[hugodiekonig]

sana nga matuloy na talaga ito, hindi lang puro PR.

[xxxriainxxx]

Press Release lang yan- That senile mayor trying to be relevant after the bus hijack almost ended his career- if he's sincere- unahin nya ang mga batang sumisinghot ng rugby sa tapat ng City Hall tanghaling tapat.

[normand]

sus wala ng pag-asa to sa dami ng squatter dyan sa port area. unahin nya muna linisin yong squatter.

[maniLaboy_me]

ang concentration ng squatters, sa BASECO hindi sa South harbor, meron din pero di kasing dami sa baseco

[xxxriainxxx]

Hindi nya yan malilinis kasi mga botante nya yan.

[boy_turista]

kaka approve lang ni PNOY ang pabahay sa mga squatters. Priority ang MANILA, PASAY at QUEZON CITY

kaya hindi malayo na hindi mabawasan ang squatter sa maynila, since may verbal approval na galing kay PNOY, we will see a BETTER FUTURE sa MANILA BAY SIDE,

MANILA SOUTH HARBOR

The conceptual framework for the development of the South Harbor Expanded Port Zone (SHEPZ) is hinged on the integrated, interactive groupings of multistory and multi-use structures intersperse with appropriately landscaped courts, plazas, pedestrian breezeways, and street corridors. The SHPEZ mixed-use development will be less a collection of independent buildings and more a grouping of tiered and articulated structures of open and closed spaces and interconnecting passageways further becoming a true Metropolitan Center.




kasama po ba ito???

Nagkaroon na ng pabahay dyan- pero naging beneficiary ang mga kabit ng mga local officials.

[dvbaicrviser]

Wag ulit pauupin si Lim, malamang mangyayari ito at hindi pa baduy kalalabasan. Hindi nga niya malinis paligid ng city hall yan pa kaya magagawa niya.

Para magkaroon ng urban renewal ang Maynila, umpisahan sa mga nakaupo ang pagpapalit.

MANILA, Philippines - Mayor Alfredo Lim is eyeing the city of Manila as the country’s next financial district, comparable to New York’s Wall Street.

In an exclusive interview with The STAR at a restaurant in Manila, Lim said the groundbreaking for the financial center, which will be located in the South Harbor, will hopefully happen next year. He said he set his plan in motion in 2007, during his previous term as Manila mayor.

He said no less than President Aquino has already approved the plan for his dream to make Manila comparable to cities in the United States, Canada and Europe, as well as in Singapore and Hong Kong.

“We have envisioned this financial center for Manila. In that 20-hectare area in Port Area… at the back of the National Power Corp. (and) Department of Public Works and Highways (buildings), these (warehouses) will be demolished. But we will put up condominiums with a minimum of 30 stories. This will be done,” he said.

Lim said Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo has agreed to the plan, and they are trying to set a meeting with Department of Transportation and Communications Secretary Manuel Roxas II “because that area is supervised by the Philippine Ports Authority under the DOTC.”

He said the streets will be widened once the old, dilapidated buildings in the area are demolished. “Just like a Wall Street environment,” Lim said.

He added that businessman Enrique Razon is also developing his property in North Harbor to expand his business.

Building high-rises

Lim said at the moment, several condominiums are being built in different areas of Manila in order to attract investors as well as generate employment for the city’s residents.

He said many children of traders who started out in Manila were educated in the United States and prefer to live in Makati City. “They want to go to work in a place like New York, that’s why they go to Makati,” the mayor said.

He said the planned high-rise condominiums in Port Area would also be suited to businessmen since they are near the Intramuros golf course.

“That’s what business executives like to do during their free time. They don’t have to go far. They could go there any time of the day,” Lim said.

He noted that these condominiums will face Manila Bay, and their occupants will be able to view the sunset and enjoy the “terrific” ambience.

Lim said the most valuable property in the United States, Canada and Europe are located in the waterfront, where the value of the property would increase. “Naturally, the value would also increase once the high-rise condominiums would be built fronting Manila Bay. And this would have a chain reaction (raising value of all property in the area),” he said.

He said this plan had been suggested during the time of then President Fidel Ramos and then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, but the PPA was the “stumbling block” in the project.

He said the two presidents were interested. “I told them to give priority to lessees,” he said, but the project never materialized.

Pushing through

Lim said Manila was “left out,” ignored by developers because of an ordinance that limited the height of condominiums to only 19 stories.

He said when he was elected in 2007, he told the city government to follow the national law, which does not prohibit the construction of high-rise buildings in Manila.

Lim said they plan to pursue the project through the government’s Public-Private Partnership program. “This would be a good pioneering project,” he said.

He believes his administration has improved the city’s skyline because many condominiums, at least 30 stories high, are being built.

Lim said a 57-story condominium being built along Ongpin street is the tallest so far. Developer Anchor Land Holdings started construction three months ago.

The mayor said among the buildings under construction are a 53-story structure near the Admiral Hotel and the 50-story Birch Towers in Malate, being done by a Swiss developer. He said there will be six additional Birch Towers buildings in Manila.

There are five high-rise condos that serve as dormitories and boarding houses in the University Belt.

Post Office building eyed as hotel

Lim said another plan is to develop the Manila Post Office building in Lawton into a hotel.

“That’s an antique building to be converted into a hotel. There is a go-signal from President Aquino,” he said, adding that its façade will remain untouched.

Lim said a fisherman’s wharf, 100 meters long and 40 meters wide, will be built along the coast. He clarified that there will be no reclamation, though there will be souvenir shops and a shopping center.

He said dolphins will be on exhibit and the government will hold dragon boat races.

“This will be a continuation of our plans this second term. By the end of 2016, the face of Manila will change,” Lim said.

Great news! I hope they would also fix all those hanging wires entangled across manila along the streets and burried them instead.

Hoy mayour bumenta na yan, nalugi na nga eh, wala ng maniniwala sayo. 2 terms ka ng mayor at wala ka namang nagawa, nabulok lang ang manila. Unang una ayusin mo muna ang syudad.
