THE selection of schools that will house the contingents of Pasigarbo sa Sugbo that will be held in Carcar City, southern Cebu next month will be made through a raffle, according to Cebu 5th district Provincial Board Member Andrei "Red" Duterte, chairman of the Committee on Tourism.

Duterte told SunStar Cebu that they have already have a list of schools that the contingents from the 50 municipalities and cities in the province may use.

Carcar City Mayor Patrick Barcenas had earlier declared that 23 schools had already been chosen to house the participants.

"Mag dugang mi og mga bleachers. We are looking to rent additional bleachers nga maka-accommodate og additional 500 to 1000 so maximum capcacity if ever 8,000 ang capacity," he added.

(We will add bleachers. We are looking to rent additional bleachers that can accommodate additional 500 to 1,000 people, to increase the maximum capacity to 8,000 if possible).
