EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article  11  Section  17  of the  1987  Constitution  provides,  "The  State  shall  give  priority  to
education,  science  and  technology,  arts,  culture,  and  sports  to  foster  patriotism  and  nationalism,
accelerate social progress, and promote total human liberation and development." Article XIV Section
19 (1 ) also states "The State shall promote physical education and encourage sports programs, league
competitions,  and  amateur  sports,  including training  for  intemational  competitions,  to  foster  self-
discipline, teamwork, and excellence for the development of a healthy and alert citizenry."
The Department of Education, on multiple occasions has recognized the importance of sports
in developing the youth's great potentials to become globally competitive citizens.  The DepEd  sees
sports as a way for students to learn important values such as discipline, teamwork, excellence, fair
play,  solidarity,  and  sportsmanship,  which  will  help  shape them  into  well-rounded  Filipino youth.
There have also been multiple  studies showing that apart from physical health benefits,  sports  can
offer the youth the opportunity to lean new skills, develop self-confidence, and build character.
President Ferdinand R.  Marcos Jr. has also previously  urged DepEd and  LGUs to continue
supporting  sports  development,  urging them to provide  student-athletes with  support,  training,  and
opportunities. These all point to the challenge to provide  unique opportunities to hone  local  sports
talent while ensuring access to quality education.
In view of the foregoing, approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
