MANILA, Philippines — Organizers of the Little League Philippines Series are taking all steps to guarantee the safety of all participants in the finals scheduled April 9 to 16 in Ilagan, Isabela.
A total of 63 teams culled from regional tournaments in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will take part in the finals that will offer slots to this year’s Asia-Pacific Games.
Little League administrator Mike Zialcita yesterday said they are aware of the danger posed by the intense summer heat on the hundreds of participants aged 12-14 years.
“We agreed to implement the rule that there will be no matches from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. because it’s the hottest time of the day,” said Zialcita in the PSA Forum at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex yesterday.
