THE HOUSE of Representatives is looking at boosting state financial and material support for national athletes by amending a law that gives them incentives, Speaker and Leyte Rep. Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez said on Thursday.
“We will conduct a review of our legislation, among others, Republic Act No. 10699 or the National Athletes and Coaches Benefits and Incentives Act,” he said in a statement in mixed English and Filipino. “We need to amend this law to provide support and aid needed by our athletes.” — Kenneth Christiane L.
