DAVAO DEL NORTE, April 26, (PNA) — In preparation for the biggest sport event here, ‘Palaro pathways’ were built in order to connect the adjoining elementary and high school campuses, which were previously separated by sturdy concrete walls and fences.
The pathways connecting elementary and high school sites where the athletes, coaches and other delegates will be billeted for the Palarong Pambansa 2015 literally typified the theme of the national games: “Breaking Borders, Building Peace”.
The provincial government has noted that most of the adjoining campuses were separated by sturdy concrete walls and fences that establish school territories and promote student safety. The barriers will give some inconvenience to the delegates trying to get to their fellows from the same region who were housed in the adjoining site.
But the schools decided to break a portion of their fences to connect the campuses earning positive reaction from Governor Rodolfo del Rosario, who said the opening in the fences makes it easier for the officials and delegates to breeze through the borders of the billeting quarters of the Palaro.
“Our billeting quarters exemplified our theme in the literal sense when bordering elementary and high schools opened their fences to connect their campuses,” he noted. (PNA)
