SEASON VI of Ormoc School Sports Organization (Osso) meet opened last Aug 3 with three new schools joining the league: Macabug Elementary School, Ormoc International Polytechnic Academy and Naval State University (NSU). The event was made more exciting by the presence of new faces.
At least 30 educational institutions participated in the opening ceremonies. Valencia National High School alumnus Regie Ramirez declared the opening of the games. He is the Philippines’ top junior power lifter being an Asian record holder and a silver medalist of the World Junior Powerlifting Championships last year in Saskatchewan, Canada.
City Councilor and Osso Commissioner Ruben R. Capahi opened the program by saying that the league succeeded in its mission of sports development by discovering athletes that put Ormoc on the spotlight. Its success is also made more significant with the inclusion of two schools from outside Ormoc: NSU and Visayas State University of Baybay City.
For this season, basketball will continue to be the flagship sport to be played at the Superdome followed by football. The public will see volleyball action at the plaza quadrangle while chess will be held at the Superdome lobby. Other sports attractions are badminton and taekwondo.
