Mergim -- Joni Mitchel's "They paved paradise / and put up a parking lot" song, comes to mind. That reclamation project looks obscene. Thank goodness SM can't pave sunsets. Thank you for the walk.

FYI.. If you are not familiar with Dubai, it is mostly reclamated areas and a Filipino Engineer was one of the heads of building Dubai into how it is now. And currently, that Engr has been commissioned by the current gov't to do exactly what he has done in the middle East. So don't worry

[@truthhurtsbutmatters]

FYI.. Coconut Palace was built during the time of Pres. Marcos Sr. The father of current Pres. During the 70 s and the 80s, it was where the first couple would hold dinners for the foreign dignitaries who visit the Philippines and its main purpose was to show them the cultures of the Philippines.

The Coconut Palace was built in 70's by Marcos Sr. administration. Materials used are mostly came from coconut tree to showcase local materials. That was a brainchild of the former First Lady, the mother if the current President, Marcos Jr.. It was intended for the 1982 visit of the Pope and other tourism functions

[@tedrobertson1344]

The entire place where you've been today is all reclaimed area. From the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Star City, PICC, Sofitel, & so on. What a stunning view at 22:32 of Manila Bay & the boulevard’s skyline !

[@JC0820]

There are four reclamation projects in that area of Manila Bay. First, the New Manila International Airport, also known as Bulacan International Airport; then, the Horizon Manila, a new smart international city; then, the extension of SM City Seaside or Pasay Harbor City; and finally, the Manila Waterfront. The second through fourth projects are projected to be finished by 2028-2029. It is all part of decongesting the city of Maynila to bring its old glory back. If you are not aware, the city of Maynila is the capital of the Philippines, so the national government wants it to be a world-class city again.

[@darwinyuson9338]

Correction, that's 46 reclamation projects in totality from that stretch of Manila Bay all the way to Bulakan Bulacan where the San Miguel Aeropolis and Navotas Coastal Bay Development are located.

It's called Coconut Palace because the materials used are made of coconut. Wall claddings, posts/columns etc are all made from coconut.

[@manuelmolina2849]

That dilapidated building you've been through was the former Manila Film Center. during the construction of that building hundreds of construction workers were buried alive under the quick-drying cement when the scaffolding supporting the slab for concrete pouring collapsed. When we were young, it was our dream to experience watching foreign movies (Rated R Films) from abroad that the government allowed to be shown😁 sad to see the present condition of that building that was once a showcase and one of the Grandeur buildings including the Coconut Palace, Cultural Center of the Philippines and the Folk Arts Theater of the Philippines.

[@warayph]

Bad history w that place. It's a mass grave. Haunted and cursed. You should read about it. Been inside many times while it was still functioning as a Film Center. Creepy place.

Coconut Palace is ingeniuosly mostly made of coconut materials and was purposely built by then President Marcos Sr to be exclusively used to house Pres. Reagan & his entourage's visit in the Phils but unfortunately the visit was cancelled due to political instability going on during that time.

Thanks mergim for taking us to Pasay, its a nice place... I'm fr Rizal quite far from Manila.
