BOHOL — The Provincial Youth Development Office took to the airwaves on July 7, 2026, for a special broadcast of Tingog sa Kabatan‑onan, rallying support for the Third Sandugo National Airsoft Competition. The upcoming tournament places Bohol at the center of the country’s competitive airsoft landscape while advancing youth discipline and sports tourism.
Special Broadcast Builds Anticipation
The one‑hour program aired on KISS 102.3 FM and streamed live via the PYDO Facebook page, drawing listeners eager for tournament details. Featured guests from Crack Legion La Familia Inc. walked the audience through training regimens, safety protocols, and the logistical framework required to host a national‑level event.
Listeners submitted questions through the livestream, asking about registration requirements, equipment limits, and team composition rules. The interactive format transformed the broadcast into a community town hall, energizing local airsoft enthusiasts and attracting interest from teams outside the province.
Crack Legion Shares the Rigors of Preparation
Crack Legion La Familia Inc., the lead organizer, detailed the extensive groundwork behind the two‑day competition. Certified range officers are being trained to enforce standardized rules, while the playing field undergoes specialized marshalling layouts to guarantee fair play and safe engagement distances.
The group emphasized that hosting a national tournament demands more than physical infrastructure. Coordinating delegations, verifying gear compliance, and designing competitive scenarios require months of planning. Their transparency gave aspiring participants a clear roadmap and built confidence in the event’s professionalism.
Discipline and Strategy Anchor the Sport
Beyond trigger pulls, competitive airsoft demands rapid decision‑making and strict adherence to safety guidelines. The broadcast highlighted how the tournament fosters discipline, teamwork, and strategic thinking among young participants, values that extend well beyond the playing field.
Organizers noted that the sport channels youthful energy into structured, goal‑oriented activity. Players learn to communicate under pressure, respect chain of command, and analyze dynamic situations. These skills mirror real‑world competencies that employers and educators value, giving the competition a developmental dimension.
Sports Tourism Delivers Economic Returns
The Sandugo National Airsoft Competition is expected to draw teams, technical crews, and supporters from across the Philippines, boosting hotel occupancy, restaurant sales, and transport services. PYDO officials framed the tournament as a strategic vehicle for sports tourism that aligns with Bohol’s broader visitor economy.
Every incoming delegation represents spending on accommodations, meals, and local attractions. The event extends the tourism calendar beyond traditional peak seasons and diversifies Bohol’s image from a beach destination to a dynamic sporting hub.
BIT Grounds Ready for National Action
The Bohol Institute of Technology Grounds in Barangay Dao will host the August 15–16 tournament. The venue is being configured to accommodate multiple simultaneous matches while maintaining strict safety perimeters. Spectator areas will allow fans to watch tactical maneuvers up close.
The PYDO and Crack Legion assured the public that all necessary permits and medical support teams are in place. With the promotional broadcast concluded, focus now shifts to final preparations and welcoming the nation’s top airsoft teams to Tagbilaran City.
