The Palarong Pambansa, the country’s biggest sports event which opens on April 27 to May 2, promises a higher level of competition and the full use of technology in delivering real time games results to the spectators.
The Department of Education said that whatever is the latest in the international standards of sports events, it will be applied in the Palaro in Leyte, in line with DepEd’s thrust to continue to raise the level of competition as well as the management of the Palaro.
DepEd will make full use of ICT in ensuring that the public is updated on the results of the games. Immediately after each event is played, the results may be viewed on-line especially by those who cannot be at the venue. Wide screen projectors will also be installed in strategic areas.
Governor Carlos Jericho Petilla and the other provincial officials of Leyte saw to it that the athletes will have a good venue for the Palaro 2009.
The venue of the Palaro is the newly refurbished Leyte Sports Development Center in Tacloban City, Leyte and the results of the events will be viewed by the spectators through the local television and heard by the public through a private and government radio stations.
The result of the games could also be read at various websites which include http://depedtfss.wikispaces.com; leyte.gov.org; and pia.8.tk.
About 15,000 athletes and school officials from 17 delegations representing public and private elementary and secondary schools all over the country will see action in the week-long sporting event which is hosted by the Provincial Government of Leyte and the Department of Education Region 8.
Director Sol F. Matugas said there will be 17 events for the secondary level and 14 events for the primary level.
The athletes competing in the Palaro emerged from the elimination round in regional athletics meets held months and weeks before the grand Palaro.
The Province of Leyte is providing the venues and facilities for the Palaro. On the other hand, DepEd handles the technical management of the Palaro including the procurement of technical equipment needed for the events.
DepEd is ensuring the integrity of the games by conducting reorientation of the chairs in the screening committees in the district, division and regional levels so that they will be updated on the rules for screening and accreditation of athletes.
