While other provinces trailed below the number of medal tallies like ARMM and CARAGA regions ending this year respectively on the last two places.

What’s important is the spirit of sportsmanship is there during the whole event.

It is sure that everybody enjoyed each others company and the camaraderie strengthened no matter what regions these student-athletes came.

Palarong Pambansa is an annual event featuring multiple sports that involves student-athletes from all the 18 regions in the Philippines. Each year, there is a specific host region. This year, it’s the Albay Province.

The sporting events were done at the Bicol University Sports Complex. Also, special sports for the student-athletes with special needs have been done for them. This really made this Palarong Pambansa so special.

Will the National Capital Region still get the crown next year?

What region or province do you think will host the 60th Palarong Pambansa?
