Go, Nieto to open sports summit

SEN. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go and House Committee on Youth and Sports Chairman Rep. John Marvin “Yul Servo” Nieto will grace the opening ceremony of the National Sports Summit 2021 (NSS 2021) on Wednesday.

Sports Conversations is a series of weekly conference-type online sessions hosted by the Philippine Sports Commission. It starts January 27 via Zoom and will run until May.

“We are thankful to Senator Go and Chairman Nieto for their support. We know how much they value the role of sports in nation-building.” PSC Chairman William “Butch” Ramirez said.

“We hope that they will inspire our participants to excel also and make a difference in their respective fields,” added Ramirez, who will also deliver his message in the ceremony.

NSS 2021 is a three-phased program aimed at gathering the insights of different sports stakeholder and using them as foundations in crafting a sustainable and workable short- to long-term plan for Philippine sports.

All data gathered in the Sports Conversations will be processed and studied to create a new set of resolutions to be presented to sports leaders for action.

More than 700 stakeholders representing national sports associations, local government units, government agencies, schools, colleges, universities and sports-interested parties registered online for the program.

The first session will feature United Sports Academy President TJ Rosandich who will talk about Sports Success from a First World Perspective.
