from Palaro campaign
BY NIDA BUENAFE

Negros Occidental athletes who saw action in the 2008 Palarong Pambansa in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, arrived last night at the Bacolod port in the Reclamation Area aboard a fastcraft from Iloilo City.

The athletes, among them, secondary girls discus throw record breaker Maika De Oro, looked tired from the long sea travel from Palawan. They were met at the port by their parents and relatives.

The Negros delegates form the core of players who represented the region in the national games after winning the overall team championship in the regional Palaro in Antique in March.
