TAGUM CITY, DAVAO DEL NORTE DJanuary 12, 2015 – Governor Rodolfo del
Rosario reaffirmed the readiness of the province to host this year’s
Palarong Pambansa slated on May 3-9, 2015, which will be staged mainly

“If the games are to be held tomorrow, we are ready,” the governor
assured, after meeting with stakeholders, local officials and executives
and officials from the Department of Education.
He said the province is leaving no stones unturned in its bid to make
its first hosting of the Palarong Pambansa the best experience ever in
the annals of the country’s largest sporting conclave.
“We intend to make this the best-ever Palarong Pambansa,” del Rosario reiterated.
Cesar Abalon, Deputy Secretary-General of the Palarong Pambansa, is optimistic the province will be able to attain this target.
“I have seen the passion and commitment of Gov. del Rosario and the
support of all the sectors in achieving the most successful Palaro to
date,” he said.
On top of gearing up the sports complex and 15 other playing venues
in Tagum City, the governor promised a comfortable and memorable stay
for over 13,000 athletes, coaches and officials from the 17 regions of
the country.
The province has prepared over 20 billeting quarters for the
delegations and technical officials, complete with uninterrupted clean
water supply and power, and round-the-clock security, among other
amenities.
The governor said the provincial government has shelled out about P15
million for the event, which include allocations for the food, hotel
accommodation and transportation of DepEd officials.
Local
government units, especially those identified as billeting sites have
also been directed to prepare their tourist attractions to help the
delegates make the most of their stay in the province.
“We will promote our tourist attractions so that the delegates can
make most of their time and learn more about our province,” del Rosario
