Pagagandahin ng Philippine Sports Commission ang Mindanao State University track-oval para sa mga atleta ng Marawi City at buong probinsya ng Lanao del Sur.
Pinangunahan nina PSC Chairman William Ramirez at MSU president Dr. Habib W. Macaayong ang groundbreaking ceremony sa MSU campus nitong Martes.
“A prestigious and respected educational institution must have a track oval of its own, not only for sports but for the cultural and social activities of Lanao as well,’’ pahayag ni Ramirez.
“As soon as the track oval is completed, we will host tournaments and invite athletes from other countries and schools to compete,’’ giit naman ni Macaayong.
Ibinahagi rin ni Ramirez na ang proyektong ito ay para sa mga mamamayan na nakaranas sa giyera at dahil sa suporta ng administrasyon.
“President (Rody) Duterte’s mantra is to bring sports to the periphery. But Marawi is not a periphery, it is an urban society. All the more that it must have a track oval and sports complex of its own,’’ detalye ni Ramirez.
Present din sa groundbreaking ceremony sina PSC executive assistant at Philippine Sports Institute national training director Marc Edward Velasco, PSI deputy director prof. Henry Daut, Atty. Renato Bartolo, HUDCC TFBM,
Police Supt. Richard Adonis Habawel, Lanao del Sur SK Federation president Jamil Faisal Adiong, MSU vice chancellor for academic affairs Dr. Florencio Recolleto, vice chancellor for research Dr. Ceasar dela Sena at CSPEAR founder/prof. Henrietta Hofer Ele (founder CSPEAR). (Janiel Abby Toralba)
