The promotion of indigenous games in the country through regular competitions and the strengthening of local sports programs through institutionalized funding for young athletes were at the forefront of a House panel’s meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 8, as the committee approved three bills for these purposes.
A substitute bill of the consolidation of HBs 1651 and 4465, as well as HBs 2704, 4376, and 5190 will be prepared by the committee secretariat. These funds will provide vouchers for young athletes that they can use to pay for the registration, membership, participation, and training fees, support for local sports clubs, recreation clubs, and sports organizations for projects and programs, and assistance for local sports clubs, recreation clubs, and sports organizations to improve their sports facilities.
“We can’t just rely on PSC to go nationwide doing grassroots. We should also do our part. We should be in partnership with PSC,” he added. He furthered that LGUs should also help in allocating funds for sports associations and sports clubs. “This proposed measure seeks to preserve indigenous games to ensure that future generations of Filipinos can still enjoy them,” Vargas added.
