Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino, the ‘father’ of Philippine ROTC Games, is shown after formally declaring the Visayan qualifying leg open at the Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.

Tolentino, Defense Undersecretary Pablo Lorenzo, CHED executive director Atty.

Making its maiden appearance at the Carlos Hilado Memorial State University campus grounds is the raiders competition, an obstacle course-like race, which is familiar to those who undergo boot camp training by Army, Air Force and Navy recruits and enlisted personnel. “From seven sports we now have 14 disciplines and while from 700 athletes in the Visayan leg last year, we have close to 2,000 athletes, a sign of the growing popularity and interest in the Philippine ROTC Games,” Jaro pointed out.

“I am excited to see more legacies of ROTC Games being contributed to the success of Philippine sports,” Coo, a bowling legend, said of the competition hosted by CHMSU led by CMHSU President Dr. Norberto Mangulabnan.
