DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones highlighted the importance of sports in the physical and mental health of the student-athletes and how Filipinos show their enthusiasm for different sports disciplines.
“Filipinos have always loved sports. We adore them, we love them, and we look forward to the time when we’ll be producing ‘yong sinasabi nating world-class sports persons. We are very happy to have NAS with us, as well as the strengthening of our regional operations,” Briones said.
