"We should also further advance sports development in the country especially in the grassroots so that aspiring young athletes can be given the opportunity to improve their skills and hopefully eventually produce more Olympic medalists who will bring honor to our country," said Go, a long-time sports advocate during his proclamation speech at The Tent in Manila Hotel on Saturday, May 17.
