Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City (PAGCOR City) 2012 Updates

(Updated: July 2012) Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City Manila, also called Bagong Nayong Pilipino Manila Bay Tourism City or simply PAGCOR City, is a Las Vegas-like, multi-billion dollar entertainment development at the 100-hectare reclaimed land in Parañaque City, an area south of Mall of Asia. The master plan was shown to the public early 2007 which was initiated by the former PAGCOR Chairman Efraim Geniuno.

The US$20B project initially includes a 665-m (2,182-ft) tall PAGCOR Observatory Tower, believed to become the second tallest structure is the world after Burj Khalifa; a breathtaking Manila Eye, Philippine version of London Eye; a high-speed monorail transit, which will connect the main hub to the airport; PAGCOR Arena; residential complexes; integrated shopping complex; commercial and financial centers; deluxe hotels; casinos and resorts.

Since the government doesn’t have enough money to make this dream development a reality, the help of investors are much needed. Philippines’ SM Investment Corp., Bloombury Investments Holdings, Inc. and Alliance Global Group Inc., Japan’s Aruze Corporation (now known as Universal Entertainment Corp.) and Malaysia’s Genting Berhad (through Hongkong Genting which tied with Alliance Global to form Travellers International Hotel Group) are few of the prominent names in real estate and community development field that fill the list of stakeholders.

List below show the updates of the project. The Development name is linked to the latest news regarding the updates of the project.

  • Also, people who rent a Makati apartment or condo can be considered fortunate due to shopping centers and other establishments and businesses are located nearby.

  • If you wish for a more relaxing alternative to the hustle and bustle of Makati living but wish to be near your Makati office, then a Bonifacio Global City condo is for you.

  • Hope the goverment will pushed for the contruction of a museum within the Bay City or Pagcor City. It could be a priceless investment too.

  • what the hell why the PAGCOR Tower was scrapped, politics scrapped it, those assholes in the government should be the one to be scrapped. PAGCOR TOWER WILL PUT AS IN THE MAP as it symbolizes that we have a strong economy and self sustain country

    • The major reason why it was scrapped was due to some height restrictions/limitations (the site is close to the airport and the height of the structures within the area are regulated by CAAP). Secondly, there are no investors who’ll push the construction of the tower.

  • ano ba talaga? under construction or scraped? ANYBODY! ANSWER ME CORRECTLY!

  • Ok, now it says it’s under going construction on wiki. first it was a proposal, than it was scrapped, then it says it’s under going construction……..-.-* (annoyed)

  • Hi! I’m researching about the whole Pagcor Entertainment City Project and I was bumped into this site. As of now, Pagcor Tower is at a proposal stage again ( visit the Wikipedia Article of Pagcor Tower Page for source). Remember, the project was scrapped because it subject for being too high or too close at the airport.

    • yun sa wikipedia pwede i-edit kahit sino pag open lang yun security edit…parang ganito ilagay ko yun disney land or harry potter theme park dun sa pagcor city maniniwala ka ba agad?

    • tska di pwede yun pagcor tower pala because of height restriction near sa NAIA…kaya tama yun sabi ng iba rito

  • filipinos choose to be pessimistic rather than supporting our govt’s efforts. no wonder, mabagal ang pag unlad natin dahil ugaling pinoy talaga ang manira..

  • It’s a crazy proposed Building how can you build a tall building near airport. There is a height restriction near airport, better use your Brain…

  • ang alam ko hindi pwede itayo ang pagcor tower dahil sobrang taas nya delikado ito para sa mga eroplano na magte- take off at magla landing sa NAIA. masyado daw malapit sa airport pwede sa ibang lugar…..well yun ang nabasa ko sa balita.

    • my bagong project ang DOTC sa pagcor city yun ang SOUTH INTERMODAL TERMINAL sa likod ng Uniwide Mall

      • I heard about intermodal terminal before but no news about its Progress.

        Before sa Taguig nila itatayo ang South Intermodal terminal na yan…kung itutuloy yan sa may Uniwide mall, then mapupuno rin ng buses (that take SLEX) and gagawing NAIA Expressway II.

        • proposal lang pala yun…pero nasa PPP project sya. Looking muna sa popondo ng project…cloverleaf entrance na NAIA expressway sa liko ng uniwide coastal mall

  • What a Ripoff.
    Sayang yung lupa na nireclaim. The project was supposed to be something new and interesting for the whole world but then things got back to the usual “residential/shopping city”

    ENTERTAINMENT city?
    Not even close enough.

    Anyway, goodluck nalang talaga sa Pilipinas. It’s more fun in the Philippines, afterall.

  • mukang kulang po sa research ang belle grande manila bay ay hindi po proposed underconstruction po sya and it will be finish by second quarter of 2013..solaire manila will be finish by 4th quarter of this year..nag start narin ang construction ng manila bay resorts…ang resorts world bayshore will unvail na yun plan before magpasko nadaan nako sa sight ng pagcor city RW bayshore nalang ang hindi nagstart ng construction

    • Thanks for the info Tim but we need reliable sources in writing to update this. I believe, Belle has two resorts, one is under construction (but is not indicated because I couldn’t find any source while the other is under proposal).
      Also, as stated, Solaire Manila is under construction.

  • So sad, im looking forward for the Tower, but it was scrapped… I hope they would push through for The Manila Eye and Planet Hollywood Philippines. When are they going to build Manila Disneyland??

        • That will depend on your country of origin. But in reference to the Philippines, Hongkong is closer. Also, going to Tokyo requires a pesky visa application unlike HongKong which can give you a tourist pass upon arrival.

      • ang alam ko may isang government official ang sumulat sa presidente/official ng DISNEYLAND na hikayatin magtayo ng disneyland sa clark pampanga. wala pa ako balita kung ano reply ng management ng disneyland.

    •  A Disneyland is not part of the original plan and is unlikely to be build due to the close proximity of HonKong’s
