Who's from Rizal here? Are there any updates about this stadium? Or this was on-hold or scrapped? Hope it wasn't scrapped. They said this could replace Marikina Sports Complex if this was completed.
If this is true, then Azkals could play in Rizal province in the future.

200M SPORTS COMPLEX TO RISE IN TAYTAY RIZAL
tspc1Taytay, Rizal—- The local government is setting sight on the construction of a P200 million state of the art sports complex, which would replace the Marikina Sports Center that was earlier ceded by the Provincial Government of Rizal to Marikina City, where it is situated.
Mayor Joric Gacula said that they have in fact started expropriating some 13.6 hectares in Barangay Muzon where they intend to put up the modern day sports complex.
In acquiring titled properties for the venue of the sports complex, the local council earlier passed ordinance number 1 (series of 2009), which pertains to the legal expropriation procedure.
Gacula explained that the procedure on the acquisition of these properties was made possible with the help of the Provincial Government through Governor Jun Ynares III, who expressed willingness to dole out a counterpart fund to defray the cost of the proceedings.
Under the local government development plan, the sports center would be equipped with world standard facilities, which include an open athletic field (with elevated bleachers), Olympic size pools, covered basketball courts, among many other sports amenities.
The local chief executive explained that the sports complex, which would be at par with the global standards, would host various provincial sports activities, such as the Palarong Panlalawigan, the Governor’s Cup, the Palarong Pambansa, the STACAA, among others.
Gacula likewise cited Gov. Ynares III and Congressman Jack Duavit (1st District of Rizal), whom he described as consistently supporting their development programs, especially those that has something to do with youth empowerment and sports development. “ Gov. Ynares, Rep. Duavit and I share common sentiment on the government’s need to provide the youth with something which could help them do away with drugs and at the same time develop and hone their talents through various sports discipline of their choice,” Gacula noted.

Three firms to help build sports center in Taytay
May 16, 2009 8:22pm
MANILA, Philippines – Three leading development banks have tendered an offer to the Taytay, Rizal local government for a loan package to defray part of the cost of constructing a world-class sports center that would host local, provincial, regional and national sports gatherings.
On top of the loan, the provincial government has made a commitment to provide at least P100 million to shoulder its cost while Rep. Jack Duavit (1st District, Rizal) vowed to provide high end sports facilities for the use of local athletes.
Mayor Joric Gacula said that with the confirmation of Rizal Gov. Jun Ynares III’s commitment to shell out P100 million from the provincial funds, plus that of Duavit’s pledge, Taytay would soon become the regions sports center as they could now host events like the Palarong Pambansa and the Southern Tagalog-CALABARZON Athletic Association (STACAA).
The sports center, which would be at par with world class standards, would be constructed on a 13-hectare parcel in Barangay Muzon that is used to be a dumpsite. On top of the sports center, the area would also be home to two public schools (elementary and high school), a materials recovery facility, transfer station and memorial park.
“I am fervently appealing to critics to set aside politics, even just for now and join us to bring Taytay back to where it belongs – on the top", Gacula said. – GMANews.TV

Sports complex to cover up Taytay dumpsite begins construction in Dec.

TAYTAY, RIZAL—A PhP150 million sports complex, set to rise on top of this municipality’s dumpsite that’s near the Laguna Lake, will begin construction this December.
This is even if the complex, to set foot at a 12-ha. controlled disposal facility (CDF) in Brgy. Muzon, threatens to pollute the lake, according to some non-government organizations.
Municipal officials have said that the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Rizal has already approved the construction project.
Councilor Chito Esguerra said the controlled disposal facility in Muzon “had already been rehabilitated. The area for the sports complex would be examined by engineers and should satisfy the requirements of engineering before the building is constructed.”
Other possible locations within Taytay have been considered for the sports complex, but it will cost a lot more money to acquire new land.
“I would prefer that the sports complex be constructed at the area of Ortigas in Brgy. San Isidro. But the problem is that it would cost Taytay a huge amount to buy, pay or acquire the lot which would cost another PhP150 million,” Esguerra added.
However, the dumpsite remains operational even if Memorandum-2008-432 issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources already notified the Taytay government to fix the problem,
A year after NGOs Greenpeace-Southeast Asia and EcoWaste Coalition barricaded the CDF, garbage trucks and trucks carrying soil were spotted entering the gates of the controlled dump.
Greenpeace and EcoWaste staged another barricade last August 28.
Taytay is among 931 local government units, including the city of Antipolo and the municipalities of San Mateo and Tanay, warned by DENR for operating open dumpsites and allegedly violating Section 37 of RA 9003.
According to Republic Act 9003 (or the Ecological and Solid Waste Management Act), an open dumpsite that was identified must be converted into a controlled disposal facility, which refers to a disposal site where solid waste is deposited in accordance with minimum prescribed operations of the said site.
Greenpeace-Southeast Asia Toxics Campaigner Ira Beau Baconguis wrote a letter to Taytay Mayor George Ricardo Gacula II last year saying that the CDF in Brgy. Muzon brings about hazardous health risks especially since it is near the Laguna Lake.
Greenpeace explained that mixed wastes already in the dump be left in the pit and simply covered with soil, as this would allow “the continuous leaching out of a toxic cocktail of chemicals into the water and release of dangerous gases from the dump”.
“That was the plan. We told them they have to excavate the waste. The dangers remain. The pollution will continue. Even a dumpsite should not be found anywhere near a body of water,” Baconguis said recently.
The Laguna Lake is also a major source of food and drinking water. Baconguis also added that reports from fishermen in some areas near the lake confirmed that the decrease in the number of fish catch per day is caused by the pollution of the lake.
Gacula, in his reply to the NGOs last year, pledged that the municipal government will adopt “stringent procedures” in closing the dumpsite.
The planned sports complex is part of the municipal government’s infrastructure projects that are planned to cover up the mountain of garbage.
Meanwhile, besides the sports complex, Taytay Councilor Archie Calderon bared that there are other projects proposed within the 12-hectare dumpsite, including a convention center, a high school, a municipal cemetery, and a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).
Calderon said that the MRF will serve as a recycling facility for mixed solid wastes.
“The MRF is where all the garbage will be contained in a single facility and then grinded and turned into hollow blocks that can be used for other construction projects,” Calderon said in Filipino.
This first-class municipality that is home to 262,485 residents is found east of Pasig City (in Metro Manila) and north of Laguna Lake.
The Taytay and Panghulo rivers, as well as the Napindan Channel —all of whose waterways go to the Laguna Lake, are also found in the municipality.
