Palaro delegates to enjoy Kabilin tour | The Freeman

CEBU, Philippines — Delegates and visitors of the upcoming Palarong Pambansa 2024 will not only enjoy sports activities, but a full cultural immersion through a hop-on, hop-off tour around Cebu City.

In the program released by organizers, Palarong Pambansa delegates and guests, who will be here in Cebu for the event on July 9-16 will get to enjoy two separate dates of going around the city.

On July 12, the tour will bring the visiting delegates to different heritage structures of downtown Cebu, which is considered Cebu’s Heritage District.

Just before the closing ceremony for the Palaro, there will be another “Adlaw sa Kabilin” for the delegates on July 16 that will be dedicated for museums and galleries.

Palarong Pambansa organizers, meanwhile, have disclosed a few changes in sporting venues as a result of the recent final technical conference.

Lapu-Lapu City, which was supposed to host the elementary boys’ 5x5 games, will instead be hosting all 3x3 games in basketball, specifically at the Hoops Dome.

Further, the elementary boy’s division will instead be playing at the University of the Visayas (UV) Main Campus in Colon Street and the Cebu Eastern College has been taken out as a venue.

The gymnastics’ aero event will then be moved to SM Seaside instead of UV.

For football, all elementary boys’ action will be held at Don Bosco Technical College in Punta Princesa, while some games of the secondary division will be at the Borromeo-Dynamic Herb Complex in Inayawan, Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu in Mandaue, and the Cebu City Sports Center. There will be no more games at the University of San Carlos-Talamban.

USC Talamban will instead host some of the softball games, as well as in SM Seaside lot 11.

Pencak silat will be at Robinsons Galleria instead of UC METC and for tennis, Alta Vista will be for secondary boys instead of the elementary girls, while the secondary girls will remain at Asmara in Banilad. The elementary girls will play at the CitiGreen in Punta Princesa, while their male counterparts will be at Villa Aurora.

Despite not reaching its target date to complement the Palarong Pambansa hosting, the Cebu City Government will still wait for the final
