AN ACT
REVERTING THE MANAGEMENT AND FULL CONTROL OF THE LAND, 
BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS OF THE QUEZON CITY 
VELODROME TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF QUEZON CITY FROM THE 
PHILIPPINE SPORTS COMMISSION, AMENDING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 6847, OR 
THE PHILIPPINE SPORTS COMMISSION ACT AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Philippine Constitution mandates the promotion and development of sports to 
foster a healthy and disciplined citizenry. However, this constitutional mandate will be 
hard to achieve if the state of our sports facilities has deteriorated and is not at par with 
international standards. Key complexes like the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex and the 
Quezon City Velodrome are outdated and no longer meet the demands of our athletes 
when they are in training. These facts hinder their growth and success in international 
competition.
This bill is primarily intended to transfer the management and upkeep of the 
Velodrome from the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) to the City Government of 
Quezon City, which will allow better maintenance and development to meet the 
community's needs. By localizing its supervision and administration, Quezon City can 
ensure that the Velodrome remains a well-maintained and valuable resource for sports 
development and recreation.


More importantly, investing in state-of-the-art facilities and equipment can provide 
our athletes with the necessary resources to excel in both national and international 
competitions.
The establishment and proper upkeep of modern training centers will not only 
boost athlete performance but also instill national pride and patriotism. This bill, 
therefore, represents a crucial investment in the future of Philippine sports and the 
athletes who represent our nation on the world stage.
In view of the foregoing, the early passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
