Memorandum Order No. 452, issued on November 13, 1997, amends the earlier Memorandum Order No. 369 from 1996, which established eight sports clusters in the Philippines.

Each cluster is managed by a designated head from various GOCCs, responsible for mobilizing support for specific sports sectors. The Philippine Sports Commission is tasked with creating implementing guidelines to manage the generated funds effectively, with the order taking immediate effect.
