SENATE Committee on Sports Chairman Christopher 'Bong' Go promised to push for the expansion of the National Academy for Sports (NAS).

/ 17 June 2022

Go said he will move for the enactment of measures to establish more sports academies in different parts of the country. 

Iyan po ang eskwelahan na ito. Kung maganda naman po ang magiging resulta, isa po sa isusulong ko bilang Committee Chair on Sports sa Senado ay magkaroon po na maging regionalized po itong eskwelahang ito,” said Go. 

Dadagdagan po per region, bibigyan po ng pasilidad doon, at makapag-training po ‘yung mga potential athletes natin at the same time na nag-aaral po. Marami po iyan sa buong Pilipinas,” he added.

Go has been a strong supporter of the grassroots development of sports in the country. 

Isa po sa mapalad na probinsya ang Tarlac dahil ito po ang napili ng kauna-unahang National Academy for Sports. Ito pong eskwelahan na ito – training at the same time pag-aaral, pag-aaral at the same time training. Wala pong masasakripisyo,” said Go. 

Go also assured that he will continue advocating for and supporting sports development in the Philippines to keep Filipinos away from dangerous drugs.

Ako naman po, bilang Committee Chair on Sports sa Senado, ang advocacy ko po talaga ay sports and health. Kaya iniengganyo ko po ang ating mga kababayan na layuan po ang iligal na droga. Get into sports, stay away from drugs,” said Go. 

Kaya namimigay po ako ng bola para hikayatin po sila na mag-basketball na lang po tayo, mag-volleyball na lang po kayo at iba pang sports,” he added.
