Rewritten Article:
🔥 Got some cash to burn and a love for sports? Well, hold on to your jockstraps, sports fans! The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has dropped a cool P100 million on some spiffy new sports infrastructure projects in ~~Isabela City~~, and they're not shy about flaunting it.
The generous spending spree, orchestrated by Basilan Lone District Representative and Deputy Minority Leader Mujiv Hataman, has resulted in some top-notch sports facilities, including two multi-purpose buildings, a rubberized track and field oval, and more.
Come Tuesday, May 6, 2025, ~~Isabela City Mayor Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman~~ graciously accepted the keys to these impressive new additions during a ceremony that left the community buzzing with excitement. The celebration kicked off with a citywide fun run and Zumba session organized by the Department of Education-Schools Division Office, drawing participation from students, teachers, local officials, agency representatives, and community members alike.
The radiant event served as a testament to community spirit, fitness, and renewed pride in public infrastructure. Now, the question is, are you ready to unleash your inner athlete on these brand-spanking new facilities? Let's take a closer look at the eye-popping details:
The grandstand project consists of a 25-meter by 8.5-meter bleacher area and 320 meters of perimeter fencing. This spectator paradise was funded under the General Appropriations Act (GAA) 2023, setting you back a mere P20 million.
Also stepping up to the plate is a multi-purpose building with a 48-meter by 6.6-meter floor area and two staircases, totaling a whopping 40 smackeroos under GAA 2020.
But wait, there's more! Simultaneously playing sports and knowing that your hard-earned tax dollars are being put to good use just hits differently. Enter the P40 million multi-purpose facilities package: the grandstand, a 6,057.53-square-meter rubberized track and field area, and a 1,881.86-square-meter artificial grass turf.
Now, if you're wondering whether your elected representatives have been working overtime to ensure that the fun never stops, wonder no more. Representative Hataman has dropped some extra funds in the pot: a P15 million executive lounge and stage, P50 million for the proposed additional bleacher section and a public market in Malamawi Island, and an additional P35 million for demolishing and replacing the existing bleachers to match the new structure.
So, what's next for sports enthusiasts in ~~Isabela City~~? According to Representative Hataman, the groundbreaking ceremony for a new multi-purpose building at the grandstand site is imminent. Prepare yourselves for even more sports, civic, and community functions!
