Reg'l Palaro set in March
The staging of the 2006 edition of the Western Visayas Regional Athletics Association Meet has been moved from April to March 12 to 18 in Roxas City, Capiz, an official of the Department of Education said yesterday.
The hosting of the competitions has been re-scheduled because it will be difficult to assign teachers responsibilities in April which is already their summer break, Dr. Eden Deriada, chief of the DepEd Physical Education and School Sports Division for Region VI, told the DAILY STAR.
Some of the athletes may also take their vacations in
April and it would be inappropriate for coaches to organize their competitors
for the regional event, Deriada said.
