00:00The Sorcogon Sports Arena, inaugurated by President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr., is a new facility in the Bicol Region for national and international sporting events, Radyo Pilipinas reports.
00:13Designed like the Rome's Coliseum, it gets seats 12,000, expandable to 20,000, and features 139 rooms and a rubberized track.
00:22The President called it a symbol of progress for the region, honoring local athlete Isidro Del Prado.
00:30The Philippine Sports Commission aims to use it as a training center with plans for the Southeast Asian Archery Federation Championships in March 2025.
00:40It's like a ripple effect. I hope other LGUs will also create their own sports program.
00:51National training should be dispersed all over the country and Sorcogon should be one of the regional training centers for national athletes so we can find more Carlos Yulo.
