In the margins of the 43rd Philippine Business Conference, Bloomberry Resorts Corp. chairman Enrique Razon Jr. told reporters that the company is determined to continue with a planned hotel and casino development in Quezon City despite resistance from locals.
According to a report by the Manila Standard, Bloomberry said in an interview that the firm is likely to start constructing its second casino project in 2018.
“It will push through. We will start construction sometime next year and for completion after two years,” Razon said.
The planned mixed-use development with hotel and casino will sit on a 1.5-hectare property on Vertis North that Bloomberry acquired from the National Housing Authority in 2014, the Manila Standard said.
Razon’s statements follow opposition by Quezon City residents that recently published an open letter in local newspapers urging Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to prohibit casino developments in the area.
