Is there a Phase Two>? What's its composition? IIRC, Phase 2 is the Olympic-size swimming pool, baseball field and additional seating for the grandstand. Target completion is end of 2013 or early 2014. However with the current situation of Davao del Norte due to Typhoon Pablo, there will definitely be a long delay before construction continues (at least 6-8 months), and the province will have to wait before they're able to bid to host the Palarong Pambansa by then.

From our local news today: Renovation of Davao del Norte Sports Complex is nearing completion. The problem now is that the contractors are waiting for the weather to dry up so they could install the rubberized track around the football field in front of the grandstand.
The final seating capacity of the grandstand is "3,000" using FIFA standards.

Davao Norte Gov. Del Rosario vows to complete “big-item” projects before next term December 28, 2012 Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo del Rosario is optimistic he can complete the “big-time” projects before his second term ends in June 30, 2013. The governor, who is sure winner in 2013 elections, cited before local mediamen that he has two big-item project and program that he is completing, namely: the P240-million provincial sports complex and the convergence program based on peace and development paradigm. “The sports complex is 95-percent completed,” he said, adding that what is next to be done is the improvement of the gym equipped with airconditioner. “That requires about P300 million.” He said that the fund for completion is incorporated in the 2013 provincial annual budget worth P940 million. On the other hand, the governor said that the convergence program of the provincial government has been largely winning peace through development in the province’s countrysides by bringing in multiple services converged by provincial departments, local government units, barangays and various governments agencies including the military. He said that “peace cannot be attained without development, and vice versa.” He added that this convergence strategy would continue during his assured third and last term after the 2013 polls. His sole rival a certain Norberto Mijares from Panabo City was recently declared “nuisance candidate” by the Commission on Elections-Manila. Last December 12 the governor led the soft opening of the 11-hectare Davao del Norte Sports and Cultural Center (DNSCC). It is located infront the provincial Capitol building at Barangay Mankilam, Tagum City. It features a 5,000-capacity grandstand, a rubberized all-weather track oval, a football field, outdoor playing courts, and an aquatic center with a 10-lane Olympic-sized pool, warm-up pool, and clubhouse. The sports complex is positioned to become a premier sporting venue in Davao Region. The governor is optimistic that with the state of the facility his province can ably host the Davao Regional Athletics Association (DAVRAA) meet in February 2013. With it, Davao del Norte is now a strong contender for the hosting of the Palarong Pambansa in 2015, Gov. Del Rosario added. – Rural Urban News/Cha Monforte cha4t.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/davao-norte-gov-del-rosario-vows-to-complete-big-item-projects-before-next-term/

Here are some photos of the refurbished grandstand & field of the Davao del Norte Sports Complex: The grandstand at night. They actually installed lighting fixtures, but they're too dim for me and wouldn't fit international standard. They should add more lighting to the sides of the pitch. The track oval and the pitch. The track is too wide and it would've been great if the pitch was longer. The main grandstand can fill up 10,000 spectators if not following FIFA standard. In FIFA standard, the grandstand only gets 3,000 people.

^^The pitch is not 105X68 meters? Also, is the 3000 seating capacity the final or it will be increased in the future?

^^The pitch is not 105X68 meters? Also, is the 3000 seating capacity the final or it will be increased in the future? I remember the pitch was constructed large enough to accommodate both football, rugby and track-and-field. Multi-purpose, kumbaga. The grandstand was set to accommodate 10k - 12k and not follow FIFA standard. But due to insistent demand because of the popularity of the football NT, the LGU of Tagum City decided to put it to FIFA standard and was found out that the grandstand can only seat 3k given the limits of the space allotted for it. I presume there was a plan to expand the seating, but with a completely new mayor (Allan Rellon) replacing the incumbent (Rey Uy) who planned this complex, I doubt that would happen sooner.
