EXPLANATORY NOTE

Sports play a great role in our life as it keeps us healthy and active. It leads us to a
balanced mental and physical growth and teaches us especially the youth and our children life skills
like teamwork, leadership and patience. Great achievements come our way, particularly to our
athletes, when we maintain our physical and mental well-being through sports development.

In order to promote sports, this bill aims to create in the City of Tabuk, Province of
Kalinga, the Kalinga Sports Training Center that shall be constituted as the primary sports training
center for athletes both professional and amateur, coaches and other sports personnel in the
Province of Kalinga and its neighboring provinces. The Center will provide the people, especially our
athletes from Kalinga with decent facilities that will help in honing their skills and produce world
class talents. Time and time again, our Filipino athletes have proven that they can excel in sports
despite the lack of proper training facilities and sports training development programs in our
country, but we can do much more and achieve immense success with the provision of sports
training centers equipped with world-class facilities.

With this measure, the Government can expand its support to our athletes and other
potential athletes, particularly those in the Province of Kalinga, by giving them easy access to proper
venue, better facilities and equipment, and appropriate training programs that will complement the
determination and hearts of our athletes and will further enhance their competence.

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