True. I think this area is a prone to earthquake liquefaction. If this were reclaimed 100 years ago, then the soil may have stabilized but the reclamation was done only few years ago(1977). It is even more recent than the Urayasu area in Japan (where the Tokyo Disneyland is and reclaimed 1962) and Urayasu suffered liquefaction during last years earthquake.
I would not buy a condo around this area.

Speaking about condo, I just saw in a separate thread and Bayworld is already marketing ugly looking condos in their area of Entertainment City. It is just a big disappointment that Pagcor is allowing this type of development here. This is such a prime area to use for residential condos (and again ugly looking ones). They should instead put up parks (theme parks and otherwise) or gardens (like the recently opened Marina Bay Park in Singapore), or maybe theaters (patterned after London West End or USA's NEw York) where we can watch Phantom or Miss Saigon, or maybe museums.

I am starting to think that this Entertainment City is nothing but a hype.

I prefer cock fighting arena. It is more indigenous and identifiable to the Philippine culture, just like bull fighting is to Spain.

Cock fighting, pitbull fighting as well as bull fights are starting to be look down upon as cruelty to animals. In fact these fights should be banned all together. I heard that there are moves to lessen if not totally ban bull fights in countries where these are being performed.

This would deter tourists not encourage tourists - bull fighting is ceasing in some parts of Spain as the last thing tourists want to see is a bull fight

Hi all,

Which Condo developments within the Entertainment City is up for pre-selling? Or is there a separate thread that I just can't see?

Thanks
Will

Racetrack operator eyes larger mart

Manila Jockey Club is also exploring the installation of more betting stations in PAGCOR’s planned Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City in Manila Bay, where four big-name groups are currently building integrated casino complexes envisioned to be the next gaming destinations in the region.

“Betting stations [there] are a possibility,” Mr. Reyno confirmed.

Just a month ago I didn't notice any illegal settlers around the Muslim Mosque and now they are growing rapidly. I guess, just in time for 2013 election.

Just attended the Bayshore Residences presentation last Saturday amd was inforned they're building two (2) high-end hotels beside the mall and one of them are Ritz Carlton. Currently, they're pre-selling clusters 1 & 2.

2.) Warner Bros. Theme Park in the Philippines ? nada while in Singapore they got Universal Studios Singapore.
3.) Manila Eye ? nothing ! while in Singapore they got the Singapore Flyer. MOA eye ?? ang bulinggit nun !
4.) Bagong Nayong Pilipino Theme Park ? got cancelled !
5.) Singapore got cable cars, sa Pilipinas wala !
6.) F1 race track wala ! sa Macau meron !
7.) Monorails, wala din ! sa Singapore meron
SHUT UP KAYA
because you have no IDEA HOW MUCH YEARS OF HARDSHIP THE FILIPINOS HAD. for more than 600 years of hardship starting the Spanish time
We have all of those except the F1 race tract
1. some japanese guys are investing in a tower which is planned in quezon or etc..(tokyo tower type)

2. there will all ready be A DISNEY LAND IN CLARK (watch the news you di**head)

3. MOA EYE duhh finished

4 there are many theme parks in the philippines anyway

5. TAGAYTAY got cable carts to :P

6. we have some race tracks its just no f1 (but the time will come)

7. UP monorail under-construction (theres even a thread for that)

8. there was A BULLET TRAIN 30% complete ( they stopped it for awhile since 2008 because there were issues in the contractor AND OUR PRESIDENT IS A CERTIFIED SAVER but also expect that the bullet train will be revived because many companies are interested about the bullet train and there are also plans to transfer our main airport to Clark (one of the best airports in Asia according to an article) so they will build a bullet train to get to Clark from manila .


I CANT BELIEVE HOW YOU SAY SUCH WORDS THAT OUR COUNTRY IS NOT BETTER THAN SINGAPORE WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY RESOURCES AND OIL IS ALSO COMING SOON WHEN WE GET SPRATLY ISLANDS

What's in a tower? We could have that during Ramos' time, though, the people dismissed the idea because that was not a necessity. We can be prosperous without that.

I was told that the Angeles mayor is in talks with Disneyland people for creating one in Angeles City, though, no definite result yet. Anyway, this is exciting.

I prefer MOA Eye than Singapore Flyer for the sake of riding. It's a bore spending 30-45 minutes seeing the same view. I was not surprised that I was not the only one who got bored riding Singapore Flyer. My friends avoided that wheel. A friend had to tell stories to her bored children while on board SF.

Yes, we have a race track in Subic, etc.

Clark is ranked as the world's #3 airport. Nice!

Not only Spratlys, it is believed that Benham Rise contains huge gas/oil deposits.

Even Singapore is envious of what we have. We can expand our economy greater than what they have now.
