It is our end year evaluation to see our grassroots training works,” said PSL President Susan Papa. Joining Papa in the delegation are Secretary General Maria Susan Benasa, Secretariat Head Guia Llaguno and coaches Alex Papa at Marlon Dula. “I am emphasizing this to share to Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Ricardo Garcia that a competition is not our developmental training program but rather our joining the competition will evaluate whether our training program works,” added Papa.
