Taguig City formally opened the Felino Marcelino Sr. Baseball Stadium in Ususan on Tuesday, October 7. The new facility reflects the city’s drive to strengthen sports development and promote wellness and active living among Taguigeños, especially the youth.

Located along Cayetano Boulevard, the stadium can accommodate 850 spectators. It features spacious dugouts, a bullpen, a first-aid room, and designated batting and practice areas. The complex also houses the City Sports Development Office, which will oversee the implementation of various sports programs and events.

The Felino Marcelino Sr. Baseball Stadium is envisioned to become a hub for sports and wellness, hosting activities such as softball, football, boxing, archery, darts, biking, and other athletic events. It will also serve as a venue for tournaments, formations, and community gatherings.

Beyond being a sports facility, the stadium stands as a symbol of Taguig’s investment in community development and youth empowerment. It aims to encourage young Taguigeños to embrace sports, develop their skills, and cultivate values such as discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

In her message, Mayor Lani Cayetano expressed pride in the completion of the new stadium, noting its role in enhancing sports and wellness opportunities in the city:

“Ito ay isang baseball stadium na pwede nating ipagmalaki. Hindi lang ito para sa enjoyment ng mga Taguigeño, kundi maaari rin tayong mag-host ng competitions. Ang pangarap natin ay makaakay ito ng maraming kabataang Taguigeño na maengganyo sa larangan ng sports at mapangalagaan ang kanilang wellness.”

Mayor Lani highlighted that the stadium reflects Taguig’s openness to collaboration and shared experiences:

“This stadium is meant to be shared — not only with Taguigeños but also with fellow Filipinos and our friends from around the world. This will surely put Taguig on the map. We will continue to work hard so that more facilities like this will rise in the city.”

Councilor Rodil “Tikboy” Marcelino, son of the late Felino Marcelino Sr., thanked the city government for dedicating the facility in his father’s honor:

“It’s an honor for our family that this stadium is named after my father. Umasa po kayo na aming iingatan ang pasilidad na ito. Very thankful po kami sa Taguig, lalo na kay Mayor Lani Cayetano.”

The playing field was also inaugurated last May, adding to the city’s growing roster of modern public facilities, which are designed not just for competition, but to inspire young athletes and bring communities together through sports.

The inauguration concluded with an exhibition game between the Taguig Little Generals and the De La Salle Zobel Baseball Team, showcasing the young athletes’ skill, passion, and camaraderie. The friendly match marked the first official use of the newly inaugurated Felino Marcelino Sr. Baseball Stadium — a facility that will serve as a training ground and home for aspiring athletes in Taguig.
