PSC sets afternoon schedule for national athletes, public use

The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) has explained the afternoon schedule for public use of its track and field facilities, which were officially opened on Tuesday.

Chairman Patrick Gregorio told ABS-CBN News that the schedule from 3 pm to 10 pm aims to accommodate training sessions for national athletes who usually train in the morning.

Gregorio emphasized the need to balance access for the public with the focus of national athletes preparing for upcoming events, such as the Southeast Asian Games.

The PSC chief stated they are following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive during his SONA to encourage Filipinos to lead active and healthy lifestyles.

Gregorio also plans to write to local government units to encourage them to open their existing track and field facilities to the public if not already done.
