New clark city, tarlac — the philippine sports commission (psc) and the bases conversion and development authority have established partnership for a 20-hectare sports development area here.
The move was aimed at strengthening national sports development and support the marcos administration’s agenda to promote sports, aligned with the push to strengthen human capital, promote grassroots games, and grow regional centers outside metro manila.
Psc chairman patrick gregorio said that the partnership will allow facilities to generate recurring income that will ensure long-term funding for national sports development.
“this is a framework that allows psc facilities to generate recurring income through sustainable estate and facility management. This ensures stable funding that can be reinvested in national sports development year after year,” he said.
Under the partnership, a 10-hectare multispecialty sports facility will be developed to help build a complete and inclusive sports ecosystem for filipino athletes.
Another 10-hectare area will be allocated for the philippine tennis center that will reinforce a long-term, discipline-based approach to national sports development and strengthening the country’s tennis program.
The project is expected to boost sports growth by providing modern training facilities for filipino athletes and expanding access to quality sports infrastructure beyond the national capital region.
