MANILA, Philippines - Ten-year-old public school swimmer Khiel Libat won all five events in his age group and emerged the most outstanding swimmer in the Philippine Swimming League 22nd leg, dubbed Gov. Alfonso Umali Cup, yesterday at Calapan, Oriental Mindoro.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, April 20 (PIA) -- The local government units (LGUs) of Oriental Mindoro and other concerned national government agencies (NGA) will have a dialogue on flood mitigation measures on April 28, to be held at the Provincial Capitol Square, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines.  


Libat, from the Lipa Mediatrix Swimming Club, outclassed the opposition in the 50m butterfly (35.01), surpassing the American AAAA age group motivational time of 35.09.
It can be recalled that a month ago, several barangays in the province particularly in the areas of Naujan, Baco, Mansalay, Victoria, and some parts of Calapan City experienced massive flooding caused by a low pressure area.  


Libat also reached the AAA mark in the 50m backstroke (39.61), 50m breaststroke (44.05) and 50m freestyle (34.69) and AA in the 100m breaststroke (1:38.8).
The dialogue was initiated by Gov. Alfonso Umali who said that it is time to prepare mitigating measures for the safety of individuals especially those who are in flood-prone areas of the province. Umali said the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) is ready for the distribution of relief goods in case of shortage of relief goods in the municipal level when disaster strikes.  


Fifteen-year-old Michael Sangalang of the host Raging Paddlers topped the 200m breaststroke while Andrei Manzo (17), a candidate for 2013 Summer Universiade, topped the 200m, 50m breaststroke and 50m freestyle.
The dialogue will also tackle how government agencies can use their available funds to integrate programs on flood mitigation measures and other solutions.  


PSL president Susan Papa said the monthly PSL competition drew the full support of the Calapan City and provincial government headed by Gov. Alfonso Umali Jr.
Meanwhile, a flood summit will also be held in the province on May 8 with the provincial government as lead LGU. (LBR/LTC/PIA-Calapan City)
