00:00Let's go to the world of sports.

00:02The Philippine Masters International Athletics Championships

00:05will be held tomorrow,

00:07where not only the young athletes will compete,

00:11but also the old ones.

00:14Paolo Salamatin of PTV Sports in the center of the news.

00:20The officials of the Philippine Masters Games Association

00:23are excited about the opening of the competitions of the old Filipinos this year,

00:27where the Philippine Masters International Athletics Championships

00:31will be held from the 8th to the 10th of November

00:34at the Field Sports Track and Field Oval in Pasig City.

00:37Almost 500 athletes aged 35 years old to 100 years old

00:42will compete in more than 1,000 events

00:45prepared by the National Masters and Senior Athletics Association of the Philippines or NAMSAP.

00:50PMGA President Alberto Agra shared the reason

00:54why they came up with the idea of creating games for the old.

00:59Please, let's not forget the seniors.

01:02That's why we did this,

01:04because I think what we're doing is not enough for the old Filipinos.

01:10So, with everybody's help and participation,

01:13we will do more and a lot better next year.

01:17If there are national games and young Filipinos,

01:20there are also old Filipinos

01:22where this will provide an opportunity for the old or retired athletes

01:27to continue their passion for sports despite their age.

01:32When others saw that they were excited,

01:35they entered the Oval and followed us.

01:39And you can see in the video that the Oval was full.

01:43They were so happy, they fought in the airtime.

01:47When you saw that introduction,

01:50you were encouraged and inspired to participate.

01:55You know, my question is,

01:58Ma'am, when will you follow me?

02:01NAMSAP Director Judith Staples added,

02:04creating this kind of event is a big deal for the oldies,

02:08not only for the experience,

02:10but also for the enthusiasm of more senior athletes

02:14and to be a part of their future competitions.

02:17Almost a week, all of them posted,

02:20captured the beautiful, fun and memorable moments of the athletes

02:25that they can post on their Facebook, on their IG.

02:28So, that's the additional way of us sharing

02:32how fun it is to be doing this kind of activity even at our age.

02:37Aside from spreading the competition throughout the country,

02:41PSA Commissioner Olivia Boncu announced

02:44that there will be an Old Filipino Festival next year.
