EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) was created by virtue of Republic Act No. 6847. In
the last twenty-five years, the PSC has performed its mandate of promoting sports to the
Filipino citizenry. It has mentored and supported Filipino athletes to excel in their chosen
sports,

Changing times, however, come with changing demands. As sports and athletics become
increasingly recognized, more people aspire to pursue their passion in sports, and with it
should come a stronger and well-equipped PSC. As such, this proposal seeks to amend parts
of R.A. 6847 for the purpose of strengthening the PSC. Further, this bill seeks to expand the
priorities of the PSC to include the support for amateur athletes through grassroots programs,
and giving attention to emerging athletes.

This representation believes that if we are to improve the sports and athletics community in
the country, we should start investing on aspiring Filipino athletes; pave for them the road
they shall walk on towards their victory; and nurture them so that they can reach the fullest of
their potential. This is the least we can do for our athletes who toil for the glory of this nation.

In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
