ROXAS CITY, Capiz, Feb. 21 (PIA6) – Secretary Mar Roxas (Sec Mar) of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) watched and cheered in a football game in the ongoing Western Visayas Regional Athletic Association (WVRAA) Meet last Feb. 20 at the Villareal Stadium here.
The game was between Capiz and Antique booters at the elementary level.
“We would like to greet and welcome the delegates,” said the Capiceño cabinet secretary who also interacted with local tri-media practitioners before gracing the opening ceremonies of the WVRAA’s cultural competition.
Roxas has also introduced a football coach from Metro Manila who formed part of his party upon arrival at the stadium to Capiz football team coach.
“Let’s show our hospitability and accommodation and the best of Capiz,” said the Malacañang official who was in the province to welcome Pres. Benigno S. Aquino III at the Roxas City Airport and join the President in a meeting with local leaders and the community at Sigma Civic Center in Sigma town.
The five-day sporting event kicked off Feb. 18 with a colorful traditional parade of the delegations from Aklan, Antique, Guimaras, Iloilo, Negros Occidental and Capiz from the public plaza here to the stadium.
About 4,000 athletes, coaches and WVRAA officials gathered for the 17 sporting events in both elementary and secondary level.
