Mountain Province gears up for Cordi sports meet
MORE than 3,000 delegates from Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga, Ifugao, Baguio City and Mountain Province are expected to converge in Bontoc from April 1-5 to compete in the weeklong Cordillera Administrative Region Athletic Association (Caraa) 2006.
Philippine Sports Commission Chairman William Ramirez will be the guest of honor and main speaker during the Caraa opening program on April 2.
The theme of this year's Caraa is "Gawis Tay Kasin Tako Matugop ay Menay-ayam (Together we gather to play)".
With barely two weeks before the event, preparations of sports venues, facilities, billeting areas and other requirements are now in full swing with all working committees busy coordinating their assigned tasks.
The Provincial School Board, chaired by Mountain Province Governor Maximo Dalog, already came out with the billeting assignments of the delegates in both public and private schools in the capital town.
Baguio, which has the biggest number of official delegates with 558, and the Province of Ifugao with 475 delegates, will be housed at the Mountain Province State Polytechnic College.
Benguet, with 484 delegates together with the 455 Kalinga delegates, will occupy the Bontoc Central School while the 350 delegates of Abra will stay at the All Saints Mission Elementary School.
Apayao, with the smallest delegation of 240, will be billeted at the Saint Vincent
Elementary School while the host province with its 556 delegates and the Regional Technical Working Group will be housed at the Mountain Province General Comprehensive High School.
Host municipalities are also assigned to assist the different delegations. They are asked to provide a truckload of firewood, garbage sacks and drums for storing water to be used by the Caraa delegates assigned to them.
