Pasig City received a significant upgrade today, marking a crucial step in its youth development program. The city was officially handed 50 pieces of new sports equipment—specifically 25 futsal balls and 25 lightweight volleyballs—designed for use by young and grassroots athletes. 

This injection of resources is set to give Pasig an even stronger foundation in two of the country's most popular sports.

The equipment was formally presented to Mayor Vico Sotto and Vice Mayor Dodot Jaworski by key national sports figures: Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Pató Gregorio and Philippine Football Federation President John Gutierrez. 

The handover took place at a particularly pivotal time for the city, which is currently serving as a proud host of the inaugural FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup at the iconic PhilSports Arena.

This major boost underscores Pasig's growing reputation as a powerhouse in Philippine sports. The local government’s commitment to athletic development has already yielded impressive results, including the recent accomplishment of clinching back-to-back championships at the prestigious Batang Pinoy national games. 

The new balls will immediately fuel the momentum of the city's successful programs.
