Philippine News: Philippine Team Ready for Asian Games in China
« on: October 06, 2010, 03:56:04 PM »
Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman Ritchie Garcia assured on Monday that the 248 Filipino athletes will be properly equipped when they compete in the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China from Nov. 12 to 27 this year.

The veteran sports official said the PSC spent close to P10 million for the acquisition of sports equipment, adding “it will be delivered by the end of this month.”

”These equipment will be used not only in the Guangzhou Games but also in future international tournaments,” Garcia said in a press briefing.

The P10 million is on top of the P30 million allotted by the PSC for the country’s preparation and actual participation to the Asian Games.

Garcia said that each of the Asiad-bound athletes would also receive additional P10,500 per month for their food allowance and other nutritional needs in preparation for the prestigious sports competition.

Meanwhile, Garcia declined to speculate on how many medals the RP delegation would bring home.

”I’ll be in Guangzhou but only as a representative of the government. We’re just supporting cast here,” Garcia said.

Earlier, RP chief of Mission Joey Romasanta said the Philippine team would surpass the country’s four gold, six silver and nine bronze medals it won in the 2006 Doha Asian Games. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
