Palaro 2015 host sets benchmark for future Palarong Pambansa

Tweet

Thirty eight (38) days before the opening, Palarong Pambansa 2015 host Davao del Norte received outstanding marks from Education Secretary Br. Armin Luistro FSC during the official launch held in Tagum City, Thursday (March 26).

Luistro commended the preparations and said Davao del Norte could establish a benchmark for all future editions of the annual Palaro.

“It’s really the first time that I really feel and can sense that we are one month ahead of the preparations for the Palarong Pambansa. Maraming-maraming salamat po sa probinsiya ng Davao del Norte at sa ating sanggunian ng Tagum City at sa lahat po ng mga kasama natin dahil parang hindi po kami masyadong harassed sa Palarong Pambansa 2015. In fact, way, way ahead of schedule, lahat po ng ating mga opisyales ay nagpakita na hindi naman pala kailangan parati tayong naghahabol at sana ito na nga po yung ating standard for a benchmark for succeeding Palarong Pambansa,” Luistro said.

He added that he was impressed by how Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo Del Rosario, kept his promise of delivering a remarkable and “the best Palarong Pambansa thus far.”

“Kahit po mag-ikot na kayo doon sa mga venues, gaya ng ating mga Regional Directors ay naririto so that they can see for themselves how much preparation has already been done prior to the opening of Palarong Pambansa. I am so certain that our friends in Media, our general public, will be very pleased with what they see,” Luistro praised.

A pleasant addition to this year’s Palaro is the comprehensive guidebook featuring the billeting schools, playing venues, safety and security, and other essential details that athletes and spectators will need to know once the event commences. During the launch, the song “Palaro ng Pagkakaisa” sung by local favorite Maan Milan, was presented as the official theme song of the 58th Palarong Pambansa.

With the advanced groundwork accomplished by Davao del Norte LGU, DepEd can now focus on the real purpose of the Palaro—to ensure the well-being of the athletes and their coaches, and to assure the development of another world-class facility in one of our country’s provinces.

Continuing its commitment to enhance land and enrich lives for more people, Ayala Land broke ground on another landmark development last March 5, this time in Bacolod City. This new mixed-use development which will arise in the heart of the city is called “Capitol Central”.

It is located along San Juan St., Brgy. 8, Bacolod City. Ayala Land’s subsidiary, Amaia Land Corp, which caters to the affordable housing segment, is the group behind this project.

Bacolod City is among the most urbanized and busiest cities in the Visayas and is among the country’s third fastest growing economies in terms of information technology and business process outsourcing activities, which makes it an ideal place for young professionals.

Aside from Amaia Steps, soon to rise at Capitol Central are the retail, hotel, and office components with the Capitol Park as its centrepiece. The development will allow residents to live comfortably sans the hassle of going to different places for their needs. It is also accessible to most transport facilities such as jeepneys, tricycles, and even ferry stations.

The development boasts of swimming pools for adults and kids, a children’s play area, landscaped gardens, jogging path and retail shops, contributing to a welcoming ambience for residents.

Like other Amaia condominiums, this project is designed with 24-hour guarded entrance and exits and CCTV cameras to ensure safety and security. There will be two elevators per building and naturally-ventilated hallways for homeowners’ comfort and convenience.

Buyers of Amaia Steps can choose from three unit types, namely, Studio, De Luxe, and Premier. These will showcase views of Talisay and Bacolod City, and the beautiful scenery of Guimaras Straight. Various affordable payment schemes are being offered: cash, deferred, bank financing and in-house financing.
