ODIONGAN, Romblon (PIA) — The Sangguniang Kabataan of Odiongan supports the plan of their youths to participate in the first E-Palarong Pambansa, a national esports tournament supported by the National Youth Commission.
In Odiongan, May 13 to 14 is the target for the qualifying round of the “Mobile Legends: Bang Bang game,” where the organizers will choose who will compete in the regional leg of the competition.
In an interview, Odiongan SK Federation president Engr. Mike Foja said that this competition proves that playing online games is not just for entertainment.
“Mahalaga ito para ang mga kabataan ay madevelop nila ang kanilang skills at talento gaya sa ibang sports. At mabigyan rin ng opportunity ang ibang kabataan na hindi makapaglaro ng contact sports,” said Foja.
“Ito ang perpektong laro para sa kanila, na maipakita nila ang kanilang husay at pagiging mapagkumpitensya pagdating sa Sports. Ang pagkakaroon natin ng ganitong programa ay magandang bagay ito para sa lahat ng manlalaro lalo na sa ating bayan dahil mararamdaman nilang tanggap at kinikilala na ang E-Sports,” he added.
In June, the regional leg competition will commence, which will be followed by the group stage until the playoffs. (PJF/PIA Romblon/Photo Courtesy: Vivo Philippines
