Manila City Mayor Joseph Ejercito Estrada has approved another multi-billion-peso reclamation project in Manila Bay – envisioned as a 318-hectare commercial and tourism hub along the shorelines of Roxas Boulevard. Dubbed “Manila Waterfront City,” the project is the fourth reclamation venture approved by the mayor in less than two years. The PRA, as the central regulatory body for reclamation projects, will evaluate the requirements to determine the “soundness and viability” of the project. Three other reclamation projects have been approved by the mayor. The construction of another project, the 148-hectare “Solar City,” which was approved prior to Estrada’s term, will start soon.
