From swimming caps, to balls and training goals, necessary equipment the office of Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso purchased has finally arrived in preparation for the program to turn the city as the water polo capital of the country.
Dale Evangelista, the man in charge of the program, said that the equipment came from Europe.
“Of course, Mayor Isko wants the best equipment for Manila, that’s why we purchased it in Europe,” said Evangelista, a former superstar of the water polo national team. “We’re all excited with this development, we’re just waiting for its release. Once they’re ready, we’ll start to install it in different venues we identified together with the Manila Sports Council.”

As the City of Manila prepares its vaccination program for its residents against COVID-19, former national water polo team star Dale Evangelista sees it as a very good sign to roll out the sports programs of Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso.
With the help of the national team, Evangelista said Tuesday they are ready to jumpstart Domagoso’s desire of turning the city as the country’s water polo capital.
“It’s a very good development considering that there are plans now on how to proceed with the vaccination program once the vaccines are here. As what the Mayor mentioned, it’s important to get the vaccination before we start with the sports programs,” said Evangelista.
