KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato, March 22 (PIA)—For the second year in a row, South Cotabato’s athletic delegation clinched the championship title of the Cotabato Regional Athletic Association (CRAA) Meet held here from March 18 to 21. | |||
Summary of results released by CRAA 2012 chief recorder Christopher Frusa showed that South Cotabato garnered a total of 621 points besting 2010 champion General Santos City, which earned 507 points. | |||
Cotabato Province and Koronadal City were second runner up and third runner up, respectively. | |||
The host province’s lead came from boys’ and girls’ athletics in elementary and high school where it got 120 points. | |||
It also showed supremacy in softball, swimming, and volleyball in elementary girls as well as baseball, basketball, and volleyball in elementary boys. | |||
Its high school contingent reigned in boxing (boys) and tennis (girls). | |||
First runner up General Santos City won first place in elementary girls’ women’s artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, Taekwondo; secondary boys’ chess, men’s artistic gymnastics, taekwondo; and, secondary girls’ basketball, chess, rhythmic gymnastic, women’s artistic gymnastics, and taekwondo. | |||
South Cotabato schools district physical education supervisor Pedro Dajay attributed their victory to the discipline that the athletes have shown. | |||
The provincial government earlier alloted P350,000 for the incentives of winning athletes but because South Cotabato players performed better than expected , the budget was insufficient to cover for the prizes for the winners originally promised them. | |||
“Instead of P3,000, gold medalists were only given P1,000,” Dajay said. Silver medal winners received P700 instead of P1,000 while those who won bronze received P500. | |||
However, Dajay said they have already asked for additional allocation for this purpose from the provincial government. | |||
“We will give additional incentive to winning athletes once the provincial government approves our request for extra funds,” he promised. | |||
On his part, Gov. Arthur Y. Pingoy said he has already considered allocating more funds to pay for the incentives of the athletes and added that he has already talked with Vice Gov. Elmo Tolosa regarding sources of funds for this. | |||
He also congratulated the officials, coaches and athletes for retaining the championship title but also challenged them achieve the same feat next year; he also implied willingness to host the regional sports meet for the third year. | |||
More than 100 athletes from South Cotabato have qualified to represent Soccsksargen region in the Palarong Pambansa in Lingayen, Pangasinan in May. Although the actual number of athletes that will compose the region's delegation has yet to be ascertained, Dajay assured that the largest bulk of athletes will come from the host province. | |||
