Malakas na impact ng Philippine Arena
NANINIWALA ang mga ekonomista na hahatakin ng itinatayong Philippine Arena ang pag-asenso ng Lalawigan ng Bulacan, partikular na ang Bayan ng Bocaue, kung sa bayang ito ititindig ang pinakamalaking arena/dome sa buong mundo.
Ang nasabing proyekto ay itinatayo sa Ciudad Victoria sa Barangay Duhat sa Bocaue at inaasahan na ito ay matatapos sa susunod na taon.
Sa isinagawang pakikipagpulong kamakailan ni Bulacan Gob. Wilhelmino Sy Alvarado sa mga magsasaka ng Bocaue, sinabi nito na bukod sa Philippine Arena ay may mga itatayo ring ibang imprastraktura sa loob ng Ciudad Victoria.
Base sa naipalabas na detalye ni Jerry Caguingin ng investment and promotion unit ng Provincial Cooperative and Enterprise Development Office, ang mga itatayo pang imprastraktura sa loob ng Ciudad Victoria ay ang EGM Memorial Medical Center , New Era University Bulacan Campus, New Era University Sports Stadium Complex at EVM Convention Center.
Idinagdag pa ng gobernador na dahil sa mga pagawaing ito, ang presyo ng lupa sa paligid ng nasabing lugar ay biglang tumaas, na base sa natanggap niyang ulat ay unang nagkakahalaga ng P300.00 kada-kuwadro metro bago sinimulan ang mga pagawain at ngayon ay umaabot na sa halagang P7,000.00 kada-kuwadro metro.
Pinayuhan din ni Alvarado ang mga magsasaka ng Bocaue na huwag silang padalus-dalos sa pagbebenta ng kanilang mga lupang sakahan dahil bumibilis ang pagtaas ng halaga ng lupa sa Bocaue dahil sa investors na gustong lumipat sa nasabing bayan, kaakibat ng mga proyektong nagaganap ngayon sa Ciudad Victoria.
Bukod pa rito, ipinaliwanag pa ni Alvarado na namimintong maganap ang pagsasaga ng coastal road sa Bulacan na mag-uugnay sa economic zone ng Cavite sa economic zone ng Subic sa Zambales.
Sinabi pa ng gobernador na maraming palaisdaan na sa Malolos ang nabili para sa nasabing proyekto.
Sa mga kaganapang ito, tiniyak ng gobernador na maraming investors ang lilipat sa Lalawigan ng Bulacan dahil ang CALABARZON area ay halos puno na, kung saan ang daloy ng trapiko ay nagiging masikip na kaya ang investors ay sa Norteng bahagi na ng Kalakhang Maynila nakatutok ang pansin.
Dahil sa strategic location ng Bulacan sa Metro Manila at sa mga airport ng Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) at ng Diosdado Macapagal airport sa Pampanga, sinabi ni Alvarado na hinog na hinog na ang Bulacan tungo sa mabilis na pag-unlad ng ekonomiya nito.

POC eyes INC-owned stadium as training site
THE PHILIPPINE Olympic Committee has shelved a plan to build a sports center in Clark Field, Pampanga, shifting its focus on the sprawling Philippine Arena which is nearing completion in Marilao, Bulacan, as the training hub of national athletes.
A world-class sports facility owned by the Iglesia ni Cristo and situated next to the north-bound lanes of NLEx, the Philippine Arena is being built on 7.5 hectares of land and will have a dome of 3.6 hectares. It is said to be the largest multipurpose arena in the world.
“We temporarily shelved the idea of putting up a sports center in Clark Field,” said POC president Jose “Peping” Cojuangco Jr. yesterday. “We’re seriously looking at the facilities of the Iglesia ni Cristo.”
The local Olympic body has long wanted to have its own training center with the former United States Air Force base seen as a possible training venue for athletes, apart from the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila.
Cojuangco said the regular turnover of officials in Clark Field has prevented the POC from pushing through with the ambitious project.
Aside from the Rizal complex, athletes have been training at government-owned facilities like Philsports in Pasig City and Teacher’s Camp in Baguio.
The Philippine Arena, which is expected to be completed in the middle of next year, in time for the INC’s 100th year anniversary, is the crown of a huge complex where a hospital, school and stadium are also being built.
“Instead of building a new sports center, let’s try to arrange something for the athletes there,” said Cojuangco.
The Philippine Arena has a seating capacity of 55,000 while the construction of the entire complex is worth P9.4 billion, an enormous amount that even the government cannot afford for a sports facility.
