“It is with great honor that Loon has been given the opportunity to host the Boholympics swimming contest. For that, we are thankful, and we hope this day be a good and peaceful one.”
This were the words of Senior Executive Assistant Lloyd Peter M. Lopez in his welcome address during the opening of Boholympics swimming competition at Tubig-Loon Spring Park, August 23, Saturday.
Loon has been deemed fit to host such an event as it’s Tubig-Loon Spring Park boasts an Olympic-size swimming pool, catering the towns of Dimiao, Jagna, Dagohoy, Maribojoc, Tubigon, Ubay, Clarin, Valencia, Dauis, Candijay, and Inabangga during the said contest.
“More than just the discovery of Boholano talents, this sport we host also engages the youth in recreational activities and responsibilities that will keep them from vices and drugs.”, SEA Lopez further remarked.
