The 2026 PISKAY โ Davao del Sur Division Athletic Association (DavSurDAA) Meet officially opened on September 3, bringing together young athletes from the nine municipalities of Davao del Sur in a province-wide celebration of sportsmanship, talent, and athletic excellence.
Hosted by the Municipality of Malalag under the leadership of Municipal Mayor Maria Zorahayda T. Valentin, the opening ceremonies gathered athletes, coaches, school officials, provincial and municipal local government officials, and other stakeholders in support of the divisionโs premier athletic competition.
The opening was also highlighted by the presence of Coach Jess Linus Evangelio, Off-Campus Coach of Ateneo de Davao University, who served as guest speaker and shared his experiences in coaching and developing young athletes.
Coach Jess inspired the athletes by emphasizing that success in sports goes beyond medals, trophies, and victories. For him, the true measure of a coachโs success is seeing athletes transform their lives through sports and use their experiences to pursue their dreams.
Meanwhile, Mayor Valentin acknowledged the challenge of preparing for the DavSurDAA Meet, recognizing its importance as one of the provinceโs prestigious sporting events. She expressed appreciation to the athletes, coaches, organizers, and stakeholders whose collective efforts made the opening and the entire competition possible.
Adding color and excitement to the ceremonies were performances by Jecel Divinagracia Taray, who rendered the popular โPanawagtawag Tu Yuta,โ also known as the Palaro tu Agsur song, and Maan Chua, the โQueen of Festival Songs,โ who entertained the crowd with her musical performances.
The 2026 DavSurDAA Meet runs from September 3 to 7, with competitions being held at various venues throughout the Municipality of Malalag. The event brings together the provinceโs young athletes in pursuit of excellence while fostering discipline, camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the values gained through meaningful participation in school sports.
Through PISKAY, Davao del Sur continues to provide a platform for young athletes to showcase their talents, build character, and take meaningful steps toward achieving their sporting aspirations.
