RIGHT IN time for the 27th anniversary of Muntinlupa’s cityhood (and the declaration of Alert Level 1 across Metro Manila), the city inaugurated the Muntinlupa Aquatic Center.

It is an Olympic-sized pool that can host swimming and water polo competitions, as well as scuba diving sessions, water safety training, and other similar activities. Its bleachers can seat up to 1,200 people.

“Inaasahan [itong] maging training center ng mga atletang Muntinlupeño,” said a spokesperson for the Muntinlupa Public Information Office.
