CEBU, Philippines — Following the controversial measurement of the newly refurbished Cebu City Sports Center’s rubberized oval, the Department of Education yesterday hoped that it would not happen again in future editions of the Palarong Pambansa.
“When the hosting was awarded to Cebu City, the meetings…technical conferences were regularly held…. There were four or three technical conferences that were held in Cebu city to make sure that they are all up to standards,” she said. Bringas said that as per measurement of the contractor using a telescopic device to measure the distance of the entire oval, it appeared that the oval is just 398 instead of the standard of 400 meters.
“This was built in 1994, this whole sports center, when we last hosted the Palaro. And what I understood was there was a German engineer who certified the specifications so we are actually quite surprised and it's possible that it's due to the lining,” he added. Aside from that, Bringas said that based on their understanding, the Cebu City Government will also fix the bends for future competitions.
A source told The Freeman that Laoag City already made renovations on its track oval and had it certified already, although he did not specify when the certification was secured. -#PhilstarPicks: Boost your daily routine with these 8 practical and exclusive dealsMandaue City Lone District Representative Emmarie “Lolypop” Ouano-Dizon, together with Department of Education Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III, inspected the site of a medium-rise school building that...
