The thrill of competition may be over for the Palarong Pambansa 2024 held at the Cebu City Sports Center, but the future is bright for Philippine athletics! Here's some exciting news announced during the closing ceremony:
Agusan del Sur Secures 2026 Hosting Rights: The province of Agusan del Sur in Mindanao emerged victorious in its bid to host the 2026 Palarong Pambansa. This marks a significant moment for the region, as it aims to leverage the event to promote sports tourism and showcase its improved facilities.
Ilocos Norte Gears Up for 2025: Athletes won't have to wait long for the next national games. Ilocos Norte in Luzon will be the official host for the 65th edition of the Palarong Pambansa in 2025. This announcement allows athletes and their regions to begin planning and strategizing for another year of athletic competition.
Historically, Palarong Pambansa rotates hosting rights between Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. With Cebu City hosting in 2024, the win for Agusan del Sur ensures the tradition continues.
Congratulations to both Agusan del Sur and Ilocos Norte! We eagerly await the development of their plans to make these upcoming Palarong Pambansa events truly special.
