Members of the Philippine Amateur Sepaktakraw Association (PASTA), led by its president Karen Caballero, made public their opposition to the proposed selling of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex (RMSC). In her consultation with the sepak takraw community, Caballero said the historic RMSC has played a pivotal role in their success and mentioned several reasons why they don’t agree to the selling of the 83-year old sports complex in Vito Cruz in Manila. “In transforming the game from a mere backyard sport to a world class standard, sepak takraw will continue to need a playing venue of international standards. Caballero said the Ninoy Aquino Indoor Arena inside the RMSC is still at par with the international standards of sepak takraw. “All those interested groups know where to pour in their help since they know where the national team is located for both practice and billeting,” said Caballero.
