A historical landmark and site reserved for sports

THE declaration by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) that the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex (RMSC) is a national historical landmark, and cannot be utilized for other purposes by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and the city government of Manila is a significant one. This will hopefully put a stop to the persistent scheming of certain individuals and sports officials who brazenly seek to personally profit from the privatization and sale of the property.

Instead of serving as serious leaders of national sports, they are taking part in a cabal that will be injurious to national sports and the welfare of Filipino athletes.
