    THE Philippine Sports Commission is launching Project: Gintong Laban, a modified version of Project: Gintong Alay from the Ferdinand Marcos Sr. administration, for elite athletes.

    PSC chairman Noli Eala said that unlike the Gintong Alay where a godfather system used, the funds collected in the Gintong Laban project will be placed on the entire program with the best athletes serving as the beneficiary.

    Meanwhile, the new PSC grassroots program is named Duyan ng Magiting.

    “We are going to tweak Project Gintong Alay where we take care of elite athletes and prepare them for the highest level of competition by raising enough funds for these athletes and at the same time, building infrastructure, giving them equipment, support, and competent medical assessment, sports sciences to be part of all the athletes.”

    “Noong araw kasi, godfather system. There were godfathers assigned to a sport. This time around, it’s very difficult to do that because maraming NSA, maraming sports. We are not necessarily looking at one godfather per sport. We are asking private sector to help the program of Project Gintong Laban,” Eala said.
