MANILA, Philippines-Slots for the national team are at stake in the Philippine Table Tennis Federation Inc. (PTTF) National Selection from February 22 to 26 at the Puerto Princesa Sports Complex.
About 80 participants in the men’s and women’s divisions will see action as they compete for a chance to be part of the Philippine team at the 32nd Asian Games in Cambodia in May.
Hosted by Puerto Princesa City, the competition is part of the local government’s plan to make the city a table tennis hub in the future.
“The best players from all countries will battle it out in Puerto Princesa to determine who will represent the country at the 2023 Asian Games,” said PTTF president Ting Ledesma.
“We thank the people of Puerto Princesa especially Mayor Bayron for their support. We plan to make Puerto Princesa the center of table tennis in the country.
Among the PTTF’s plans is to hold a deliberate competition in Puerto Princesa after the national selection tournament.
“Puerto Princesa will witness something special,” PTTF secretary general Pong Ducanes said.
The matches for the national selection tournament will be streamed on PTTF’s official Facebook account. Celeste Flores-Hill
