LINGAYEN, Pangasinan—It was sweet victory for athletes who competed in the annual Palarong Pambansa special games.
For the 320 or so persons with disabilities (PWDs), taking part in the Palaro meant being able to show the world that PWD athletes could be as competitive as anyone else, and that they need not be sidelined because of their disabilities.
PWD athletes aged 10 to 33 battled it out in the special games category of the fifth Palarong Pambansa from May 6 to 10. The rest of the games end on May 12.
