preparing their athletes who are going to compete in the week-long activity.
“We have at least
500 players who are going to participate in this year’s Palarong ARMAA,” she
said.
Kawits aid the
Palaro would want to promote not only physical education specifically a
well-rounded development of the youth in the region, but also for them to be responsible
advocates of sports instead of focusing to other invaluable doings.
“Palarong ARMMAA intends
to develop physical skills, self-discipline and sportsmanship among the
athletes. It could also boost their confidence,” said Kawit.
The Athletes, both
from elementary and secondary levels, are competing in sports like basketball,
volleyball, football, athletics, boxing, wushu, arnis, wrestling, taekwondo,
and archery.
In addition, Kawit
said they also solicited support from Maguindanao’s 2nd District
Representative Zajid Mangudadatu who gave 500 sports bags for the athletes.
“From the end of
the DepEd, we have also provided them with shoes and uniforms which they will
use in the week-long competition,” said Kawit.
But apart from
this, we would also soclicit support from the LGUs to support their athletes.
Expectedly, participants of the Palarong ARMAA would be
from nine schools divisions, namely Maguindanao I and II, Marawi City, Lanao
del Sur I and II, Lamitan City, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi – all under the
regional Department of Education (DepEd-ARMM). (GILMHAR A. LAO & ANNE B. ACOSTA - MINDANAO EXPOSE’)
