The para athletes will be feted in a special gathering led by President Marcos similar to the members of the Philippine Olympic team last month. From their training and preparation until the team’s participation in the city of light and love, the six Paralympians and the entire Philippine delegation received complete backing from the Philippine Sports Commission headed by its Chairman Richard Bachmann.
“This approach, combined with adequate funding, will expand our national training pool, allowing us to select more athletes and strengthen our representation in international competitions such as the Asean and Asian Para Games, and the Paralympic Games,’’ Barredo added.
