CLARK FREEPORT -- The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) will improve the three open basketball courts at the Bayanihan Park by installing roofs and substantial lights.

This stemmed from the concern expressed by Congressman Joseller "Yeng" Guiao of the First District of Pampanga recently.

According to Guiao, many are playing in the open basketball courts even when it is raining and even under the searing heat of the sun.

He added that young sports enthusiasts should be given utmost concern by providing them with quality sports facilities.

In a letter, CDC Vice President for Engineering Alveen Tabag informed SM City Clark Assistant Mall Manager Aaron Jeffrey Montenegro that the CDC Board of Directors approved the project and that construction will proceed once it has been awarded.

The improvement of the basketball courts at the Bayanihan Park project consists of provision of roofs, roof structural framing, lighting and new basketball goals.

Guiao is also a professional basketball coach and is currently coaching the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He won four PBA titles for Swift in the early 90s and is also a former Philippine Basketball League commissioner from 1997-2000.

CDC has been implementing off-zone projects in line with its parallel development policies and local government units coordination program.
