PSC and DPWH - NCR signed the memorandum of agreement at the RMSC's Conference Room. The officials attended from the both parties were (L-R) PSC Engineering and Maintenance Office Head Engr. Maria Victoria T. Moya, Sports Facilities Division Acting Chief Julia G. Llanto, Executive Director Paulo Francisco C. Tatad, Accounting Division Chief Atty. Erik Jean Mayores, Chairman Richard E. Bachmann, DPWH - NRC Regional Director Engr. Loreta M. Malaluan, DPWH - SMDE OIC Engr. Manny B. Bulasan, MM1DEO Asst. District Engineer Engr. Lamberto C. De Leon, and DPWH - SMDE OIC Asst. District Engineer Engr. Brian B. Briones.

The two parties inked separate agreements for the upgrade of facilities in the PhilSports Complex in Pasig City and the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex (RMSC) in Manila, respectively, spearheaded by PSC Chairman Richard Bachmann, Executive Director Paulo Francisco Tatad, and Accounting Division Chief Atty. Erik Jean Mayores at the RMSC’s Conference Room.

This ensures the upgrade of dormitory facilities in PhilSports Complex where several national athletes train, serving as a counterpart for the RMSC’s seven-storey 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,” Chairman Bachmann said.

Over at the RMSC, retrofitting of the Baseball Stadium is currently on-going which is envisioned to be upgraded in accordance to the international standards. This will include a 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-storey 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.

DPWH - NCR and Metro Manila First District were represented by Regional Director Engr. Loreta M. Malaluan and District Engineer Aristotle B. Ramos for the Philsports Complex’ jurisdiction.

Meanwhile, DPWH - South Manila District Engineering Office was attended by OIC Engr. Manny B. Bulasan and OIC Asst. District Engineer Brian B. Briones for RMSC facilities.

“I’d like to thank DPWH for partnering with us. And I’m sure ‘pag tapos na [ang projects], all the athletes and NSAs [National Sports Associations] will be actually happy,” Bachmann stated.
