Manila Sports Complex 1
1. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background and Nature of the Project
Sports has been around for centuries, prehistoric paintings have been found in
different caves around the world. Various civilizations like the ancient Greek and
Egyptians have their own sport and events for the amusement of people, camaraderie
and honor. Events like wrestling, weightlifting and athletics being some of the oldest
sports ever played.
The development of modern sports is believed by some historians to be an invention
of the western culture-most notably Bernard Lewis,
“We invented the majority of the world's great sports.... 19th century Britain was the
cradle of a leisure revolution every bit as significant as the agricultural and industrial
revolutions we launched in the century before.” – John Major, British Prime Minister,
1995
Though some of the modern sports originated from the western civilizations like
England, one of the most prominent sporting organization started in Greece, the
Olympics.
The Olympic games started as a religious and athletic festival, being held every 4
years in Olympia, Greece. The competition was among several city-states and
kingdoms of ancient Greece (Swaddling, 2000). The ancient games featured running
events, a pentathlon, boxing, wrestling, pankration and equestrian events with Coroebus
being held as the first Olympic champion. Since then, the Olympics has gone through
different changes and additions to its competing nations. Today the Olympic games
consists of 47 sports, 32 for the Summer Olympics and 15 for the Winter Olympics.
A sports commission was created and approved in January 1990, through Republic
Act No. 6847, this commission is known as the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC),
which serves as the policy-making and coordinating body of all amateur sports
development programs and institutions in the Philippines. The PSC Act, however,
recognizes the role of the Philippine Olympic Committee as an International Olympic
Committee affiliate as the National Olympic Committee of the Philippines. The act also
recognizes the autonomy of other National Sports Associations in the Philippines.
Sports in the Philippines is a big part of the country’s culture. Basketball for one, is
the most popular sport in the country, millions watch and play the game tirelessly. In
the past year, other sports have gained recognition from the Filipino masses, sports like
volleyball and football etc., have been talked about a lot recently, together with other
popular sports like boxing and billiards. This shows how passionate Filipino people are
with sports and how much more we can widen the realm of sports in our country.
1.2 Statement of the problem
In December of 2016, the Manila City government announced plans to redevelop
and rehabilitate the historic Rizal Memorial Sports Complex (RMSC). There are reports
that it will be converted into a mall but the extent of the development is still unclear
(Alcala, 2016).
The RSMC has been a host for some of the major sporting events in Asia and has
been grazed by legends of different sports. It has been home for Filipino athletes in the
past decades. The RSMC is an example of pre-war art deco style of architecture and the
national sports complex of the Philippines.
The RMSC, built in 1934 for the Far Eastern Games, was destroyed during the
second world war and reconstructed in 1953, for the 1954 Asian Games and was
renovated in 2011 with the national stadium which sits 30,000 people being its main
centerpiece. The RMSC, however, has dated facilities and limited space. It is not the
favorite among the sports facilities anymore and has not been as popular of a destination
to host sporting events due to lack of monetary assistance and to the rise of new and
more modern facilities like the Araneta Coliseum and the Mall of Asia Arena. These
sporting venues became the go-to venue for sports such as basketball, volleyball etc.,
because it has better facilities and maintenance. The last major sporting event was the
Asian Women’s Club Volleyball Championship held in May 2006.
The Philippines as of today has 20 stadiums, each can seat at least 10,000 spectators.
The biggest one is the Philippine arena which can seat up to 55,000 people. The Rizal
Memorial Stadium, on the other hand, can accommodate 12,873 spectators at a time,
the Rizal Memorial Coliseum at 8,000 spectators, the Rizal Memorial Baseball Stadium
at 10,000 spectators and the Ninoy Aquino Stadium at 6,000 spectators. On the other
hand, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore have more stadiums than the Philippines.
Thailand has 68 stadiums with National stadium in Bangkok (the biggest in Thailand),
can seat up to 65,000 people. Vietnam has 37 stadiums, the My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi
have a 40,000 seating capacity, and 13 more stadiums that can accommodate 20,000 to
28,000 people, while Singapore have a 55,000 seater National Stadium and 30,000
seater Marina Bay Floating Platform. The 10-hectare Rizal Memorial Sports Complex
is already congested, outdated and not suitable for the training of athletes. In 2010, the
PSC envisioned to create a training center for some 600 members of the national pool
in the sprawling government-owned lot at the Clark Development Zone in Angeles City
as the 10-hectare Rizal Memorial Sports Complex is already congested and is not
suitable for the training of the athletes. Budgetary constraints remain the main problem
in making such plan a reality.
1.3 Project Goal and Objectives
The goal of the project is to provide a facility which will revitalize the historical
and social significance of Rizal Memorial Sports Complex as well as the entirety of the
area around it, while providing an up-to-date facility to produce world class athletes,
and provide a leisure and recreation area for the community.
1. To provide a sports facility that will be up to international standards;
2. To create a facility that will bring life back to the area through sports and
recreational facilities;
3. To create a mixed-use facility that caters to the needs of athletes, the public and
the respective sporting organizations.

1.4 Significance of the Project
The Rizal Memorial Sports Complex is one of the most historical sports venue in
the Philippines, as it hosted major Asian tournaments and has been a venue for some of
the most historic games in Philippine sports history.
The project focuses on making the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex a major part of
the Philippine sports scene again and reviving its old grandeur. Boosting the sports
tourism of the City of Manila and boosting the local economy of the area. This will
bring lots of local tourists, especially sports fans and mall goers to the area. This will
not only retain the sports stadiums and open fields but will bring in more people and
make the sports complex feasible and profitable again.
Making the project as sustainable not just environmentally but also financially. This
gives the sports complex its own way of generating income for its maintenance and
future improvements. A mall and open park will improve the morale and add to the
already rich character of Manila City.
The project aims to preserve some of the features and key characteristics of Rizal
Memorial Sports Complex, while improving the capacity and capabilities of this old
structure, to be able to meet the needs and demands of current sports. Improving and
regaining its status as one of the best sport complexes in Asia.

1.5 Scope and Limitation of the Project
The scope of the project is the master planning and designing of major sections of
the sports complex; the Baseball Stadium, Track and Football Stadium, Rizal Memorial
Coliseum, Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Swimming Center, a shopping mall, fun and
recreation facility, athlete center, NSA offices and parks.
The Baseball Stadium along with the Track and Football stadium will be elevated
and have the parking spaces, utilities, and some concessions below it.
The Rizal Memorial Coliseum will be redesigned along with the swimming center
which will be occupied by a 3-storey shopping mall. The shopping mall will include
retailers, a food court, fast food restaurants, sports equipment stores, etc. The recreation
facility will also be included in this stretch of structures. The recreation area will house
facilities such as archery ranges and other rentable spaces.
The Ninoy Aquino Stadium will have the offices of different National Sports
Associations, board rooms, meeting rooms, multi- purpose halls and an amphitheater
along with the athletes’ dormitory, a small hotel, and the athlete’s center.
1.6 Definition of Terms
Art deco- a style of visual arts, architecture and design that first appeared in
France just before World War I. The distinguishing features of the style are
simple, clean shapes, often with a “streamlined” look; ornament that is

geometric or stylized from representational forms; and unusually varied, often
expensive materials, which frequently include man-made substances (plastics,
especially Bakelite; vita-glass; and ferroconcrete) in addition to natural ones
(jade, silver, ivory, obsidian, chrome, and rock crystal). Though Art Deco
objects were rarely mass-produced, the characteristic features of the style
reflected admiration for the modernity of the machine and for
the inherent design qualities of machine-made objects. (Texier, 2012)
(Hillier,1968)
Bleachers- are raised, tiered rows of benches found at sports fields and other
spectator events. Stairways provide access to the horizontal rows of seats, often
with every other step gaining access to a row of benches. Benches range from
simple planks to elaborate ones with backrests. Many bleachers are open to the
ground below so that there are only the planks to sit and walk on. Some
bleachers have vertical panels beneath the benches, either partially or
completely blocking the way to the ground. (Oxford English Dictionary, 2017)
Civilizations- the stage of human social development and organization that is
considered most advanced. (Oxford English Dictionary, 2017)
Cradle- a place where something originates of flourishes; a place of origin
(Oxford English Dictionary, 2017)

athletes used boxing and wrestling techniques, but also others, such as kicking
and holds, locks and chokes on the ground. The only things not acceptable were
biting, gouging out the opponent's eyes, and attacks on the genitals. (Georgiu,
A.V.,2008)
Pentathlon- The name is derived from Greek: combining the
words pente (five) and -athlon (competition) (Greek: πένταθλον). The first
pentathlon was documented in Ancient Greece and was part of the Ancient
Olympic Games. Five events were contested over one day for the Ancient
Olympic pentathlon, starting with the long jump, javelin throwing, and discus
throwing, followed by the stadion (a short foot race) and wrestling.

2. CHAPTER 2- REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 Sports
2.1.1 General
Sports has a long history of being an event or activity for the strongest, most
qualified participants. Greek and Spartan Olympics, for example requires their
Olympians to be of pure race and good standing in the society, because Olympic
winners were hailed as though they were the peak of human athleticism. Sports
is being viewed as a major competition of strength, skill and wisdom. Today,
those who thrive in sports are the strong, most athletic and skilled players, but
sports are also being played by common people as recreation, it becomes
embedded in the societies around the world.( Bryce, 1979)
When the homogenous social groups of people has been broken up by
different events in American history, sports has become one of the common
denominator of people. Sports as a past time brings people of different social
groups together. Sports has surpassed wars and even economic depressions.
“On the first of March, 1909, there gathered in the White House
without rebuke – almost without comment – a group selected not for
the purpose of state but for play alone. An ambassador was there, a
scout, a scientist, a soldier, and even president of the United States,
who addressed his guests as “men with whom in tennis, or hunting,
or riding, or walking, or boxing, I have played; with whom I have
been on the round-up, or in the mountains, or in the ranch country.””

As in the quotation, sports have always been a big part of human society,
sports brings people together in support of a team or an individual, or the idea
of bonding with each other. (Paxson,1917)
It was stated that Fijians were a talented race, some of them excelled in
sports like rugby and football. Serevi as one of their most notable sports icon,
played for Australia and New Zealand. In spite their talented players, Fiji has
never risen in the top standings in rugby because in general, Fijians are laid back
people and thinks of sports as fun and just for recreation. (Fiji, 2014)
2.2 Sports Facilities
Sports facilities has a high upfront and maintenance cost and gate revenues
seldom recoups for all of it, but it is one of the most consistent and important
source for a sports facility, the amount of sponsorships, advertisements and the
like, that the facility can get for the events the it hosts is also a big part of its
revenue.
The stadium or facility is divided into four zones, Zone 1 or the Activity
zone, Zone 2 or the Spectator zone or viewing area, Zone 3 or the Temporary
Safety Zone or Circulation Area, and Zone 4 or the Final Safety Zone or Outside
of the stadium. This zoning scheme is used to as a basis for an efficient design
of a sports stadium or facility.

2.3 Sports in the Philippines
Choi and Jolly, wrote that the history of the Filipinos and how women was
viewed, and how Filipinas used sports as a stepping stone for equality. Though
basketball, baseball and other sports were unknown to Filipinas prior to
American occupation, baseball matches for women became quite popular and
they are very enthusiastic about it. Athletic programs for girls were organized
by schools. Competitions soon rises and different teams competes. People were
fascinated and entertained by the games and recognized the capabilities of
women in sports.
Velasco cited different traits of how sports is embedded on the life of
Filipinos not just here in the Philippines but also abroad. He wrote that Filipino
always brings their love for sports wherever they go. Filipinos in the middle
east for example, makes time to play basketball with their peers and some
foreigners, whom they influenced into playing the game. Filipinos’ love for
sports shows not only in these situations but also on how avidly they support
Filipino athletes.
Athletes defined sport in both personal and relational terms. Most athletes
play sports for their family and to get by their daily life. Some athletes however
aspires to go to different levels of competition like the SEA Games, Asian
Games or even the Olympics.
The lack of clarity between the official vision and the personal interpretation
may be attributable to a mindset of survival, in that beyond achieving the

personal goals of personal discipline and providing for the family. For that
matter, neither do they go beyond survival to think of the future. Instead, the
focus is on the present. In a context where the future is often uncertain,
perhaps this way of thinking is understandable. As Bulatao, Jocano and others
have noted, this disjuncture and uncertainty are rooted in a colonial past, where
the official is imposed on the cultural, and where achievement is not always
rewarded accordingly but at times is even taken. This confusion has serious
effects for the future of sports in the Philippines. An institution such as the PSC
will have to take the cultural meanings of sports into account in designing its
policies. At the same time, the athletes will have to look beyond
their immediate situation into the possibilities for their future and be mindful
of their role as representations of the best of their country. (Peneyra & Jocano,
2013)
2.4 Sports Tourism
2.4.1 General
The World Tourism Organization (WTO) recognizes that sports tourism is
now an emerging market. Over the past twenty years, the interest in sports
especially elite sporting events has grown at a fast rate. Sports tourism events at
the international, national and regional levels had a direct effect of the
attendance of the competitors and/or spectators and accompanying persons, and
the indirect effect of the marketing of the destination which lead to the
subsequent tourism flows. This indirect effect mostly benefits big sporting
events that are expected to be of this nature. According to UN Secretary-General
Annan, providing access to physical education may cultivate them in learning
the ideas of teamwork and tolerance through experiencing real exhilaration.
Objectives of the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations have
given focus on achieving sports that would help work and build peace. Sports
Tourism is emerging as a key component of tourism supply. Major tourism
destinations are developing tourism product concepts revolving around pleasure
sports. These concepts enable destinations to stand out amongst their
competitors and increasing their competitive edge in the international arena,
attracting consumers who are keen on getting in touch with nature, and
interacting with the community to enjoy more healthy and interactive holidays.
There are several factors affecting the success of a sporting event or a sports
facility. The sports facility should house the sports that the community or its
target audience wants because hosting a sport that is not interesting for your
target audience will result in little to no spectators. Then, you have the place
attachment, some people goes to events where the structure or the building itself
have a distinct feature or characteristics that people may want to see. For
example, people go to the Sydney Opera House not because of the performance
inside the Opera House but because of the architecture. People often go to places
where they may not want to watch or participate in the events it hosts but wants
to experience the place. Another one is big events, If there are big events like
the Olympics or other major sporting events, be it local of international, people
flock to the venues to watch these events.(Brown, Smith & Assaker, 2016)
In the study of Zagidullin of the road traffic management in the city during
sporting events, he discussed the variables affecting the traffic conditions of the
venues e.g. number of participants, venue, duration, scope of sports, as well as
transport infrastructure. All of which are important in making sure that
movement of traffic in the events are going well. One of the problems is the
mismatch of the transport infrastructure and the number of participants. The
demand of major sporting events are too high for some cities and thus creates a
lot of traffic congestion around the city. He proposed some dedicated road
schemes for the model of traffic management. His research is the process of
transport flow in a road section.
2.4.2 Philippines’ Sports Tourism
Padin stated that the Philippines have a competitive edge in sports tourism.
Philippine sports tourism is booming especially in water sports. Philippine
waters has been recently a go-to spot for divers and other water sports
enthusiast. The Department of Tourism, is implementing initiatives to promote
water sports especially surfing. Other sport that has put the Philippines in the
spotlight again, is the National Basketball Team that competed in the previous
Olympics. The passion of Filipino people for sports is one of the reasons why
local sports tourism is still alive.
Hong Kong-based Action Asia said that the Philippines has all the
components to be one of the world’s great adventure travel destinations. The

Philippine landscape is a natural haven for adventure activities and sports
tourism. The 7,107 islands offers every conceivable way for adventure seekers.
Yet, the country is still unknown outside Asia. While the country has already
started to recognize that sports tourism is one ideal opportunity to spur tourism
growth in the country, it has not yet done its task of developing the sector. The
Philippine Convention and Visitors Corporation (PCVC), supported by the
Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and Philippine Sports Commission
(PSC) and participated in by the country’s sports and travel trade suppliers
organized in November 7-30, 2003 the 1st Sports Tourism and Adventure
Travel Show. Nevertheless, no concrete plan or follow-up has been done to
sustain its development mainly due to lack of financial support.
The Philippines has hosted a number of international sporting events. Sadly,
sports tourism opportunities, and especially the tourism benefits, are sometimes
lost or not maximized in all these hosted events because the linkages between
the sports and tourism sectors are not yet established. Sporting activities, have
historically been organized by sporting organizations for solely sporting
purposes. Maximizing the tourism potential of the events has often not been a
major consideration for the organizers. Moreover, sporting organizations
depends on volunteers, and may not have well developed business or
organizational skills or experience. Both of these factors can lead to lost
tourism opportunities.
Certainly, there are still a lot of issues which needs to be addressed, such as:
coordination of the sports tourism industry, education and training, regulatory

issues (e.g. visas, customs) on the industry, infrastructure requirements of the
industry, research and data collection requirements and evaluation of the
economic benefits of sports tourism. The Philippines, by all means, can do so
much in terms of developing the said market. Concrete mechanisms are yet to
be institutionalized to maximize the sports tourism market.
2.4.3 Economic Impact
Economic impact in sporting events can be defined as the net change in
an economy resulting from a sport event. The change is caused by activity
involving the acquisition, operation, development, and use of sport facilities
and services (Lieber & Alton, 1983). These in turn generate visitors’
spending, public spending, employment opportunities, and tax revenue.
Specifically, the economic impacts of expenditure are composed of direct,
indirect, and induced effects. Direct effects are the purchases needed to meet
the increased demand of visitors for goods and services. Indirect effects are
the ripple effect of additional rounds of re-circulating the initial spectators’
dollars. Induced effects are the increase in employment and household
income that result from the economic activity fueled by the direct and
indirect effects (Dawson, Blahna, & Keith, 1993; Howard & Crompton,
1995). Economic impact of a sporting event in a country or place is a
subjective matter. Because not everyone’s method of measuring the social
impact of an event is the same.

Hosting a sporting event has benefits for the affected communities like
increased community visibility, positive income and enhanced community
image. However, some say that sporting events subsidized by the
government always results in positive economic impact. The economic
impact of a sporting event may yield some positive and negative results
depending on the community that will be affected by it. Firstly, some
sporting events that is financed by the government should be studied first to
bring positive economic benefits for it to be beneficial. Then, some
businesses and industries related to sports will greatly benefit from these
events, thus, bringing more income for the community.
Conducting an economic impact study is important because it helps
evaluate the economic development of a community. Even if the palpable
effects of these events feels like it is negative like the traffic congestion. The
other intangible things are beneficial for us in the long run.
The Philippine government, under the administration of President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo, recognizes and establishes the importance of sports
tourism as a facilitator for growth. On the other hand, sports have always
been an integral part of the nation’s life and it is increasingly being
recognized that sporting events and activities have the potential to be a
major tourism attraction. In October 2009, President Arroyo posed a
challenge to the DOT and to both the sports and tourism sectors to continue
maximizing efforts and resources of an archipelagic country like the

Philippines to go the distance. A complete message sent to the DOT is read
as follows:
“In 2001, the world has finally opened access to previously
restricted opportunities in sports and tourism when the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the International Olympic Committee
(IOC) hosted a major international conference in Barcelona, Spain
to define the development issues and challenges faced by the fusion
of sports and tourism. This global breakthrough has inspired the
Department of Tourism to launch sports tourism in the Philippines
in 2002. A 3-week celebration through the 1st Sports and Adventure
Travel Show held at the Intramuros Clamshell signaled the
packaging and promotion of the Philippines as a one-stopaction-
destination. Play Philippines! From then on, the Department of
Tourism initiated a number of programs and activities to cater to a
strong tourist demand for sports experiences. Indeed, there are now
a high number of travelers seeking active and passive involvement
in sports. The expanding demand to cater to this phenomenon is now
a challenge that the Department of Tourism has to seriously
consider. With the magnificent topography of Philippine
archipelago, there is no reason “Play Philippines!” will not go the
distance on a global scale.”

are mostly industrial and low income residential areas where there are a lot of vacant
land and underused industrial sites.
Tourism and entertainment commercial activities are within the Ermita and Malate
area, in the Malate area is where the site is located.
Figure 4
4.2.2 Brief History
Before the arrival of the Spaniards Manila, which was called Maynilad at that time
is a small settlement at the mouth of Pasig River. It was a thriving community under
Matanda and Rajah Sulayman. When the Spanish came they found a prosperous
community, recognizing the strategic position as a trading and military outpost, Legazpi
declared the area as the capital of Spain’s new colony. The Spaniards enlisted services
of the Chinese to build the Intramuros. There were Ermita, Malate and San Fernando
de Dilao on the left bank of the Pasig in the beginning of the 19th century, on the right
bank was Binondo, Tondo. Santa Cruz, Quiapo, San Miguel and Sampaloc.On July 31,
1901 after the independence from Spain in 1898, Manila became the first chartered city
by virtue of Act 183 of the Philippine Commission
In 1904, Daniel H. Burnham and his assistant Pierce Anderson came to Manila to
study to study its existing conditions. In 1906 the report with the detailed plans were
given to the Board, its plans were patterned after Burnham’s design of San Francisco.
The city was turned into ruins after the Second World War, historical landmarks
were destroyed along with thousands of lives of its residents. The National Urban
Planning Commission were set up to address the devastated city. The city was divided
into 4 congressional districts: District I: Tondo; District II: San Nicolas, Binondo,
Quiapo and Santa Cruz; District III: Sampaloc and San Miguel; District IV: Intramuros,
Port Area, Ermita, Malate, Paco, Pandacan and Santa Ana.
Reclamation project along Manila Bay where done when 278 hectares were added
to Tondo area. It is immediately occupied by squatters. It became the site for the city’s
first housing project. The city is currently divided into six districts after the 1987
constitution. The city today has problems with high concentrations of people along with
shortage of housing and employment, as well as traffic congestion and problems with
safety, peace and healthcare among others. The present administration has begun a
revitalization program for the city.

5.1.1 Mission
With our clients and with the host governments of our ports, we have long-term
contractual obligations, defined in measurable outputs, in time-bound deliverables.
Then there are our inherent commitments as a business organization: to provide
excellent growth opportunities for our employees; to build successful, mutually
rewarding businesses with our corporate partners; and to deliver equitable shareholder
returns.
Last but certainly not the least, there are the day-to-day, transaction-per-
transaction commitments we uphold: to provide superior services marked by efficiency,
reliability, professionalism and profitability. It is in fulfilling these on a daily basis that
we are ultimately able, over the long term, to meet and even surpass our contractual
obligations, and to honor our commitments to employees, partners, and shareholders.

Leadership in global port management is, for ICTSI, a means to a larger end:
the vision of building long-term shareholder value.
The conditions of the natural environment where we operate may be changing
in many, perhaps even permanent ways; the economic and political situation in the
different regions may be constantly fluctuating as well. The technologies we deploy

and depend on, for much of our operations, are rapidly evolving at a pace considered
unprecedented in human history.
Nevertheless, despite such highly variable conditions, our vision remains fixed.
As we continue to pursue optimization of efficiency, leading to an increasingly
seamless integration of transport and distribution systems, our direct clients – and, as a
consequence, those they also represent and serve – gain a competitive advantage in the
world of commerce. In the larger context, the host governments of the countries where
we operate these ports gain in economic terms as well. Ultimately and for the long term,
such gains redound to our shareholders.

Archery
Indoor Target Archery
 Access to the range is only possible from
behind the shooting line.
 Any other access is locked during
practice.
 There is access to all emergency exits, but
if some are in front of the shooting line entrance,
access into the hall through these must be
restricted.
 If there are windows or glass in the wall
Figure 19 behind the target line that can be hit by an arrow
that misses the target, an appropriate arrow stop covers these windows.
 If there are side windows less than 2m high, they are protected with an
appropriate cover or with a shield.
 Suitable barriers are erected around the range to keep spectators back. The
barriers are at least 10m from the ends of the target line and a minimum of 5m
behind the waiting line.
 No spectators are allowed beyond the target line. Where the size of the hall does
not require the erection of side barriers no spectators are allowed beyond the
barrier situated behind the waiting line.

consider the following criteria:
1.2.1 The varying sizes and structures of persons of both sexes, their
reaches and their lines of sight at both the standing and sitting positions.
1.2.2 The dimensional data of the technical aids of disabled persons.
Included in the second consideration are the dimensions of wheelchairs;
the minimum space needed for locking and unlocking leg braces plus
the range of distance of crutches and other walking aids from persons
using such devices. By applying at this very early stage dimensional
criteria which take into account wheelchair usage, the physical
environment will ultimately encourage and enable wheelchair users to
make full use of their physical surroundings.
1.2.3 The provision of adequate space for wheelchair maneuvering
generally insures adequate space for disabled persons equipped with
other technical aids or accompanied by assistants. In determining the
minimum dimensions for furniture and fixtures accessible to disabled
persons, the following anthropometric data shall serve as guides for
design:

space under tables for wheelchair users is 0.70 m.
− Counter height shall be placed at a level comfortable to
disabled persons' reach.
1.3 Basic Physical Planning Requirements. No group of people shall be
deprived of full participation and enjoyment of the environment or be made
unequal with the rest due to any disability. In order to achieve this goal adopted
by the United Nations, certain basic principles shall be applied:
1.3.1 ACCESSIBILITY. The built environment shall be designed so that
it shall be accessible to all people. This means that no criteria shall
impede the use of facilities by either the handicapped or non-disabled
citizens.
1.3.2 REACHABILITY. Provisions shall be adapted and introduced to
the physical environment so that as many places or buildings as possible
can be reached by all.

6.3 Output of Interviews
According to the athletes, the RSMC is one of their stepping stones on becoming
an athlete, it made them realize that competing in it is a privilege, as not everyone
or every athlete will have a chance of playing inside the complex.
Some athletes, cited that there are a few improvements that they think should
be made in order to better not just the playing experience of the athlete, but also
their safety. One said that, the materials on the swimming center’s bleachers is too
slippery for the swimmers going in and out of the pool. Others said that, the Rizal
Coliseum’s lack of air conditioning and ventilation could have been a major cause
of the decline on the use of the said facility, which is also backed by Engineer Oscar
of the PSC, he said that if the blowers that are original was used for ventilation is
working, it could have been more comfortable for the users.
The backflow of the estero/ creek beside the site is also a problem according to
Engr. Oscar. He said that because of the road constructions around the area which
makes the surrounding roads higher, the complex is now being a basin when the
rain starts pouring hard. He said that one of the problems, aside from the flooding,
is the lack of public parking for big events, he said that spectators just uses the
parking of nearby malls, which is not a good idea if the complex is to host a big
event like SEA games.
6.4 Output of Site Observation
The site is currently used by the Philippine Sports Commission and its renters. The
side along Pablo Ocampo Street is where the condominiums and the street vendors
currently is. This side is where the entrance for the PSC and the whole complex is
located. The side along the Adriatico Street, on the other hand, is currently used as a
transport terminal by orange jeepneys. This side of the complex is where the façade of
the Football stadium and baseball stadium is located. Along the Adriatico Street is not
as alive as the street of P. Ocampo, there are only a few people and cars passing along
the street, on the other side of the road is where the Harrison Place is located, and the
complex’s façade is facing the parking area of the commercial establishment. Other
buildings and establishments is also on the Adriatico Street, like the Philippine National
Bank (PNB).
