LEGZPI CITY, Oct. 30 (PIA) -- Albay won the bid to host the Palarong Pambansa 2016 after careful deliberation and tedious evaluation by officials of the Department of Education (DepEd) and Philippine Sports Commission (PSC).

We went through billeting, facilities, your presentations, including readiness of our regions, as well as other considerations that are specific to 2016. Ang nanalo po with a very, very slim margin is Albay” Luistro declared.
Before the bidding and official presentations of the two provinces, DepEd and PSC technical officials inspected each venue last June to see if the facilities and billeting areas are adequate.
PSC Commissioner Jose Luis Gomez meanwhile presented to the body the rating system used which included international standards, distance from the main complex, power supply, and security, among others.
DepEd’s Schools Sports Events and Activities Unit head Cesar Abalon reported on the status of the billeting areas, which are evaluated based on the sufficiency of rooms, bathrooms, kitchen areas and medical provisions.
