As we hold the Division Athletic Meet starting today, we are reminded of the remarkable contributions that sports and athletics have imparted to the development of our country at large, and of the pride they created in every Filipino.
Each time we learn about the achievements of our Filipino athletes abroad, we realize that we are a nation of great race. For many times we dominate the world's boxing area - and we know that we are not an inferior people. Sports and athletics boost our confidence. It encourages every aspiring athlete to pursue his passion and to find self-fulfillment in sports.
La Carlota City is now a home to promising young players in tennis, in boxing, n in track and field. And I salute everyone who participated in the programs for sports and supported our players - the teachers, coaches, the parents and their co-learners who believed and inspired them to run their race.
The Division Athletic Meet represents the city government's goal to undertake programs that will put its name in the Philippines and hopefully in the world's athletic map.
I wish the participants to aim for excellence and to enjoin every moment of the game. Esttablish friendship with your opponents because in every endeavor, relationship matters most.
