Here’s to a great event in Tagum City!
“After careful deliberation, officials of the Department of Education (DepEd) have selected Tagum City, Davao del Norte as the host of the 2015 Palarong Pambansa, or National Games,” reports Clara Masinag on InterAksyon.com.
The annual Palarong Pambansa is held during the month of May, with hosting duties rotating among the island groups. The year 2015 is Mindanao’s year.
According to the report Tagum beat out five other bidders: Dipolog City, Pagadian City, Koronadal City, Lanao del Norte province, and CARAGA region.
DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro said, “This is a vote for Mindanao. This year we were surprised at the number of bidders. We hope that we still have your support.”
Luistro added, “What’s good about Tagum is the sense that most everything is in place, that you won’t need many months of preparation.”
