To give the athletes and their team the support they need, the Schools Division of the City held a Send Off MAss and Program last February 11, 2016. This was attended by more or less 650 delegation officials, coaches, chaperons, parents and athletes at the Davao City National High School.

Ms. Luna stressing the very essence of the Meet said that it is not merely the opportunities of the athletes to showcase their abilities nor simply a venue for sports development among participating athletes but more into the renewal and strengthening of close ties among the Davaoeños in the region. Overall, this breeds peace, friendship and unity through sports which also brings pride and honor to represent our beloved City. Ms. Luna assured the athletes and the whole sports community that the support of the local government will always be available for them.
Fun Fact:
The early Olympic Games were celebrated as a religious festival from 776 B.C. until 393 A.D., when the games were banned for being a pagan festival (the Olympics celebrated the Greek god Zeus). In 1894, a French educator Baron Pierre de Coubertin, proposed a revival of the ancient tradition, and thus the modern-day Olympic Summer Games were born.
