A group from Reichert & Co. in Germany arrived in Negros Occidental to discuss the repair works needed for the rubberized oval track at the Panaad Park and Stadium.

The German company that also installed the rubberized track at the stadium in 1998, met with Vice Gov. Isidro Zayco at the Capitol yesterday on the details of the repairs.

Zayco said the provincial government is looking at various options to ensure that work to be done is within its budget.

He said initial estimate for replacement of the rubberized track show it would cost from P10 to P15 million.

Park Administrator Ian De Ramos said materials had already been purchased last year to start the repair on the track oval but unfavorable weather condition delayed the work.

He added that they have to close a portion of the track in front of the stadium to prevent further damage to the rubberized facility.

Those who frequent the stadium to exercise can still use the portion that was not fenced off, De Ramos said.

He added that the facility remains serviceable and initial repair can start using the materials purchased last year.*NAB
