Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman Patrick "Pato" Gregorio aims to strengthen the country's grassroots sports program by establishing National Training Centers in various regions.
Gregorio believes that athlete development should not be limited to Metro Manila to build a solid sports foundation.
President Ferdinand "Marcos Jr. supports this initiative, urging the fast-tracking of regional training centers.
Many existing facilities can be developed, and new training hubs will be created around identified local talents in areas lacking proper venues.
Discussions are underway with National Sports Associations (NSAs) to ensure training centers align with their concepts and talent identification strategies.
Gregorio stressed the importance of local officials adopting specific sports for each training center to efficiently utilize resources and ensure progress.
