After days of giving other regions hope that they have a rare shot to rule the roost, the capital barreled through the field on theof the week-long grassroots sporting event, dislodging eventual second-placer Western Visayas and third-ranked Calabarzon. This is NCR’s 16th straight overall title dating back to the 2004 cancellation – a period spanning 19 years including the pandemic-induced three-year hiatus., as the region raked in a 2023 Palaro-high 36 golds across three gymnastic disciplines in four total divisions. Swimmers also made their mark with 17 golds, more than any other region.of the annual event, settled for second with 60 golds, 45 silvers, and 44 bronzes. Athletics made up the bulk of the region’s haul with 24 golds.
The consolation spot is still an achievement for Region 6, however, as it marks the first time in 10 years dating back to the 2013 Dumaguete games that Western Visayas got back second place from usual runner-up Calabarzon. Region 4-A fell just short of Region 6’s mark with 52 golds, 52 silvers, and 57 bronzes. Swimming was Calabarzon’s bread and butter sport for 2023 with 11 golds.
