Gary Camacho, acting manager of CUC’s power division was at the Francisco M. Palacios Baseball Field yesterday afternoon furnishing himself a copy of the tournament schedule.
He also wanted to know from the organizing committee, how many innings can the longest baseball game run.
Camacho said they have to know exactly how long the game is going to take as they try to understand the needs of the event.
Like what they did with the Oceania tournaments, Camacho said they want to take a look at the possible situation during the sports events.
Susupe where the two big sports events are presently going on was supposedly among those to be affected by CUC load shedding but organizers of Oceania and Asia-Pacific Baseball League have asked the power agency to spare if not the entire village, at least the venue of the two major sports events on the island.
The CUC, Camacho had earlier said originally scheduled two hours of power interruption a day in villages on rotation basis. But due to additional problem with another engine in the power plant, they were not able to fully follow resulting to more than two hours of power outages.
And despite all that, the CUC has successfully kept the venue of Oceania and Asia-Pacific meet out of darkness since last Saturday.
The CUC, Camacho said understands the magnitude of the sports events, and “we believe we did something positive for the community.”
Asia Pacific tournament director, Mike Borja said the CUC has been so accommodating to the needs of NMI’s sports organizations. He said, they commend the utility agency for assuring power during the tournaments.
The committee also would like to commend Mark Palacios and the other volunteers for assisting the Parks and Recreation division personnel headed by Joe Lizama in preparing the baseball field.
Personnel from the Department of Public Works had also been at the scene repairing the fence.
