MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, May 8 (PIA) --- The delegation from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) to the 2014 Palarong Pambansa bagged a total of three gold, two silver and four bronze medals in Wrestling and Taekwando competition as of today, May 8.
ARMM contingent already registered nine wins. They bagged three gold, one silver and one bronze in the Taewando pomsae or exhibition.
Further, they garnered one silver and three bronze medals in the wrestling division.
Now on its fifth day, the Palarong Pambansa is held in Laguna from May 4 to 10.
It is participated by 447 athletes representing the region led by ARMM Education Secretary Jamar Kulayan.
“We have improved a lot from our last Palarong Pambansa participation,” said Regional Sports Coordinating Office Executive Director Al-Trekee Dayan.
Dayan, along with Kulayan, is in Laguna to supervise and see the performance of the ARMM delegation.
In last year’s Palaro in Dumaguete, ARMM was one of the only two regions that did not win a single gold medal.
“We made a big leap because of the hardwork of the athletes, trainers and coaches. And the unwavering support of the regional government through its education department headed by Atty. Kulayan,” Dayan said
ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman congratulated the winning athletes and said that the region is proud of them. He also thanked the officials, coaches and teachers that supervise the regional athletes.(Bureau of Public Information-ARMM/PIA-10)
