SULU (Mindanao Examiner / May 13, 2014) – Sulu Governor Totoh Tan has donated Tuesday various medals and trophies to the Philippine Marines in support to the military’s sports development program in the southern province.
Tan, also a sportsman himself, has been actively promoting sports among the youth in the province just as his father – former Governor Sakur Tan – did during his administration.
He handed over the donation to the soldiers of the Marine Battalion Landing Team-6 (MBLT-6) at the Provincial Capitol. The marines are stationed in the village of Buhanginan in the town of Patikul where they launched the sports program for the youth.
The MBLT-6 also launched the 3rd Patikul Inter-Barangays Basketball League 2014 which is aimed at fostering camaraderie and teamwork among villagers and promotes the values of sportsmanship.
The military praised Tan for his support to the endeavor of the marines in Patikul. (Franzie Sali)
