NAGA HOSTING BIKOL PALARO ‘99Naga City. It is final, the 1999 regional schools’ games will be hosted by this city in February next year.
Naga City’s bid won over that of Daet by unanimous decision of DECS division superintendents of the region during their recent conference held in Irosin, Sorsogon.
Kagawad Julian Lavadia, Jr., chairman of the city Sangunian’s sports committee indicated that the major consideration for the selection of Naga as the regional Palaro host is the presence of olympic standard sports facilities at the Metro Naga Complex in Barangay Pacol which were used as venues for the 1997 Palarong Pambansa.
The last time the city hosted the regional games was in 1972, some 16 years ago. Free Pen Bulletin
