EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Quezon City Velodrome was supposed to be the premiere training and 
events center for cycling in the Philippines. The management and operation of the 
Quezon City Velodrome is under the Philippine Sports Commission. Sadly, the Quezon 
City Velodrome was not properly maintained. Said facility is already outdated and even 
practices cannot be conducted there. It was also shown that it would be more feasible 
to have a new velodrome constructed than renovating the current Quezon City 
Velodrome. 
Since the Philippines is continuously working hard to bring more glory and 
honor for flag and country, thru sports, there is a need to improve the facilities for 
cycling. As such, this bill seeks to create the Philippine Velodrome in Tagaytay City so 
that the country can now have a world-class facility where our athletes can train. The 
new Philippine Velodrome can also be a venue for big cycling events, both local and 
national. The bill at-hand will also amend Section 23 of Republic Act No. 6847 and will 
revert the ownership and control over the Quezon City Velodrome to the local 
government.  
To ensure that the new Philippine Velodrome will be well maintained, the 
ownership, management and control over it shall be lodged with the local government 
of Tagaytay City. The creation of the Philippine Velodrome in Tagaytay City is another 
step forward towards sports glory. Having a new and world-class facility for cycling 
will surely improve the training and performance of Filipino cycling athletes. 
For the Filipino people, the approval of the foregoing bill is earnestly being 
sought.
