MANILA, Philippines – A bill on the protection of student-athletes during and in preparation for competitions was filed in the Senate on Tuesday.
Sen. JV Ejercito filed Senate Bill No. 2269, or the “Student-Athletes Comprehensive Protection Act of 2026″, which seeks amendments to expand Republic Act No. 10676, or the Student-Athletes Protection Act.
