A Cagayan de Oro lawmaker has filed a legislative measure that will authorize the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to construct a sports complex in the city.

Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Representative Rufus Rodriguez filed House Bill 1458. Under the bill, the DPWH is mandated to construct a sports complex that will include an air-conditioned gymnasium, a basketball court, and training centers for various sports.

The proposed sports complex shall also have a 10,000 seating capacity.

Rodriguez said the budget for the construction of the said sports complex is P500 million and will come from the annual budget of the DPWH under the General Appropriations Act (GAA).

"The residents of Cagayan de Oro City should have a place where they can actively and safely participate in sports and other recreational activities. We envision to have our own state-of-the-art sports complex with world-class facilities. This way we will be able to train our athletes well for competitions here and abroad, particularly the Olympic games," Rodriguez said.

"Sports benefit everyone, especially children. It helps them to foster self-discipline, teamwork, and excellence," he added.

Rodriguez said the bill is pending at the Committee on Youth and Sports Development.
