“We are not only thankful but also very proud of their generous support for the Palaro,” said Davao del Norte Gov. Rodolfo del Rosario. “With their help, we’re on track to stage the best Palaro ever.”

Organizers cited the comprehensive website (www.davnorpalaro2015.com) and the Olympic-style Palarong Pambansa Guidebook, which serves as the “bible” for all participants, as the significant innovations this year.

“Hosting the Palaro is a privilege,” said Del Rosario.  “It gives us the opportunity not only to showcase our capability to stage multisports competitions, but also to show how well the province and the region have progressed in terms of business, economy and tourism.” June Navarro
