Deputy Speaker Mikee Romero has expressed delight over the donation of a land where the proposed state-of-the-art Philippine Sports Training Center (PSTC) will be constructed to become the official home of Filipino athletes – aspiring and elite.
“Being one of the authors of the law that creates the establishment of a modern sports complex, I am honored that our athletes will soon have a place where they can further polish their talents,” said Romero. “It will be their future home away from home.”
The 1Pacman Partylist representative also lauded the provincial government of Bataan for donating six lots with a land area of more or less 250,000 square meters in the municipality of Bagac – around three hours from the capital city of Manila.
