The Philippine Sports Commission has approved the conduct of the Batang Pinoy 2013 Visayas Qualifying Leg in Maasin City, Southern Leyte on September 24-28, 2013. Likewise, the Luzon leg will be held in Iba, Zambales on October 15-19, 2013 while the Mindanao leg was awarded to Tagum City, Davao del Norte on August 27-31, 2013.
Maasin City got the nod of the PSC upon the recommendation of Atty. Jay Alano, Batang Pinoy Executive Director, who visited the city together with other evaluators from the National Events and Competition Office to inspect the sports facilities. Three thousand athletes are expected to join the games and they will be billeted in schools.
The events to be played include archery, arnis, athletics, badminton, baseball, basketball, boxing, chess, dancesports, futsal, gymnastics, judo karatedo, lawn tennis, pencak silat, softball, sepak takraw, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, triathlon, volleyball, weightlifting, wrestling and wushu.
Maasin City has a track record of hosting national and regional sports events. Last February, it hosted the 2013 National Boxing Championships which the ABAP bigwigs indicated as the most successful staging of the event. It has been the venue of the Eastern Visayas Regional Athletic Association (EVRAA) of the Department of Education three times in 1998, 2005 and 2012.
Batang Pinoy is pursuant to Executive Order No. 44 also known as Philippine Youth Games. In partnership with the Philippine Olympic Committee, the Department of Interior and Local Government, the Department of Education and the respective Local Government Units, this national program encourages the participation of children ages 15 and below in the games under the supervision of the different sports associations.
The first, second and third placers of the different regional legs will qualify for the Batang Pinoy National Championships which will be held in Zamboanga City on November 19-23, 2013.
