Our biggest learning and takeaway from the second session PSC Conversations is the inclusiveness of the sports program of the local government unit, Davao del Norte.

Their sports program has a sports program from the Barangay level to senior citizens, to PWD’s to LGBTQ’s and retired former national athletes.

They’ve been innovative and creative in generating resources and funds for their sports program, and they do this, without breaking any law about government officials soliciting funds for sports.

The resources managed and responsibly spent to build state of the art facilities and to purchase top of the line equipment.

The people are getting their taxes’ worth and for the LGU, a return on investment as far as a healthy and fit constituency is concerned.

When the people are active and fit, healthcare systems aren’t overwhelmed. Cost of medical care goes down. Employee absenteeism decreases.
