Three-leg Indigenous Peoples Games set

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Sports Commission will hold three regional legs of the Indigenous Peoples (IP) Games this year beginning with the Luzon leg in Salcedo, Ilocos Sur on April 19 and 20.

“We want to hold the Games in regions na madaming tribes,” said PSC commissioner Fritz Gaston during yesterday’s PSA Forum at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.

The IP Games made a successful comeback last year in Palawan after being shelved during the pandemic. Aside from the Ilocos leg, the PSC, through Gaston, is also eyeing stops in Bacolod in the Visayas and General Santos City in Mindanao.
