Weightlifting included in Palaro

Hidilyn Diaz worked hard to have her sport weightlifting finally included at the Palarong Pambansa sports lineup.

Diaz, who talked about the inclusion of weightlifting in Palaro with the media on Sunday, May 25, is set to oversee the maiden weightlifting competition in the 65th Palaro edition in Ilocos Norte as a tournament director.

Weightlifters will see action on May 26 for secondary student-athletes at the Laoag Central Elementary School.
