MANILA, Philippines — Matapos ang Luzon Leg sa Ilocos Sur ay dadalhin ang Indigenous Peoples Games sa Negros Occidental para sa Visayas Leg na idaraos sa Manuel Torres Sports Complex sa Bago City.

“This is the PSC’s way of taking good care of the welfare of our aspiring athletes coming from the minorities. It is among our top priority to deliver the value of sports in taking up a genuine cause for our IP communities,” sabi ni Bachmann.
