Firstly, he has allocated a substantial budget through the school board, prioritizing the needs of our youth, particularly in terms of training and sports equipment procurement sourced in the province. Additionally, provisions for athletes' meals, training materials, and more have been ensured,’’ he shared.

The Governor has also planned to provide complete uniforms, including shoes, jackets, t-shirts, shorts, caps, and backpacks, for all athletes, coaches, and officials. Furthermore, durable training and hygiene kits are set to be distributed, reflecting Governor Oaminal's commitment to the well-being and support of our athletes throughout the competition.

As part of the comprehensive plan, Governor Oaminal will coordinate for special boat trips for the delegation from Oroquieta to Camiguin, utilizing the Starlink and Fast Cat vessels, to facilitate smooth transportation.

Preparations are underway to allocate the necessary funds and resources to meet the athletes' requirements for the NMRAA, demonstrating Governor Oaminal's dedication to elevating the province's standing in the regional and national sports arena.
