“We are happy to finally recognize and pay tribute to remarkable achievements in sports of women and of outstanding initiatives for women in the communities throughout the country,” says PSC Chairman William Ramirez.
He further said, “Through the years, we have witnessed the continuing recognition of excellent performances in elite sports, but none so far yet for those in the grassroots, particularly women. We have Republic Act 10699 (National Athletes and Coaches Benefits and Incentives Act) which provides benefits and incentives for national athletes and those winning in international sports competitions. There is also the Philippine Sports Hall of Fame established through Republic Act No. 8757 which aims to immortalize the Filipino Sports heritage and to honour remarkable performances of Filipino athletes, trainers, and coaches.”
