EXPLANATORY NOTE

Sports help instill in people the values of camaraderie, sportsmanship, self-
Confidence and discipline. In fact, the total development of a person requires not
only intellectual and emotional stability but physical fitness as well, which can be
achieved through sports. One must also realize the immense potential of sports in
bringing the people and the community together. They break barriers and aid in
Creating a better world, bonding cultural diversities and bringing about peace.

In recognition thereof, Article XIV, Section 19 of the 1987 Constitution, in
part, provides that ‘the State shall Promote physical education and encourage
Sports programs, league competitions, and amateur sports, including training for
international competitions, to foster self-discipline, teamwork, and excellence for
the development of a healthy and alert citizenry.’

Pursuant thereto, this bill seeks the establishment and construction of a
Sports complex in the City of Tayabas, Province of Quezon, consisting of an air-
conditioned gymnasium, a basketball court, and training centers for various sports.
Its hoped that the said sports facility will provide opportunities to progress of the


host community and adjacent areas and develop sporting skills and expertise
among the people.

For the foregoing reasons, the immediate consideration and passage of this
bill is earnestly sought.
