Bidding[edit]
Two provinces remained after Negros Occidental, Cebu and Iloilo backed-out of the bid to host the annual multi-sports event in 2017 due to budget difficulties, San Jose de Buenavista, Antique and Dumaguete showed interest in hosting the event and officially submitted their respective bids to the Palarong Pambansa bids and selection committee. On November 18, 2016, the Palarong Pambansa Selection Committee voted to choose the official host of the next Palarong Pambansa. San Jose de Buenavista, Antique won with 5 votes against 4 for Dumaguete and was officially declared the host of Palarong Pambansa 2017.[4]
Plan for the games[edit]
Antique's bid includes plans to renovate and upgrade the rubberized track oval and other facilities inside the Binirayan Sports Complex in San Jose de Buenavista, which will be the main venue of the games. Several indoor sporting events will be held at the University of Antique in the town of Sibalom, St. Anthony's College in San Jose de Buenavista, and other covered courts located within the 40-kilometer radius around the capital town.
The province of Antique was awarded the rights to host the games by the DepEd Palarong Pambansa Selection Committee after it outbid Dumaguete, Negros Oriental by a single vote.[5]
The Games was originally scheduled to be held from April 10 to 16, 2017[6] but was moved to April 23 to 29, 2017 due to the original schedule coinciding with Holy Week observances.[5] This would be the first time for Antique to host the event.
