Inilunsad ng Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) ang kauna-unahang coffee-table book na naglalaman ng mga isinulong na programa at aktibidad ng ahensiya gayundin ang kaganapan sa Philippine Sports sa nakalipas na 25 taon.

Mismong si PSC Chairman Richie Garcia kasama sina Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Jose Cojuangco, Tom Carrasco, Julian Camacho at Jeff Tamayo at ang bagong kampeon sa billiards na si Cheska Centeno ang ilan sa mga saksi sa paglulunsad ng naturang libro.

“I have more than a decade serving the PSC. I have seen countless victories, have read stories of victors and failures, and that I can say I’m proud to be part of the agency. This coffee table book narrates the glory of Philippine sports,” sabi ni Garcia.

“The book is a biographical account of the agency’s significant milestones in its 25-year role of developing and promoting Philippine Sports. Five hundred copies of the book shall be distributed to various national sports associations (NSA’s), government offices, as well as selected school libraries of higher learning institutions.

“The objective of this endeavor is to educate and inspire the Filipino nation and its local sports community. As a visual narrative, it communicates not only PSC’s achievements and programs, but more importantly, the triumph of Philippine sports through the years,” ayon kay Garcia.
