Recounting his experiences as a sports buff himself, the provincial chief executive urged athletes to hone their sports prowess and never let setbacks shatter their dreams.
Espino urged coaches and parents to continue to support the aspirations of their players not only to bring home victory, but also, to become a better person even outside the sports arena.
“Ang magandang kinabukasan ng ating mga estudyante ay magbubunga ng magandang kinabukasan ng ating mahal na probinsya ng Pangasinan,” Governor beamed with pride as he affirmed provincial government’s commitment in supporting the youth.
Meanwhile, Schools Division Superintendent Atty. Donato Balderas, Jr. pointed out that the sports competition aims to inculcate a positive good outlook in the students as it prepares for the formation of teams to compete in the upcoming Region 1 Athletic Association (R1AA) Meet 2019.
