ZAMBOANGA Sibugay Governor Wilter Palma announced that P6.5 million has been allocated for the province’ athletic delegation that will compete in the Zamboanga Peninsula Regional Athletic Association (ZPRAA) meet this year.
Palma said the funding allocation will be used to purchase the needed equipments, uniforms, incentives, food, and transportation of the athletic delegation.
He advised the teachers to closely monitor the food preparation to avoid problems like “food poisoning.”
