Apayao to host CARAA Meet in April 2024

Apayao, Philippines – The largest gathering of the finest student-athletes from different provinces and cities in the Cordillera region in 2024 will take place in Apayao province.

This comes after Department of Education - Cordillera Regional Director Estela Leon-Cariño approved Governor Elias Bulut Jr.'s request to have Apayao host the 2024 Cordillera Administrative Region Athletic Association (CARAA) Meet in April.

"Our province expresses its earnest intention to host CARAA 2024, the largest and most prestigious sporting event in our region,” read Governor Bulut’s letter, as reported by the Apayao Provincial Information Office.

In response, Director Cariño noted that they will be scheduling a meeting with the governor and the Schools Division Office Apayao to discuss the activity.

Following the initial meeting will be inspections of playing areas, schools, and facilities.

Hosting this year’s CARAA Meet will be the province’s third time, with the first being in 2013 and the next in 2019.

Last year’s regional meet was held in Baguio City.
