Kinilala na kamakailan ng Philippine Olympic Committee ang Philippine Pole and Aerial Sports Association na itinatag ni Ciara Sotto at plano niyang ikutin ang bansa para maghanap ng pole and aerial athletes.

Opisyal nang inihayag na isang sport ang pole dancing at kinilala na rin ng Philippine Olympic Committee ang Philippine Pole and Aerial Sports Association na itinatag ni Ciara Sotto.

Isang dekada nang nagpo-pole dancing si Ciara at sa panayam ng 24 Oras, ipinahayag ni Ciara ang ilan sa kanyang mga adhikain ngayong isa nang ganap na sports ang pole dancing.

“Right now, what I'm trying to work on is to be able to tour our country to look for other athletes because ang daming malalakas na hindi masyado afford bumili ng pole. And I want to bring it to them,” ani Ciara.

Samantala, ginagawa na raw ng kampo nila ang mga hakbang para makasama ang aerial and pole fitness sa Olympics.

“They at least need 40 countries to be able to submit the sport sa International Olympic Committee.

“So, if makasali tayo doon and dumami rin 'yung countries na nakapag-sign up, then there's a chance for pole fitness to be part of the Olympics talaga.

“But right now, we're looking into getting into the Sea Games,” aniya pa.

Umaasa naman umano si Ciara na makakuha sila ng suporta mula sa gobyerno.

“Right now, we will work first with the private sectors because we're still starting and wala pa kaming one year,” dagdag pa niya.

Kasama ng ilang aerial sports enthusiast, napalago ni Ciara ang pole and aerial community na nagsimula sa Luzon hanggang sa magkaroon na rin ng ilang sangay sa Visayas at Mindanao.

Grateful for my POLE SISTERS. Pregnancy for me was an incredible experience as a woman, but it also took a toll on my body. After I gave birth, I felt so heavy and weak I never thought I'd gain my strength and drive back again. Pole dancing is such a huge part of me. I started in 2009 and I'm very grateful for these women. These girls have been a great source of encouragement for me to get back on my feet and pick myself up after being so down. They never stopped encouraging me to go back to Pole Dance when I stopped. Thank you my dear pole sisters, for helping me dust myself off and for helping me get back up. Sharing with you my pole community composed of my students and Co-teachers who I am so thankful for. Love you girls!!! #polehearted #roadto40 #gratitude
