KALIBO, Aklan - The forthcoming Western Visayas Regional Athletic Association (WVRAA) meet in Aklan is reschedule on March 14 to 19, the Department of Education (DepEd)-Aklan said.
Dr. Mary Ann Lopez said the 2010 WVRAA will be played in the province of Aklan at the main venue Aklan Calangcang Sports Complex in the town of Makato and other game venues in the town of Kalibo.
The decision to reschedule the holding of the sports event was made during the meeting with top Department of Education (DepEd) officials in Western Visayas at Aklan Sampaguita Gardens Resort and Spa.
"The postponement of the WVRAA meet from its regular schedule on February 21 to 26 was due to the national achievement test for secondary and elementary students," Lopez said in radio interview.
Lopez said the sports complex are being built not only for the regional athletic meet but also for future sports competition in the province. She said the Aklan Calangcang Sports Complex is almost 75 percent completed with ongoing construction of the main grandstand, Olympic size swimming pool and the rubberized track and field oval.
Aklan is hosting the regional sports competition after 15 years for some 3,000 delegates coming from the elementary and high school athletes participating in the regional sports meet.
Lopez expressed confidence the new sports complex is ready for the staging of the week-long regional competition for athletes in the region. The sports facilities and accommodations for athletes in Kalibo to be used during the meet have been finalized for the WVRAA, she added.
School and college officials are advised to coordinate with Provincial Engineer Victory Fernandez for the immediate repair of the living quarters, water connections and toilets during the stay of participating athletes of Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Capiz, Antique, Guimaras and host Aklan.
