(HEAD TOPICS) Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada sought to give equal cash incentives for national athletes with and without disabilities.
In contrast, Paralympians who secure first, second, or third place on the world stage are entitled to only half of the cash incentives given to their Olympic counterparts. By introducing amendments to the provisions of RA 10699, Estrada’s SB 1442 seeks to remedy the discrepancy of financial benefits among national athletes who demonstrate the same level of commitment, hard work, and excellence in sports.
