PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. called on all government agencies, instrumentalities, and local government units to support the Philippines’ hosting of the 22nd Asian Karate Youth Championship.
In a two-page Memorandum Circular No. 55 signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on July 16, President Marcos said the 22nd Asian Karate Youth Championship will be held from August 22 to 25 at the Philsports Multi-purpose Arena in Pasig City.
The Philippines, through the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), in collaboration with the Karate Pilipinas Sports Federation Inc., will host the 22nd Asian Karate Federation Cadets, Juniors and U21 Championships.
It will be participated by 38 countries and about 900 athletes.
“The Asian Karate Federation Championships is a highly-anticipated tournament of Karate in Asia, which aims to bring together the best young Karate athletes from across the region,” President Marcos stated.
“The hosting of said event in the Philippines will not only promote the sport of Karate in the country, but will also serve as an opportunity for training of Filipino athletes,” the Chief Executive added.
President Marcos directed the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) to implement effective measures to inform and encourage the public to support the event.
