Other engagements include the SK Desk, SK Watch and the SK capacity building. PSC Commissioner Gomez raised that the NYC activities did not mention about sports program. He added that the NYC can develop policies on sports which address both the inschool and OSY, and games at the SK level. He suggested that a NYC Commissioner be delegated as a representative to the PSC to be a part of the activities of the sports commission. He added that DILG and NYC could be cooperating partners and set aside time for LGUs for sports facilities to be used by young people (4-6pm). He asked if RDC could provide data on sports, and further inquired how sports could be a part of the culture of the Filipino. Chairman Flores informed the Body that there are programs on sports development that have been recommended by different stakeholders during the implementation of the joint program of the NYC and Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) Nationwide Drug Abuse Caravan. Asst. Director Trovela of DILG suggested to revive and strengthen the memorandum regarding the creation of a sports development council. 3
