BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENTS HEAT UP 1OTH SEASON OF THE MUNICIPAL OLYMPICS

Manolo Fortich Municipal Olympics Season 10

The Manolo Fortich Sports Division, led by Sports Coordinator Jay Alquisar, spearheaded the official opening program of the 10th Season of the Municipal Olympics held at the Municipal Gymnasium on May 16, 2025. With talented and promising athletes from the 22 barangays of the municipality competing across various age brackets and categories, this year’s Municipal Olympics aims to promote health, fitness, and community engagement among Manoleños.

During the opening ceremony, Vice Mayor Reynaldo Bagayas Jr. addressed the athletes with enthusiasm, emphasizing the vital role of sports in enhancing the physical and mental well-being of Manoleños, especially the youth. “Ang sports usa ka solusyon para mahimong himsog ang atong mga katawhan. Healthy living—himsog basta buhaton nato ang physical activity nga gi-introduce nato pinaagi sa Sports-for-All program, nga at least 15 minutes a day aduna kitay physical activity,” said Vice Mayor Bagayas.

He was joined by members of the Sangguniang Bayan, including Coun. Rina E. Quiño, Coun. Joy L. Cordovez, Coun. Raquel Abales, and Coun. Elzevir A. Dagunlay; Indigenous People’s Mandatory Representative (IPMR) Datu Alex D. Payangga; ABC President Mary Jane P. Guilayan; SK Federation President Princes CJ B. Padin; and former SK Federation President Lennox J B. Tabaco.

Also present was Vice Governor Clive D. Quiño, who expressed his support and pride in the Sports-for-All program. “Ang kaning atong Sports-for-All gi-appreciate gyud sa atong mga kabatan-unan sa tibuok Bukidnon. Makaingon sila nga unta naay susama nga sustainable program sa ilang mga lungsod ug munisipyo. It is one of the longest-running sports programs in the Province of Bukidnon,” said Vice Governor Quiño.

He officially opened the tournament and wished all players a fair and spirited competition. Sixteen-year-old basketball player Jereu Calvo from Barangay Tankulan expressed his gratitude for the opportunity. “Thankful kaayo ko ani nga opportunity kay gi-tagaan mi’g chance nga mag-improve sa among pagdula. Thankful sad kaayo ko kang Mayor Quiño kay nagpasiugda siya ani. Daghan gyud siya matabangan nga mga bata tungod ani nga sports event,” said Calvo.

Now in its tenth season, the Municipal Olympics continues to strengthen community bonds while promoting a culture of athleticism and excellence among Manoleños. In the days following the opening, basketball and volleyball games brought out the competitive spirit of each barangay.
