President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday expressed his administration’s full support to the Filipino shooters competing in the 2022 International Practical Shooting Confederation Handgun World Shoot XIX in Thailand.
“I wish to express my full and continuing support to the association for such good advocacies you promote in our local and international sports scene,” Marcos said.

The Chief Executive, in response, assured them to address the issues they have raised during the meeting.
