Isang total sports program isinusulong ni Migs Zubiri

MANILA, Philippines - Isang national sports program ang isinusulong ni dating Sen. Juan Mi­guel Zubiri sa hangaring mapalakas ang tsansang manalo ng mga atleta sa mga international competitions.

“We want to have a com­prehensive national sports program, a total pro­gram that will enhance op­portunities for all Fili­pi­no athletes,” sabi ni Zu­bi­ri ng United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).

Para magawa ito, si­nabi ni Zubiri, isang ar­nis champion at may ak­da ng “An Act Decla­ring Arnis as the National Mar­tial Arts and Sports of the Philippines” o ang Re­public Act 9850, na kai­la­ngang dagdagan ang pon­do ng mga National Sports Associations.

“By total, we mean that we will look to increase financial support through the National Sports Associations and pro­vide adequate and high-quality sports equipment,” ani Zubiri. “We need better incorporation of sports in education, es­pecially in the public school system, year-round not just for the intermittent Palarong Pambansa.”

Ipinanukala rin ni Zubiri ang pagpapaayos sa mga sports facilities sa ban­sa.

“To seriously upgrade the practice and facilities of sports medicine nationwide. To ensure a steady stream of talents fighting for the country, we need to make the physical foundation of our athletes as solid as their competitors,” ani Zubiri.

Hangad ni Zubiri ang kan­yang pagbabalik sa Se­nado.
