The Goducate Training Center (GTC) in Iloilo, Philippines, together with the municipality of San Miguel, hosted the badminton tournament of the 2nd Congressional District Sports Association (CDSA) Meet 2015 last month. It was the first time that GTC has hosted the event.
Eight municipalities from Iloilo province and the host municipality of San Miguel participated in this Department of Education sponsored sports league. The aim of the CDSA sports and cultural competitions is to uncover talents, skills, and potentials of elementary and secondary school students. These competitions are also intended to foster the true spirit of sportsmanship and unity among the participants.
GTC’s multipurpose sports hall accommodated some 300 individuals, from the organizers, athletes, coaches, teachers to parents and supporters, during those two days. This hall is much used throughout the year for various sports activities, such as badminton, volleyball, basketball and many others, as part of GTC’s community work to train youth in qualities such as discipline, sportsmanship, team work, and leadership. Thus hosting the CDSA meet was very much in keeping with GTC’s community work.
