Better venues for local gatherings and sports events in Subic Bay Freeport Zone are now available to the public with the improvement of Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center (SBECC) and Subic Gym in Zambales.
Department of Public Works and Hihghways (DPWH) Secretary Mark A. Villar said the improvement of the SBECC and Subic Gym has served as among the sports venues for the previously concluded 30th Southeast Asian Games.
In his report to Secretary Villar, DPWH Zambales Second District Engineer Hercules C. Manglicmot said that they have completed the rehabilitation of the 2,595-square meter Subic gym and tennis court, with a total cost of P87-million.
The 10,470-square meter Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center also underwent rehabilitation amounting to P94.49-million to accommodate more visitors and host more events.
“After the success of the SEA Games, the facilities are now to the public for them to experience and enjoy the newly-improved center and gym. After all, these infrastructure projects would not have been successful without the public’s support,” added Villar.
