This is nice. Legazpi City should also have expressways, LRT or BRT, an international standard seaport and airport.

Coke to use new Legazpi terminal for expansion in Bicol
By Celso Amo (The Philippine Star) Updated October 19, 2009 12:00 AM

LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines — Beverage giant Coca Cola will be using the new integrated transportation terminal in Legazpi City as its springboard for expansion in the Albay province and the rest of the Bicol region. Virgilio Mindo, Coca Cola area sales manager for Southern Luzon, said the new Legazpi Grand Central Terminal is the most modern in Southern Luzon.

“Using this facility is part of our strategy to dominate the market here,” Mindo told The STAR during the terminal’s formal opening last Oct. 5. Earlier, Robert M. Regalado, Coca Cola Bottlers Philippines territorial sales manager, signed a marketing support agreement with property developer and terminal operator LKY Development Corp. in becoming the official beverage supplier for the P300-million facility which will include commercial establishments such as restaurants, bars, a supermarket, a sprawling hardware store, among others.

The partnership will make Coca Cola the official beverage in all restaurants and refreshment joints in the 3.9-hectare terminal. It will also mean preferential rights for Coke as beverage sponsor for all major events in the facility.

Ruben T. Santos, vice president of the LKY Group, said that it is a privilege for their company to play a key role in achieving Coca Cola’s vision to turn Bicol into “Coca Cola Country” and the company is starting with the Legazpi Grand Central Terminal where thousands of commuters from various towns and cities of the region would converge.

“The Legazpi terminal is the perfect vehicle for Coke to further consolidate their dominant position in Bicol,” said Santos. “From this facility, Coke will have the capability to reach their customer base in the cities and towns of Albay, Camarines Sur, Sorsogon and even Masbate and Catanduanes. This terminal will eventually also service buses bound for the Visayas and Mindanao,” he added.

The Legazpi Grand Central Terminal is now a new landmark in this city complementing the new demand of the city’s business and tourism centers for an efficient, modern and integrated transport system. During the simple blessing that officially kicked off the terminal’s operations, Legazpi Mayor Noel Rosal said he expects the terminal to alter the business landscape of the city by declogging the city center and transferring the central business district to its immediate vicinity.

The terminal is strategically located on what is called the Alternate Road and Tahao Road. It is adjacent to the Ibalong Center for Recreation (ICR), the city’s convention center which Rosal will soon restore. The terminal will also host the street dancing competition on Oct. 30 during the culmination of this year’s Ibalong Festival.

Aside from Coca Cola, the Jollibee group and Save More Supermarket are in the final stages of agreement to locate at the premises of the Legazpi terminal. These companies welcome the concept of a modern terminal with all the comfort features and amenities of a shopping mall, the first in the country.

Patterned after the Bonifacio High Street model of development, the Legazpi Grand Central Terminal integrates the terminals for buses, jeepneys and filcabs (FX and vans) in a commercial development complete with restaurants, bars, retail outlets, a supermarket and establishments for rest and recreation. Realized through a build-operate-and-transfer partnership with the Legazpi government, LKY Development Corporation plans to replicate the concept of the terminal in several key cities in the country.

It looks like road construction is now very near the small peninsula in Lamba.

Wide sidewalk/promenade

View of Mayon from the boulevard

Newly built road with no landscaping yet

Construction work has reached the opposite end of the cove

Zoomed-in version:

The water is clear and clean

[dx] · November 5th, 2009, 05:52 AM

Construction work continues

The view from here is gorgeous (Mayon, Ligñon and Kapuntukan in one frame)

Just like what @Monsi mentioned, additional land area was created in the construction of the road. This was once a cove.

A truck busy transporting rocks and boulders.
