Bidding

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]

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.
