Ikinagalak ng buong Philippine sports world na naging bahagi ng State of the Nation address ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. kahapon ang pagsuporta sa palakasan lalo na ang kampanya ng 28 Filipino athletes sa Paris 22 sa Olympics at 6 na atleta sa Paralympics na magsisimula sa Biyernes sa French capital.
“Thank you, PBBM, for your kind wishes for the athletes at the Olympics,” ayon kay Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino.
“It’s definitely inspiring and it’s an extreme boost to the morale not only to our athletes competing in Paris, but to the entire Philippine sports,” dagdag ni Tolentino na paroroon sa Paris ngayong Martes para agapayan ang Philippine Olympic campaign.
“This maybe exaggerated but the President putting emphasis on sports in a very important event in his administration—something that’s never been done by past Presidents in memory— gives us the goose bumps,” dagdag ni Tolentino, bilang POC head ay personal na mungkahi niya sa Malacañang, kay President Marcos na ibilang ang sports agenda sa kanyang SONA.
“As we speak, 28 of our finest athletes are competing in Paris now for the glory of the Philippines, drawing appreciation through a rousing clap from his audience. “Let us wish them well and the best of luck.”
It’s not only the Paris Olympics campaign that was in President Marcos’s SONA, but also grassroots sports.
“Grassroots and sports of all programs are back, nailunsad na namin ang Palarong Pambansa after three years na pagkakatigil nito dahil sa pandemya,” aniya.
Idinagdag ni Pangulong Marcos: “We will continue to support these health enhancing sports programs.
“We are very grateful to the President for showing his love and concern for sports,” ani Tolentino. “And we, at the POC and Philippine sports as a whole, continuously thank his Administration for relentlessly supporting sports through his financial support.”
