| Sta. Cruz Mayor Percival P. Morales with Cong. Lord Allan Velasco. Mayor Percy Morales of Sta. Cruz has long dreamed of building a sports complex in his town as venue for continued sports training programs and for the holding of bigger sports tournaments and other events. He conveyed his idea to Cong. Velasco who immediately committed support for the construction of the said sports facility. By October 2011, a ground-breaking ceremony was held, graced by Velasco, Morales and Party List Representative Mark Aeron A. Sambar of Pwersa ng Bayaning Atleta (PBA), Velasco's colleague in Congress who was tapped for additional fund support. |
