THE Philippine Sports Commission has formalized its partnership with the Department of Public Works and Highways to build multiple infrastructures to provide the best quality for the welfare of national athletes.
The two parties inked separate agreements for the upgrade of facilities at the PhilSports Complex in Pasig City and the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex (RMSC) in Manila, respectively, led by PSC Chairman Richard Bachmann, Executive Director Paulo Francisco Tatad, and Accounting Division Chief Atty. Erik Jean Mayores at the RMSC Conference Room.
This covers the upgrade of dormitory facilities at the PhilSports Complex where several national athletes train, serving as a counterpart for the RMSC’s seven-story athletes’ dormitory which held its groundbreaking last September.
“We always want to give what is best when it comes to the primary needs of the athletes. This is one of the significant steps to ensure that they remain safe and at peace, day in or day out of their training sessions on a long-term basis,” Bachmann said.
Over at the RMSC, retrofitting of the Baseball Stadium is currently ongoing, which is envisioned to be upgraded in accordance with international standards. This will include covered roofing and an improved grandstand or spectators’ area, providing an outstanding atmosphere for audiences, a high-resolution LED scoreboard, and protective netting and stainless-steel railings with glass.
Other soon-to-rise facilities are the 12-story multi-purpose facility adjacent to the Ninoy Aquino Stadium featuring a modernized bowling facility, the re-development of the Philippine Sports Museum, and the rehabilitation of the sports agency’s Administrative Building.
