ZAMBOANGA CITY -- All is set for the holding of this year’s Zamboanga Peninsula Regional Athletic Association (ZPRAA) meet.
The ZPRAA meet will be held from December 10 to 17 in Pagadian City.
There will be 40 sports events for men and women in the secondary level while 37 in the elementary level.
Councilor Elbert Atilano, chair of the City Council’s committee on sports, said Zamboanga City is sending 864-man delegation consisting of athletes, coaches and officials.
Atilano said the Zamboanga delegation has high hopes to earn medals in Taekwondo, Pengkat Silat, Swimming, Athletics and in some team sports.
“We focus on individual events with the hope to regaining the championship crown,” he added.
Zamboanga City landed 3rd place in elementary and second in the secondary level in the 2016 ZPRAA meet.
“We hope to improve that standing this year since we studied where we failed to excel last year,” Atilano said. (PNA)
