4th Asian Beach Games in 2013 awarded to Philippines

THE Philippines was awarded the hosting rights of the 4th Asian Beach Games in 2013 and Cebu is eyed as one of the possible venues of the games.

Cebu City Sports Commission (CCSC) head Edward Hayco said they are open to taking the lead should Cebu be considered as the main hub of the multi-sporting meet.

The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and the Olympic Council of Asia will be making their rounds to inspect the possible venues next month. The other provinces that are being eyed are Bohol, Negros Oriental and Siquijor. Also aggressive in their intention to host are Camarines Sur, Bataan, Zambales and Siargao.

  2. Good news for the Philippines! Finally a continental sporting event after more than 50 years. Just hope that they don't rush on selecting the venue for the event as it entails a lot of work like what we went through here in Muscat.

    Congrats too to Nonong!!!! Mabuhay po Kayo!
