A gathering of giants. This may well describes the Joint Sports
Stakeholders’ Summit the Philippine sports Commission will be
hosting October 25 at the Bayview Park Plaza.
PSC Chairman Butch Ramirez said the one-day
affair is his agency’s one bold attempt to map out a short-term
sports development plan for 2008-2010 as prescribed by Republic Act
6847, the law that created the PSAC and the recent Executive Order
651 signed by President Gloria Arroyo last month.
EO 651 is aimed at strengthening the PSC’s
grassroot development program geared toward identifying and
developing athletes that will represent the country in future
international competitions as the Olympics, World Championships,
Asia Games, continental championships and Southeast Asian Games.
The event will seek to define the roles played
by the different government and private agencies involved in
building a strong and healthy citizenry to which sports forms an
integral part.
