The Bacolod City Government has given the World Series bid of the Bacolod-Negros softball team a shot-in-the-arm by allocating P200,000 for the squad’s trip to the United States, Bacolod councilor Homer Bais said yesterday.
Bais also said that the Negros Occidental provincial government is set to release the P50,000 commitment to the Ba-Neg softbelles, who are scheduled to see action in the 2007 Junior League World Series from Aug. 12-19 in Kirkland, Washington.
The financial aid from the Bacolod City Government and the Capitol, however, is still short of the P1.2 million needed for the delegation’s trip. The 20-man delegation will be composed of 11 players, five coaches and four officials.
