New Manila Bay - City of Pearl

The City of Pasay has been granted an Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) No. ECC-CO-1601- 003 dated 2017-October-24 for its Proposed 360 Hectare Reclamation Project. The City is proposing to embark on an additional reclamation project with an area of 265 hectares.The project is set to be completed with horizontal development in 2028 including roads, bridges, drainage, water, power, sewerage, communications, and other primary utilities and facilities.

Seems pretty conclusive that Horizon Manila is being built but nothing on City of Pearl so far?

This project is now getting a little confusing.

There is some land reclamation going on in the bay BUT it looks like it's another project - Horizon Manila. And that project would make it difficult to build "City of Pearl" as they would essentially be in the same bay space either side of the current jetties shown in both sets of concept art.

Does anyone know which project this reclamation is for? This video says it's for City of Pearl but also shows the horizons website and I could do with a translation if somebody could give it a listen and work out what the deal is?





This is the horizon project - https://horizon-manila.com/
You can see the space behind it is where the City of Pearl is meant to be going...
