The discovery of talent and the nurturing of promising athletes has been dedicated to a large part of the life of Edward Hayco, who was named a few weeks ago as one of the Commissioners of the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC).
Hayco can carry out his passion with success for almost forty years, and has helped Cebu become the Mecca of dancesport that produced the finest national athletes in the sport.
“Grassroots sports is my ikigai or my life’s goal, it’s where my heart is,” said Hayco, former chairman of the Cebu City Sports Commission for 12 years who implemented grassroots development programs in the southern queen city.
In his new role as PSC Commissioner, Hayco will bring a wealth of experience in root development at the national level after setting up a lasting template that continues to benefit from the Cebu City Sports Commission’s development program involving 25 sports.
Hayco’s track record could come in handy as the PSC tries to help unearth talent from projects like the Batang Pinoy Games, a meet for athletes aged 15 and under where the country’s first Olympic gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz-Naranjo and world champion gymnast Carlos. Yulo, started his career.
Meanwhile, Philippine Olympic Committee president Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino and Chairman of the PSC Richard Bachmann vowed to join hands in the Paris 2024 journey when they completed the first productive meeting on Friday night at the China Blue restaurant at the Conrad Hotel. INQ
