MORE infrastructure developments, including better flood-control systems, will be done at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, to be fast-tracked in the coming months, as the Philippine Sports Commission seeks to make it more accessible to national athletes preparing for international meets.
PSC chairman Patrick Gregorio said this following a recently-held Sports Stakeholders’ Forum.
“We’re cleaning up the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex. We’re cleaning up the Philsports Complex. We’ve sent our infrastructure projects and the regional training centers to the President (Ferdinand Marcos Jr.). And he said we should fast track the development, the augmentation and the repairs,” said Gregorio.
Maintaining the original facilities in athletics, football, baseball and the basketball stadiums because they are historic sites will be impIemented through the plans laid out by architect Raul Alcarazen.
An underground flood-control system aims to address flooding along the streets of Vito Cruz and Adriatico is also in the works.
Last year, infrastructure plans that included renovations of national athletes’ dormitories and its main administration building in Manila were done under the previous administration of Richard Bachmann.
