00:00Nais palawakin ng Department of Tourism at Run Rio ang Sports Tourism sa Bansa
00:04sa pamamagitan ng Marathon Races na idinarao sa susunod na taon.
00:09May ulat sa teammate Bernadette Tinoy.
00:13Pinagtibay ng Department of Tourism o DOT at Run Rio
00:16ang kanilang unayan para mapalawak at mapalakas ang Sports Tourism sa Bansa
00:21sa pamamagitan ng pagtakbo.
00:24Ayon kay DOT Golf Tourism and Special Projects Director Nile Fernando Uy,
00:28maraming Pilipino at international runners ang naman na hoax sa mga race events
00:33kaya malaking pagkakataon ito upang napakita ang ganda ng bansa.
00:37Ito rin ay matapos sa pakilala ng Run Rio at Sing Life Philippines
00:40ang Sing Life Philippine Marathon Majors na gaganapin sa Iloilo, Cebu, Davao, Juan Clark at Cagayan de Oro sa susunod na taon.
00:50The Department of Tourism has been tasked by our president to focus on sports tourism.
00:58Sports Tourism is another product that our country actually has passed
01:05and we are trying to develop it further.
01:08Through the initiatives of groups like Run Rio,
01:12we are able to take a big step forward in promoting our country.
01:18As like what you've heard kanina from Coach Rio,
01:21they are doing multiple events across the country
01:25and through those events,
01:27we are promoting both domestic tourism and international tourism.
01:33So hopefully, you know, we get more athletes,
01:37more people to actually join these events
01:39so that they can appreciate and experience our country more.
01:43Positivo naman si Run Rio, CEO Rio de la Cruz,
01:47na mag-e-enjoy yung mga kalahok
01:49dahil bukod sa mga magagandang tanawin na hatid ng Philippine Marathon Majors,
01:53makopromote pa ang healthy lifestyle.
01:56We really want to uplift the standard of running in the Philippines.
02:00I know hindi ko kaya yan mag-isa.
02:01So that's why we really need the help and support ng government natin,
02:08national and local LGU natin,
02:12and of course yung mga runners natin.
02:13Sali sila sa mga races natin,
02:16and magbigay sila ng feedback,
02:18positive and negative,
02:19we really accept it.
02:21Walang no heart feelings.
02:23Bagdag pa ni Rio na malaking pagkakataon ng marathon races
02:27para sa mga nagnanais mapabilang sa national team
02:30dahil sanksyon ng programa ng World Athletics
02:33at Fulpin Athletics Track and Field Association ng Patapa.
02:36For example, if yung runner tumakbo dito
02:40and may potential na medyo na-reach niya yung standard ng national team,
02:44so si Patapa, i-identify niya.
02:46So pwedeng i-recommend ng coach yun
02:48since itong race na to ay certified siya.

02:54para sa Bagong Pilipinas.
