Bacolod City Councilor Carlos Jose Lopez said he has urged Mayor Evelio Leonardia to set up beach volleyball courts at both the Bacolod City Government Center and the site of the proposed Bacolod MassKara Coliseum. He believes the sport would bring in more visitors and develop future tourism activities.
The city official called both suggested sites “ideal” for beach volleyball.
He added, beach volleyball caters more to the females as the sport promotes and develops their talents, along with facilitating social interaction.
The Bacolod MassKara Coliseum, which is earmarked at P800 million, is among several projects planned after the city earlier agreed to borrowing a P1.7 billion loan Development Bank of the Philippines./DGB, WDJ
