Kiram hopes PSI to benefit PH combat athletes’ performance

Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Commissioner Celia Kiram is hoping that the creation of the Philippine Sports Institute (PSI) will improve the performance of Filipino combat athletes.

Kiram who was the former president of the Philippine Pencak Silat Association and the widow of the late Sultan of Sulu Jamalil Kiram, laments that the majority of local combat athletes lack basic support from the government like proper food and nutritional supplements.
