Albay Astrodome repairs complete

LEGAZPI CITY—The provincial government of Albay announced the complete restoration of the 19-year-old Albay Astrodome here.

Albay Capitol spokesman Danny Garcia said Gov. Al Francis Bichara ordered the repair of the P100-million sports venue built in 1997 at a total cost of P25 million. Repairs were completed in three months, ending November 16.

The repair involved all the air conditioning units, the basketball court, comfort rooms, the stage, bleachers and a paint job. It is once again ready to host events such as an upcoming Philippine Basketball Association game, Garcia said. The stadium can accommodate 5,000 persons.
