The Philippine Sports Commission’s (PSC) facilities remain intact despite the onslaught brought by super typhoon “Uwan.”
PSC executive director Guillermo Iroy Jr. told DAILY TRIBUNE both the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila and the Philsports Complex in Pasig City didn’t sustain damage.
The Teacher’s Village in Baguio City, which houses the national boxing team, only got its power supply cut.
“Everything is okay because the typhoon didn’t pass by Metro Manila, so Rizal Memorial and ULTRA (Philsports) aren’t damaged,” Iroy said.
“Baguio was directly hit but the electricity will be restored soon by the Baguio Electric Cooperative. So far, there isn’t a negative report there.”
Boxing coach Ronald Chavez said in a previous report that they continued with their training for the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Thailand from 9 to 20 December.
“It was rainy here but it is not that strong. We are able to do what is listed on our program.”
Iroy said he is confident the athletes and coaches in Baguio will be able to make it back to Manila as the Department of Public Works and Highways are working on clearing Kennon Road and McArthur Highway.
