After being shelved for five years, the Philippine National Para Games returns with over 900 participants taking centerstage from Nov. 11 to 14 at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila and the PhilSports Complex in Pasig City.
Philippine Paralympic Committee and PHILSPADA president Mike Barredo on Tuesday said nine sports will be on tap for the Games — archery, athletics, badminton, boccia , chess, powerlifting, swimming, table tennis and wheelchair basketball.
Barredo said the Games were last held in 2019 in Malolos, Bulacan before it was shelved due to COVID-19. But with the help of the Philippine Sports Commission, the eighth staging will soon unfold. “This is also the biggest opportunity for us to select players for the national Para team,” said Custodio in the weekly forum presented by San Miguel Corporation, PSC, Philippine Olympic Committee, MILO, Smart/PLDT, and ArenaPlus, the country’s 24/7 sports app.
