INILUNSAD ng Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) ang pinakauna nitong coffee table book na naglalaman ng mga programa at aktibidad ng ahensiya ng gobyerno sa sports kasama ang kuwento ng mga pambansang atleta sa nakalipas na 25 taon kahapon.
Nanguna sa naturang book launching na ginanap sa PSC Athletes Dining Hall si PSC chairman Richie Garcia kasama sina Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose Cojuangco, Tom Carrasco, Julian Camacho, Jeff Tamayo at ang bagong kampeon sa billiards na si Cheska Centeno.
“I have more than a decade to serve as PSC chairman. I have seen countless victories, have read stories of victory and failures, and that I can say makes me proud to be part of the PSC. Very reason to come out with a coffee table book which narrates the glory of Philippine sports,” sabi ni Garcia.
“The book is a biographical account of the agency’s significant milestones in its 25-year role of developing and promoting Philippine sports. Five hundred copies of the book shall be distributed to various national sports associations, government offices, as well as selected school libraries of higher learning institutions.
“The objective of this endeavor is to educate and inspire the Filipino nation and its local sports community. As a visual narrative, it communicates not only PSC’s achievements and programs, but more importantly, the triumph of Philippine sports through the years,” sabi ni Garcia.
Binubuo ang 500 pahina na coffee table book ng mga pinakamatagal at makukulay na litrato sapul na simulan ang ahensiya base sa Republic Act 6847 noong 1990.
