Paralympics 2017

Last May 18, 2017, five competing teams fought in the first ever Paralympics that was held at the Alonte Sports Arena and Biñan Football Stadium. It was made possible under the sponsorship of Isuzu, Globe,Laguna Waters, Pavilion, SM City Sta. Rosa, and Handyman. PWDs broke the stereotypes given to them as they took on different activities such as Tug of War, Baton Relay, Obstacle, Basketball, Individual Blind Marathon, Wheelchair Bike Marathon, Standard Wheelchair Marathon and Rough Rider Marathon. Mayor Arman Dimaguila and Ms. Lourdes Dimaguila also engaged themselves in some of the games to show their support. Mayor Arman stated that he will make the Paralympics to be a regular program (twice a year). “Your ability is stronger than your disability.” -Anonymousmore photos
