TO MAKE sure everything is ready for the 2012 Western Visayas Regional Athletic Association (WVRAA) slated March 12 to 16 at Panaad Park and Sports Stadium in Bacolod City, the host province of Negros Occidental has allocated P4 million for the upgrading of meet venues.

Mario Amaca, principal of Negros Occidental High School (NOHS), said recently that Governor Alfredo G. Marañon Jr. allocated the fund for the upgrading and rehabilitation of volleyball, basketball and lawn tennis courts at Paglaum Sports Complex, which is adjacent to NOHS.
