Members of the national team will be receiving a cash gift of P10,000 pesos each as the Philippine Sports Commission prepares to release the said financial bonus this week.
PSC Chairman William Ramirez and PSC Commissioners Mon Fernandez, Celia Kiram, Charles Maxey and Arnold Agustin approved the Christmas monetary gift in their last board meeting despite challenges in the sports agency’s resources.

“Whatever hinders the income of our benefactors, hinders our cash flow too. However, the holidays will come nevertheless, and we wish for our athletes and coaches to be able to celebrate well with family too,” explained Ramirez, adding that this Christmas gift is on top of their monthly allowances.

Despite the many challenges this year, especially for those hit by Typhoon Odette last week, the sports chief wishes our athletes to have a meaningful observance of the holidays with their families.
