DavNor PALARONG PAMBANSA 2015 Opening Ceremony

Описание: Host of Palarong Pambansa 2015
The hosting of the Palarong Pambansa 2015 by the province of Davao del Norte is a dream come true. It is one of the big events, if not the biggest, that add a feather to the colorful cap of the province. It is an important and lasting legacy of the present administration that will go down the rich history of Davao del Norte.

P.E.O.P.L.E. and Peace. These are the two elements that drive the province to venture into the Herculean task of hosting the largest sports gathering in the country. The Palarong Pambansa is the culmination of the year-long athletic events student-athletes from public and private elementary and high schools had to go through from the District Level up to the Regional Finals. It is the ultimate goal of every student and coach for each sporting year.

The Palaro is the “Olympics of the Grassroots.” It is where future sporting greats will emerge. It is where skills are honed and dreams are sharpened. It is where pride in the Filipino spirit is born.

With the Palaro, the P.E.O.P.L.E. development agenda of the province, spelled out as People Empowerment; Education and Environment; Optimum Health and Social Services; Public-Private Partnership (PPP); Link to the World; and Employment and Livelihood Opportunities is now extended not just to the people of Davao del Norte but also to the whole nation. It gives the message that more important than any infrastructure are the people for whom these are made. It emphasizes the importance of our youth and their education through sports in a sound ecological environment. It opens the province to the world through a boost in tourism and economy.

The Palarong Pambansa 2015 in Davao del Norte will also be an avenue to foster peace in Mindanao and in the country. With its theme, “Breaking Borders, Building Peace,” the province hopes to contribute to lasting peace efforts as well as let our countrymen know that Davao Region is a peaceful region with peace-loving people.

Gov. Rodolfo P. del Rosario is optimistic that this year’s Palarong Pambansa will be a way to show the world how sports could be a powerful tool in achieving peace.

Armed with the partnership of the Department of Education and the province of Davao del Norte, boosted by the support of the public and private sectors and covered by the providence of the Divine Sportsmaster, Palarong Pambansa 2015 could well be “the best Palaro ever!”
