Manaoag, Pangasinan--The Region 1 1 Athletic Association Meet was formally
opened on February 15, 2015 at the Manaoag National High School oval grounds

Umali - Assistant Secretary for Legal and Legislative Affair, Department of
Education, Local government officials, Officiating officials, athletes and
other guests.
Mayor Amador stated, “ Ang pagbisita sa Manaoag ay isang makasaysayang event in
conjunction with the holding of the Regional 1 Athletic Association a better
way to promote the Proclamation of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church of Manaoag
as “BASILICA MINORE” by the Vatican. This holding of R1AA would not have been
successful without the support of the good Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. in the
preparation of our facilities ng ating bayan na inyo po ngayong pagtitirahan at
paglalaruan, Department of Public Works and Highways, Land Transportation
Office, Philippine National Police –Provincial Command, NGOs and most
especially the DEpEd family’s enthusiasm to hold this event here in Manaoag. We
had prepared a Konzert by a group GLOCK 9 BAND to be held at the town plaza
especially for the athletes on February 16,2015 and a MARIAN CONCERT which was
prepared also by the church. Inaanyayahan po namin kayo sa February 17, 2015
for the formal PROCLAMATION OF OUR LADY OF THE HOLY ROSARYC CHURCH as a “BASILICA
MINORE” which will be attended by several cardinals and the Papal Nuncio of the
Vatican as the representative of Pope Francis. Sa inyo pong lahat ng mga atleta
at bisita,kami po ay nagagalak at pinapanalangin po naming na ang lahat ay
magiging maayos, masaya at ma – accommodate naming kayong lahat.”
Pangasinan II and Urdaneta City Schools Division Superintendent Viraluz S.
Raguindin CESO V remarked, "I realized that in a just short time in the
name of sports I should say everyone can make miracles, this has been
transformed into an ideal venue for our R1AA. That In just a period of four
weeks that was January 5,2015 when we finalized the holding of R1AA in Manaoag
and the schedules of event in different venues. Mayor Kim Mikael Amador gladly
accepted at siya po ang nagpalakas upang tanggapin ng Pangasinan II Schools
Division and hosting ng R1AA ditto sa Manaoag ang malaking tungkulin na yan. At
ang mga manlalaro ang rason ng pagkakaroon ng R1AA. AngPangasinan II Schools
Division, 33 School Districts at mahigit na 500 Elementary Schools at Secondary
Schools, parents and supporters welcomes you in this palaro. For one week we
shall be working together and betting champions to make the Region 1
representatives in the PalarongPambansa. It is an avenue for all manlalaro and
coaches to express and display the prowess so that we can identify the best
athletes for Region 1. We will not only determine who will win but competing.
Let us make R1AA as an avenue for all of us to develop and learn the values of
sportsmanship, humility, integrity and tolerance Na sana pagkatapos ng sports
na ito ay ang mga atleta could get so many experiences and unforgettable
experiences and insights. Sana pagkatapos ng palarong ito mga bata ay mayroon
kayong maiuuwing lot of experiences. And from you will come the crop of Region
1 outstanding and champions in higher level of sports. It may not be able to
give you the best service, the best place but mind you everybody is doing his
best to make your stay here the best.”
Pangasinan Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. in his inspirational message said, “I
thanked the DEPED officials especially Asec. Umalithat supported the changing
of the name of IRAA four years ago para magkaroon naman ng pangalanang 6 school
division ng Pangasinan. AngPangasinan 1, Pangasinan II, Alaminos City School
Division, Dagupan City School Division, San Carlos City School Division at
Urdaneta City School Division.Naatasanakongayon para magbigay ng Inspirasyon at
maganda pa ngayon kasi inspirado pa lahat dahil wala pang natatalo. Sa ano mang
larangan ng paligsahan,ang ating manlalaro, may nagwawagi may natatalo. Ang
importante marami kayong matutunan kasi ang paligsahan o palakasan ay ito po ay
isa sa mga paligsahan sa buhay. If you lose you must learn something, if you
win will also learn something, humility is one pagnanalo tayo. Huwag kayong
umiyak pagnatalo, pag- butihin natin next time. You learn how to be a part of a
team if team play tayo at pag inbidwal ang iyong mga sarili ang iyong maasahan.
You can learn by training in sports.
DepEd Regional 1 Director Teresita M. Velasco introduced Department of
Education Assistant Secretary Tonisito M.C. Umali as the Guest of Honor and
Speaker of R1AA 2015 Meet.
Assistant Secretary Umali in his speech
said,” Pray for 44 seconds for the Fallen 44 SAF members. Sinasabipo ng ating
Secretary Armin Luistro na huwag po tayong magsawang pagusapan ang kabayanihan
ng mga Fallen 44. Sa isangkwento, ang kanyang asawang namatayan at maliit na
anak ay nagsabi sa kanyang Daddy, huwag muna kayong pumunta baka kunin kayo ng
bad guy, ngunit sinabi ng bayaning SAF member ayan kana naman “mommy” hindi mo
pa rin nauunawaan ang aking misyon o tungkulin ng aking trabaho. Inuna po niya
ang tawag ng tungkulin kaysa ang kanyang pamilya. Ang aral po na makukuha ditto
sa kabayanihan ng mga Fallen 44 ay dapat iugnay po natin sa ating tema ng R1AA,
“ Sports Building A Spirit of Discipline, Teamwork and A Culture of
Excellence.”
“Ang hamon ko sa inyo mga bata na panatilihin ang disiplina ,panatilihin maayos
ang mga lugar kung saan tayo pansamatalang nanatili. Kailangan ayusin natin ang
mga silid-aralan. Kung matalo sa unang araw huwag mawalan ng pag-asa sa
pangalawang araw katulad ng ating bansa na nakakaranas ng krisis sa ngayon ay
ma- itutuwid ng ating mga lider sa mga kamalian at isulong ang kapayapaan.“
