Basque company Meridian Corporation, presided by Aitor Totoricagüena Arana, Pedro Totoricagüena Arana and Mikel Plaza, will open a new court for Basque pelota on May 1st in the Philippines called Sport Valey Jai-Alai and will be situated at Santa Ana Cagayan Valley, in the Northeast of the island.

The enclosure will be located fifty meters far from the beach, next to a superb resort, and the team will be made up of 34 Basque pelota players, ten of them Basque. The complex will be able to hold up to four thousand people and the court will be nearly of 52 meters.

Aitor Totoricagüena is very glad about the development of the events because after so many years of work and uncertainty, his dream is about to come true.

In this sense he pointed out the great importance of opening this pelota court in a time when many pelota courts have been closed, and in a place considered as Special Economic Zone and Freeport in constant growth.
