If we work harder and collaborate with LGUs, we can develop regional training centers.&quot;Other sports that will make use of the Bukidnon training center include sepak takraw, karate and cycling.Also on the drawing board is the construction of four tennis courts, a softball/baseball diamond, open field for outdoor events, auditorium for cultural performances and a museum.&quot;This facility is an investment in the dreams and potential of our young athletes in Bukidnon and Mindanao.
