PSC at USSA, magkasangga sa sports
DAVAO CITY – Pormal na senelyuhan ng Philippine Sports Commission ( PSC) at United States Sports Academy (USSA) ang pagkakaisa para sa sports development sa paglagda sa Protocol for Cooperation (POC) nitong Miyerkules sa Marco Polo Hotel.
Ipinahayag ni USSA president and chief executive officer (CEO) Dr. Thomas J. Rosandich sa isinagawang press conference, na misyon ng USSA na maging bahagi sa pagpapalakas sa sports ng mga kaalyadong bansa.
Aniya, nakatuon ang programa sa education, research at serbisyo.
“We have taught programs to over 65 countries. This (partnership) is part of our mission,” pahayag ni Rosandich.
Nagpasalamat naman si PSC chairman William I. Ramirez sa suportang ipinagkaloob ni Rosandich, tumayo ring panauhing pandangal sa isinagawang 2017 International Conference on Physical Education, Recreation, Fitness and Sports Science sa The Royal Mandaya Hotel.
Ang nabuong ugnayan, ayon sa USSA ay lubhang makatutulong sa katuparan nang layunin ng Philippine Sports Institute (PSI) na mapatatag ang elite sports at mapalakas ang grassroots sports programs.
“USSA shall work with government entities and organizations designated by PSC to contribute to the development of national sports effort; utilize its expertise to review and submit reccomendations with respect to the education and training employed by the PSC and its affiliates such as the PSI in the conduct of national sport initiatives; and will provide the education and training programs to individuals and groups that the PSC will identify,” ayon kay Rosandich.
Kaakibat ng PSC sa programa ang Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, Philippine Olympic Committee, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) at national sports associations.
“The ball is with us... the journey was difficult, rough and bumpy. But I can see that at the end of the term of the president we can answer his mantra in making sports accessible to the periphery,” pahayag ni Ramirez.
