Itbayat holds first ever Youth Sportsfest

ITBAYAT, BATANES (PIA) -- The Provincial Government of Batanes (PGB), conducted its first ever Youth Sportsfest in the island municipality of Itbayat on October 1 to 2, 2022,  which aims to promote active involvement of the youth, strengthen their camaraderie, and prevent them from engaging in illegal activities.

The activity was spearheaded by PGB's Local Youth Development Office, headed by Godwin Xavier Nunez and the Sangguniang Kabataan Provincial Federation lead by President Norman James Enego. The event was in partnership with the Local Government of Itbayat.

According to Provincial Information Officer Justinne Socito, the PGB is originally set to hold a province-wide youth sportsfest, however, since Itbayat is having difficulty in sending delegations due to lack of funds, the PGB decided to hold a seperate activity for the youth of the island town .

Menwhile, on October 3, 2022, aside from the culmination activity for the sportsfest, the first ever Youth Summit was also held in the island municipality's covered court. (CEB/PIA Batanes)

The said youth summit was held at the Itbayat covered court.
