IF given the chance, Pangasinan should host the PRISAA National Games anew in 2013.

This was the sentiment expressed by Atty. Gonzalo Duque, Lyceum-Northwestern University president and former Region 1 president of PRISAA (Private Schools Athletic Association), who said he already submitted his recommendation to the PRISAA national leadership and is hopeful that it will be approved.

Speaking at a ceremony where he accepted an Outstanding Leadership Award from PRISAA Region 1, Duque said he actually recommended that the next national games scheduled next year be held in Pangasinan after the other regions that were scheduled to host it based on a rotational scheme declined the hosting job.

PRISAA officials, however, decided to hold the 2011 games in Metro Manila.

Duque said he was certain that the provincial government of Pangasinan as well as Dagupan City will be more than willing to co-host the Games in 2013 to be held at the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center in Lingayen and other sports facilities in Dagupan.
