Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte on Saturday appealed to the Senate to expedite the passage of a matching version of a House of Representatives-approved bill advancing grassroots sports development.
Villafuerte said the senators can help give grassroots sports development deserved attention by passing this third and final session of the 19th Congress their version of the approved House Bill 8495. The said bill would grant start-up funds or discount vouchers to young athletes who cannot afford paying the membership fees of local sports or recreation clubs.
Villafuerte explained this bill on the proposed financial aid to young athletes will complement the measure already passed on third and final reading by both the House and the Senate institutionalizing a Philippine National Games program. The legislator said the proposed enactment into law of both bills jibes, too, with the recent commitment of Speaker Martin Romualdez for the House to ensure sufficient funds in the proposed 2025 national budget for sports, with emphasis on grassroots development.
