Amend Palarong Pambasa law – Mequi

With the government giving assurance of throwing all support to Filipino athletes and the historic launching of Philippine Institute Sports (PIS) focused on scientific-based training with emphasis in grassroots development, a former government sports official wanted that Palaro Pambansa Law must be amended and the creation of a department of sports must be stopped.

Dr. Aparicio Mequi, a former Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman, was among those senior sports officials who lauded the establishment of PIS, but called on the amendment of the Palaro law.
