THE Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) officially kicks off the National Sports Summit 2021 on Thursday with a lecture-forum on how local government units (LGUs) could fully harness their potentials in organizing sports events and festivals.
Giovanni Gulanes, head of the Davao del Norte Sports and Youth Development Office, will talk about “Sports in Local Governments (A Model System)” in the two-hour online summit kick off that starts at 1 p.m.
“We are excited to showcase DavNor as a model. Hopefully, it could inspire other leaders and coordinators from different LGUs to pursue their own sports development programs” PSC Chairman William “Butch” Ramirez.
Gulanes will reveal the secret to DavNor’s success in hosting multisport festivals like the Palarong Pambansa and Batang Pinoy and will also share how the province successfully and effectively implemented its sports program.
“The talk will be about the best practices of the Province of Davao del Norte in its sports development program,” Gulanes said.
Galanes’s talk will highlight three of DavNor’s sports policies—TRAIN (Talent Reinforcement and Intensification), COMPETE (Complementary Projects for Exposure in Tournaments and Events), and HOST (Holistic Organizing of Sports Tournaments).
No less than President Duterte opened the summit in a virtual gathering last Thursday that included Senate Committee on Youth and Sports Chairman Christopher “Bong” Go, House Committee on Youth and Sports Committee head John Marvin “Yul Servo” Nieto and Department of Education Secretary Leonor Briones.
