DavNor gets ready for hosting 2015 Palarong Pambansa

DAVAO CITY, Jan 22 (PIA) – Preparations are on for the forthcoming Palarong Pambansa slated on May 3 to 9, 2015 in Tagum City, Davao del Norte.

Governor Rodolfo del Rosario has personally supervised the refurbishing of Davao del Norte Sports Complex which had been the venue of various national competitions recently.

He said the DDNRC has to be on its top shape to ensure the safety and integrity of the sports competitions which aim to produce quality and world-class athletes for the country.

As member of the Palarong Pambansa executive committee, Tagum City Mayor Allan Rellon said he has formed a local committee that coordinates with the provincial government of Davao del Norte for the preparations.

The committee has been organized to ensure the orderly holding of the Palarong Pambansa this summer, Rellon said during Wednesday’s Biz Talk at Big 8 Corporate Hotel, Tagum City.

He said values formation, peace and order, power, better water and billeting facilities, refurbishing of sports facilities are the key areas being focused in the preparations of the Tagum City government in co-hosting the national sports event.

Rellon said a third batch of its 3,500 strong tricycle drivers is undergoing values formation on proper dealing of visitors to ensure that they treat visitors accordingly.

“It is like preparing our house for a big occasion. Physical preparation and values formation are ensured for the comfort of the athletes and officers from various regions of the country on the duration of their visit,” the mayor stated.

He said that his administration will assume as a complimentary role with Gov. Del Rosario as the host of the Palarong Pambansa 2015.
