Filed: Bill pushing fitness centers in every barangay

Let’s get physical!

“Las Piñas Rep. Mark Villar’s filed House Bill 4316, citing the constitutional mandate of the state to promote physical education and encourage sports programs to foster self-discipline, teamwork, and excellence among the people,” reports ABS-CBnnews.com.

Under the bill, community fitness centers will be supervised by the municipal or city health officer. Plus, free seminars to would-be physical fitness leaders and trainors in the barangays shall be provided.

The report also added: “Upon the recommendation of the local health board of the municipality or city, a full time fitness coordinator with a monthly compensation of not less than PHP10,000 shall be appointed to manage the center.”
