Congratulations to all the athletes and coaches who emerged as champions in the 2023 Davao Regional Athletic Association Meet with 174 Golds, 109 Silvers and 82 Bronze. Indeed, we are strong and unbeatable!

I am overwhelmed and delighted with your extraordinary strength, endurance and stamina in the last 5 days.

Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to your sport have paid off, and you should be proud of your accomplishments. You have set an excellent example for your peers and demonstrated that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible.

Your success is not only a reflection of your individual skills, but also a testament to the support you have received from your coaches, teammates, family, and friends. You have inspired and motivated others to pursue their passions and strive for excellence in their own endeavors.

As you celebrate your victories, remember to stay humble, continue to work hard for the next battles, and never give up on your dreams. You are all champions, and I have no doubt that you will continue to achieve great things in the future. Once again, congratulations on your outstanding performance, and best of luck in your future endeavors!

To all the athletes who did not make it this DAVRAA Meet 2023, I want to remind you that you are all winners in your own right. Your participation in the event and dedication to your sport is already an achievement. Use this experience as a motivation to work harder, improve your skills, and strive for your goals. Keep in mind that success is not just about winning, but also about learning from your mistakes and growing as an individual.

Continue to pursue your passions, push yourself out of your comfort zone, and never give up on your dreams. Believe in yourself, the power of your dreams, and your abilities. Always remember that anything is possible with perseverance, hard work, and a positive attitude.
