Deputy Speaker Mikee Romero has expressed delight over the donation of a land where the proposed state-of-the-art Philippine Sports Training Center (PSTC) will be constructed to become the official home of Filipino athletes – aspiring and elite.
“Being one of the authors of the law that creates the establishment of a modern sports complex, I am honored that our athletes will soon have a place where they can further polish their talents,” said Romero. “It will be their future home away from home.”
The 1Pacman Partylist representative also lauded the provincial government of Bataan for donating six lots with a land area of more or less 250,000 square meters in the municipality of Bagac – around three hours from the capital city of Manila.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 22) The Department of Health is not yet keen on running 24/7 vaccinations as it is banking on the private sector to open mass vaccination centers.
In a virtual briefing Saturday, Health Undersecretary Ma. Rosario Vergeire said the proposal of House Deputy Speaker and 1-Pacman Party-list Rep. Mikee Romero for COVID-19 vaccination sites to have non-stop operations is not yet a priority.
In a statement on Friday, Romero urged Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. to consider the proposal as this could boost the Philippines goal of reaching herd immunity.
He added putting up 24/7 vaccination centers could also address the problem of overcrowding and help ensure the strict observance of health and safety protocols.
