THE Philippine Sports Commission will hold three regional legs of the Indigenous Peoples (IP) Games this year beginning with the Luzon leg in Salcedo, Ilocos Sur on April 19 and 20.
“We want to hold the Games in regions na madaming tribes,” PSC Commissioner Fritz Gaston said in yesterday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
The IP Games made a successful comeback last year in Palawan after being shelved during the pandemic. Aside from the Ilocos leg, the PSC is also eyeing stops in Bacolod in the Visayas and General Santos City in Mindanao.
“Naputol kasi ito during the pandemic and we said hindi dapat ito maputol,” Gaston added during the weekly forum backed by San Miguel Corporation, PSC, Philippine Olympic Committee, PLDT/Smart, Milo, and ArenaPlus, the leading sports entertainment gateway in the Philippines.
