Based on the news, the provincial government spent Php 10 M to prepare the facilities and accommodation to be used in Palarong Pambansa. The closed bidder with seven votes from the Board is Bacolod City, which hosted the Palaro for many times.

These are all for now. I don't want to bore you with a long post. I'll tell you more about what happen to the Palarong Pambansa (National Games) here in the City of Gentle people - Dumaguete City. I just felt the need to share this, and I am really so proud that our city has become the host for this year's event. One thing I can boast about our place - it's Safe and people are accommodating. 



Just me,

Phioxee
