Misamis Occidental gears up for NMRAA in Camiguin

 


Misamis Occidental—The Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental led by Governor Henry Oaminal continues his unwavering dedication to sports by convening a crucial meeting with DepEd-MisOcc Schools Division Superintendent Reynaldo Manuel Jr. and his Sports Development team in anticipation of the Northern Mindanao Regional Athletics Association (NMRAA) Meet scheduled for May 13, 2024.

More than 400 athletes from the province are set to compete in a diverse array of sports including basketball, taekwondo, softball, gymnastics, chess, sepak takraw, swimming, badminton, volleyball, arnis, archery, boxing, billiards, and para games, among others.

Governor Oaminal, together with Superintendent Reynaldo Manuel Jr., has taken proactive steps by dispatching an advance party to Camiguin to scout the billeting quarters and other sports venues. This initiative allows the athletes to familiarize themselves with the facilities before the actual competition, ensuring they are well-prepared for the event.

In an interview with DepEd MisOcc Education Program Supervisor Joseph Tapayan Boniao shared that with the collaborative efforts of Governor Oaminal and the superintendents, our assessment reveals that the readiness of our athletes stands at an impressive 80-90 percent.

“Governor Oaminal's support is evident in several aspects. 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.
