Before, Tuguegarao City's People's Gymnasium, which could accomodate around 3, 000 people, had been the primary venue for the biggest events which the city hosted. It is in this gymnasium where various concerts by celebrities and musicians like Hale, Parokya ni Edgar, Sam Milby among others entertained Tuguegaraoenos with their musical prowess. Basketball superstars like Alvin Patrimonio and Marlou Aquino likewise wowed their fans with their superb basketball moves in games held in the gymnasium.
However, the glitter that the People's Gymnasium once had has already been lost nowadays as it has not received substantial attention from the people and the local government especially over the past years. The place hasn't been maintained effectively and this is evident in the litters that abound the gym, the dust which seems like another coating of paint, damaged windows and other similar stuffs and many many many more.Though the People's Gymnasium still holds some events under its roof like trade fairs, inter - agency and inter - barangay basketball tournaments, the state it is currently in makes it unfit to host bigger events like the ones it usually hosts in the past.
Hopefully, the city officials would soon take notice of the gym's conditions and take appropriate actions. A huge makeover will be needed to reinstate the value that the People's Gymnasium, located at Mabini Street corner Luna Street, Tuguegarao City, previously had.
Here are some of the gym's latest photos:
