Dumaguete City Welcomes Delegates to CVIRAA 2012

Welcome to Negros Occidental

MESSAGE FROM THE SDS (Schools Division Superintendent) OF NEGROS ORIENTAL

(From Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association Page)

Dayon  kamo sa Negros Oriental!

The province and the division of Negros Oriental are glad to host this year’s Central Visayas Athletic Association Meet. Our theme, CVIRAA: “Nurturing lives, Strengthening ties” is the province’s goal during this week-long event. Ang atong gobyerno nangandoy nga mapalambo ang atong pagpa-ugnat sa kusog aron ugma damlag ang atong mga kabataan, ang atong mga tinun-an makabaton sa self-discipline, teamwork, and excellence for the development of a healthy and alert citizenry. It is through sports that as we learn the skill in kicking, spiking, throwing, we also develop analytical and critical thinking skills.

And Negros Oriental is privileged that part of the development of the potentials of our athletes happened here in our province. Sa inyong pagdula pangandoy namo nga malipay kamo sa mga pahiyom ug maayong pagtagad sa Oriental Negrenses. Being Filipinos, the warmth of our hospitality is deeply rooted in our nature. Apan...kung kamo madani sa matam-is nga pahiyom mas mulambo gayod ang atong mga koneksyon.

Through our games we all want you to develop lasting friendships and more ties across the region. Mas daghang higala, mas daghay katawa, daghang kalipay.

Busa, kaninyong tanan, dayon sa Negros Oriental, and experience camaraderie, service, and friendly competitions as you also take time to visit our historic and beautiful places. We are not here to simply compete in the games but we are here to learn more about making connections, learning new skills, and discovering our culture.

 

Welcome and we wish you luck in all the games. Bring home medals and trophies, but best of all bring home more smiles and friendship.

Finally, “Athlete ka ba?” [Bakit?] “kasi ang taas ng score mo sa puso ko eh.’

Let connections spark as the games begin.
