Marinduque Lone District Representative Lord Allan Velasco filed last Monday House Bill No. 8317, entitled “An Act Establishing the Marinduque Sports
Academy and Training Center in Barangay Baliis, Municipality of Sta. Cruz in
the Province of Marinduque.” Under the Bill, the Marinduque Sports Academy and Training
Center upon its establishment shall be the primary sports development and
training center here in line with the continued promotion of physical education and holding of sports programs, league competitions and amateur sports.
Simultaneous with the filing of H.B. No. 8317, Velasco will also launch the very first Philippine Sports Commission – Philippine Sports Institute (PSC-PSI) Grassroots Program to be held in the province. This is scheduled on October 5 to 7, 2018 at the Marinduque State College, Boac Campus.

“Many of my kababayans here in Marinduque have long
been waiting for this type of event to happen in our province. We will be
building capacities of our local coaches, PE teachers and athletes in the
fields of basketball, volleyball, softball, badminton and athletics. I’m glad
that PSC and PSI were able to include our province in their grassroots program
and hope that our partnership continues for future projects in Marinduque,” Velasco said.
