Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan personally congratulated the medalists during the awarding ceremony, praising them for bringing honor to the city.
According to the city’s Public Information Office, Batang Pinoy is an annual multi-sport competition for athletes aged 15 and below, including out-of-school youth and participants from marginalized communities, aimed at providing young talents with an opportunity to compete and develop their skills.
The medalists received the city’s standard incentives of P10,000 for gold, P7,000 for silver, and P5,000 for bronze medalists, along with additional cash support from Mayor Malapitan.
“Congratulations po sa ating mga atletang Batang Kankaloo. Hindi lang personal na karangalan ang inyong naiuwi dahil buong Caloocan ang dala-dala ninyo sa inyong bawat panalo (Congratulations to our Batang Kankaloo athletes. You didn’t just bring home personal honors—you carried the pride of the entire city with every victory),” he said.
The mayor also assured the athletes that the city government will continue to support sports development programs that give young Caloocanons more opportunities to train and showcase their talents.
“Asahan ninyo na buo ang suporta ng pamahalaang lungsod sa ilalim ng ating administrasyon sa larangan ng palakasan at maging sa iba pang gawain na magbibigay ng oportunidad sa mga Batang Kankaloo na paghusayin ang kanilang mga talento (You can count on the full support of the city government under our administration, not only in sports but in all programs that provide opportunities for Batang Kankaloo to hone their talents),” Malapitan said.
