IMPACT ON NATIONAL ATHLETES

During the 2019 SEA GAMES hosting of the Philippines, it became a great source of pride and honor on our athletes to have such state-of-the-art sports facilities. According to Nikko Huelgas, it is a huge advantage during his trainings.

This is one of the grand moves of the government to support our National Athletes for them to bring home more medals.
