"We have made great strides in the last few years in sports. My new administration will seek to ensure the sustainability of the success of our programs in the long term. I will carry out the mandates of the PSC to develop and promote sports in the grassroots as a tool towards nation building and unity and ensure full and enhanced support for our national athletes in their continued quest to bring honor and glory to our country," Eala said in a statement.
Eala said his administration would also focus on making the private sector more involved in sports so that the athletes would get all the financial support they need for their development.
"We will continue with programs that will further strengthen our sports initiatives. We will create pathways for all to get involved in sports while ensuring that elite athletes have all they need to succeed. We will reach out to the private sector, similar to the golden years of the Gintong Alay program, to harness their support for all stakeholders in sports," Eala said.
Moreover, Eala revealed he is excited about his new position and vowed to work hard to ensure Filipino athletes reach their full potential.
"The PSC, under my watch, will care for sports like no other," he said.(Romeo Braceros Jr.)
