The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) stays committed to recognizing outstanding contributions and initiatives related to women and sports development at the grassroots level through Gintong Gawad (GiGa) 2022.
The commission wrapped up this year’s run of Gintong Gawad Awards in a gala awards night held at Subic Travelers Hotel last June 14, 2022, where eight winners and two special citations were conferred.
The highlights of the occasion will be streamed on PSC’s Rise Up! Shape Up! special episode tonight, June 29 at 7 p.m.
PSC Women in Sports overseeing Commissioner Celia Kiram values the support of grassroots communities in helping PSC in its vision of developing sports excellence nationwide and honing homegrown top-performing athletes through various programs of the PSC.
“We at PSC Women in Sports are delighted to receive numerous nominations as it signifies the strong presence of sports development in our local communities and at the grassroots level,” Ms. Kiram said.
“We are humbled by this reminder that Philippine sports need our attention, care and support, not only at the national level, but most significantly at the grassroots as this is where Filipino sports talent and potential national athletes emerge,” the lone lady commissioner of the PSC added.
