GENERAL SANTOS CITY -The Provincial Government of South Cotabato has assured that all athletes representing the province in the Batang Pinoy 2025 national competition are safe, comfortable, and well-supported throughout the duration of the games.

Millan emphasized that Governor Tamayo has given clear instructions to prioritize the welfare and comfort of all athletes throughout the competition.
According to him, the provincial government has gone the extra mile to ensure that every delegate from South Cotabato feels secure, well-fed, and properly accommodated during their stay in General Santos City.
“Governor Tamayo made sure that our athletes are given proper lodging and nutritious meals every day. We even sent personnel to supervise the preparation of their food so that they remain healthy, energized, and ready to perform at their best,” he stressed.
Governor Tamayo, known for his strong advocacy for youth development and sports programs, has long emphasized the importance of investing in young athletes as part of the province’s long-term goal to produce world-class sportsmen.
The Batang Pinoy 2025 officially opened in General Santos City last weekend, drawing hundreds of young athletes from different parts of Philippines.
