10th ASEAN Para Games in Philippines January 2020

Lately, I've been blogging about the pinnacle of main event like World Cup, F1 and Fighting. Its good to see the Philippines will host another international sporting main event in January. The 2020 10th ASEAN Para Games. Attended by heads of National Paralympic Committees from 11 countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos, Cambodia, Timor Leste and our Country. 

Andrew Parson - President of the International Paralympic Committee is here to help promote the Philippine Paralympic movement. To enable para athletes to sporting excellence. Its kinda exciting because the 30th SEA games will be in Philippines as well in December next year. The 9th APG held in Malaysia last year composed of 16 sports now they are considering 22. 

These were Chess, Boccia, Cerebral Palsy Football, Football 5 A side, Para Archery, Goal-ball, Athletics, Badminton, Cycling, Power-lifting, Table Tennis, Sitting Volleyball, Tenpin Bowling, Wheelchair Basketball and Tennis. Physical disability? No problem because your intellectual, physical and visual disability will not be a hindrance to achieve your dream of becoming a champion.    

Michael Barredo - Philippine Paralympic Committee President said that Parson's presence here will boost the efforts for the upcoming Para Games. This is the 2nd time that Philippines is hosting ASEAN Para games since 2005. DFA Secretary Alan Cayetano is organizing chairman announced this games will be held in Manila, Clark and Subic. 

Where the 20k seat stadium is rising and its aquatic center also meets Olympic standards. This would be a great regional and world qualifying in Asian, Winter and World Para Games in Korea, Tokyo, China, USA, France and Nagoya from 2018 to 2026. Last year in Malaysia - team Philippines bagged 20 gold, 20 silver and 29 bronze.  

We cant just totally rely on government. Mike encouraged individual donors to support the athletes "Alay Para Atleta" by texting ALAYPARA<amount> to 3456 for all major cell networks example ALAYPARA20. You may donate from 10-500 peso. The fund will proceed to hire more people and professionals to help these Pinoy disable athletes. To do more, bag more golds to the regional and world level.
