Youth and Sports Development

The Provincial Government recognizes the youth as active partners in the development process and community building. As such, coordination and consultation with the youth sector is at hand to identify the needs and the role of the youth. In consonance with this policy, the provincial government will provide and promote mass based youth and sports programs aimed at fostering discipline, team work and responsible attitude. As such, the following program components will be undertaken:

The council will be tasked to act as provincial government's arm to coordinate Youth and Sports activities as well as provide a forum to be represented by youth organizations and related agencies where issues, concerns and needs will be discussed to provide and assist in the formulation of an overall framework plan that will empower the youth to become contributions and prime movers in the development process.

The creation of division/unit for Youth and Sports will be vital in the proper management, formulation and coordination of Youth and Sports plans and programs, issues and concerns which will be implemented by the provincial government.

Consistent with the promotion of mass based sports programs policy and plans, the provincial government will encourage/conduct sports festivities in the barangay, municipal and provincial level to ensure that the people particularly the youth will actively participate in the sports activities implemented by the Local Government Units. This will also be a tool in developing a ready pool of athletes in the province for national and even international competitions.
