ZAMBOANGA CITY – The Provincial government of Tawi-Tawi, the southernmost province in Mindanao and part of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), is hosting the Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA) for the first time. | |||
Tawi-Tawi Vice Governor Ruby Sahali said the PRISAA included thousands of athletes, officials and delegations from Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Marawi City, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi, all part of the ARMM. | |||
Sahali said the week-long athletic activities started Thursday morning with a sports parade and lighting of the torch at the DEPED grounds to signal the official opening of the sports competition among the participating colleges of the ARMM Region. | |||
Sahali said that the peace-loving people of Tawi-Tawi were highly honored by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) – ARMM’s choice of their province as the venue for this year’s PRISAA games. | |||
The governor also commended Mahardika Institute of Technology (MIT) for hosting this athletic competition. The athletic delegations are billeted in schools in the province. | |||
Sahali said that sports development was a priority program of the provincial governance, and for this, “we believe that the holding of the 2012 PRISAA regional games here lend a positive impact on our sports development program.” | |||
She also reiterated that “while winning is important but how well you play the game according to rules of sportsmanship is most laudable and appreciated.” | |||
Meanwhile, in support to the activities, the provincial government has donated P10,000 in cash each for the different athletic delegations. | |||
