MANILA, Philippines – Uumpisahan na ng mahigit 5,000 atleta kabilang na ang mga miyembro ng national team ang tagisan para sa gold medal sa pagbubukas ngayon sa 2018 Philippine National Games na dadaluhan ni Pangulong Rodrigo R. Duterte bilang panauhing pandangal sa Cebu City Sports Center.

Bukod kay Pres. Duterte, inaasahan din ang pagdalo nina Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr. at Presidential Management Staff  head Sec. Christopher “Bong” Go.

Ang mananalo na LGUs ay makakatanggap ng Php 5 million mula sa PSC habang Php 4 million naman sa first runner-up, Php 3 million sa second runner-up, Php 2 million sa fourth placer at ang fifth placer ay mag-uuwi ng Php 1 million.
