Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham Tolentino stated that the AYG will be held every two years, with future editions planned for 2031 and beyond.
Tolentino indicated that the country's ability to host hinges on the support of the Philippine government.
He highlighted that hosting the AYG would provide a significant platform for young Filipino athletes to compete on a larger stage, connecting grassroots competitions like the Palarong Pambansa and Batang Pinoy to international events.
