Vice President and outgoing Education Secretary Sara Duterte on Tuesday urged student-athletes competing in the 2024 Palarong Pambansa to learn the values of discipline, friendship, and perseverance in order to reach their dreams.
Cebu City is the host for this year’s multi-sport competition, which will be held from July 9 to July 16. Sports that will be featured at the Palarong Pambansa include basketball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, and athletics, among others.
In her message, Duterte said that the annual Palarong Pambansa plays a significant role in honing students and preparing them for bigger competitions in life.
“Sa ating mga atleta, dito ay hindi kayo uuwing talo—dahil ang inyong partisipasyon sa ating mga kompetisyon ay isa nang tagumpay para sa bawat isa sa inyo,” the Vice President said.
(To our athletes, you will not go home defeated—because your participation in our competitions is already a victory for all of you.)
“Baunin sana ninyo ang mga leksyon ng pakikipagkaibigan, disiplina, pagpupursige, at katatagan para sa katuparan ng inyong mga pangarap,” she added.
(May you bring home the lessons of friendship, discipline, persistence, and resilience for the fulfillment of your dreams.)
Duterte also hoped that their goal of giving young Filipinos access to appropriate, timely, and high-quality education would be achieved. —VBL, GMA Integrated News
