Planning, designing to execution .. Ung tahimik lang pero we see fast results. ❤❤❤ kudos to this admin and all the people behind it. Am excited to see the full development of pasig river. End to end result.

[@jamh690]

Finally, Roby asked the same question I have for a long time. Our politicians surely visited developed countries and yet they didn't even bother to replicate good things they saw in those countries. Anyhow, let's all support this project . More power to Architect Paulo, Architect William and the team.

[@theworthy9411]

one word to describe those politicians "Inutil"

[@carlom5002]

finally! someone who sees reality, is not afraid to throw it to officials' faces, knows the solution and has actually done it with better than expected results! i just watched his TEDx talk and nakaka frustrate talaga ang situation ng pedestrians. what he showed are the exact frustrations i have when walking/commuting. sad to see roads being widened and made free-flowing at the expense of pedestrians. ironic how the govt makes driving point to point shorter but forces pedestrians to walk farther and climb higher. i really do hope we see improvements soon.

[@AuntieShinePH]

Salute to the architects, PBBM, and everyone involved in this project. More brains working for Philippines long-term growth and sustainability please.

[@478sgtpepper]

Great conversations with great planners...and yes we did it too in our town in Balungao, Pangasinan...with strong political will of our town Mayor and Vice Mayor in few years time we've seen results...hindi lang drawing, it's built and hoping someday Arch. Paulo and some Landscape Architects will pay a visit to appreciate the improvement of our municipal grounds.

[@matdaibang1215]

Paolo Alcazaren's efforts at the Iloilo Esplanades has become a benchmark for all LGUs around the Philippines. Fact.

[@tinarico9395]

This show is very informative. Kudos to the creator of this channel

[@virginiatican3668]

You're so Right in saying that the Pasig River ReHab Program was so low profile and took everyone of us by Surprise. Within 4 months the Showcase part was finished. Again, you said it spot~on. Made DELIGHTFUL "the stuff of Dreams" by your 2 Guests (+ Sec. Acuzar). Magical. Truly impressive, remarkable and admirable, yet DOABLE pala. These guys created a Happy Place that involves and unites people, communities and agencies, etc. There's HOPE for us yet. One thing to do in my Manila bucket list. Thanks so much for this.

[@richardmarcial4741]

sisir paulo nagpaganda at may utak sa ILOILO RIVER ESPLANADE. POLITICALL NG lgu at volunterism... at unity ng lahat ng tao..... ang kailangan...

[@litochicano8740]

after the demolition of squatters along the railroad at Muntinlupa, I suggested to my brother in law who was at that time working as department head to pitch the idea of building bike/walk paths, mini parks, children’s playgrounds along the railroad and it will keep the squatters from coming back.

[@KyleGiducos]

Arch.Alcazaren sana magtayo ng replica ng Spanish Galleon on a platform looking like a sea but actually a fountain.....to commemorate the Manila/ Acapulco galleon trade during the Spanish colonial period...it could be a new tourist attraction dyan malapit sa Esplanade.... something for tourist to learn a part of our history during the Spanish era

[@abeljohnbormate1212]

Love this interviews. Kudos to Sir William and Sir Paulo for inspiring not only young architects and designers but more to the whole nation. "with political will It can be done" I wish more localities employ their own beautiful esplanades to lessen their trafiic encourage healthy exercise living by walking, jogging and biking.

[@KyleGiducos]

In Intramuros or an open space in the Pasig River Esplanade, there could be a small band playing Filipino music or a band featuring bamboo instruments playing Filipino music to entertain the tourists somehow to liven up the place , like every hour or so....

[@EMcC-pr6zx]

True, passion for vision to make it true, more people needed like them in government

[@KyleGiducos]

Sobrang green na ang Manila, sana naman.magtanim ng mga flowering trees n plants para vibrant n cheerful ang look ng city of Manila.....just like in Amsterdam na may tanim ng maraming multicolored tulips sa city na naging tourist attraction

[@martinsantos3781]

I become part of DHSUD and one of the first batch of architects in the National Agency. I would say that my former boss secretary Acuzar is an action man. He knows when its time for planning and when its time for execution. Naalala ko young sinasabi nya noon " Wala na tayo sa panahon nang pagpaplano, nasa panahon na tayo nang pagtatayo".

[@hackieagoncillo1577]

Pasig River esplanade should be the lung of metro manila. Aside from linear walkable parks there should be forested areas along that river to give life to our natural ecology there. Basically we should be integrating nature in contrast with urbanisation of the MetroManila.

[@NewB2025]

Haters ng PBBM admin, pasok.. este labas! 😂

[@binaryseraph855]

We will give you the benefit of the doubt and trust BBM admin please complete the 50km(double-side) rehab within 3 years as promised. This will be a real game changer for tourism and the overall image of MM

[@33jufran]

Walkable & Cyclable - Useful, Safe & Delightful

[@giedwinquiambao4410]

There is a proposed plan to build an expressway along the Pasig River called PAREX. What is the current status of this project? and how can the implementation of the Pasig Esplanade convince the government and the public that PAREX is no longer essential?

[@kobebasso6260]

Nice. ❤

[@KyleGiducos]

Ngayong nalalapit na pagbabalik ni Mayor Isko bilang Manila mayor sana mas coordinated ang urban development sa Manila besides the Pasig river esplanade....marami rin msgagandang plano para sa Manila si Mayor Isko Moreno

[@KyleGiducos]

sana yung mga architects ng Old Manila areas construct n design new buildings in Manila a modernize version of Neo Classical or Beaux Arts design to bring back the ambience of architectural design of the American period, whether it is a high rise building , sana yung facade man lang ay may semblance ng Neo Classical or Beaux Arts design..para may harmony at hindi hodge podge ang designs...ksi ang nangyayari is kanya kanyang design ang mga architects w/o taking in consideration of aesthetics sa mga katabing mga buildings

[@leonsano3207]

Build more walkable and Bikable spaces Sir. Lets end our car centric culture asap❤😂

[@KyleGiducos]

maganda sana yung area ng Old Manila that Includes Intramuros, Escolta, Binondo, Sta.Cruz .n especially Ermita ang Malate areas have this uniform n harmonious design of Old Manila similar to the American architect Burton's vision of Manila na hindi na nasunod ng mga architects in Manila after the war....

[@ramonpabillon895]

Folk Arts Theater was built within 77 days under Imelda Marcos' watch, what would we expect her son/ PBBM would do. ❤

[@KyleGiducos]

the Ermita - Malate areas should undergo an urban re development...MH del Pilar n A.Mabini streets were once considered Manila's tourist belt in the 60's n 70's....we could bring this back by transforming these streets to what they were before but no honky tonk ago go bars n massage parlors , but a string of al fresco cafe, restaurants, hotels, bars, n taverns like the once famous El Bodegon tavern on MH del Pilar where customers could have a drink of beer while listening to singer or simply listening to a guitarist....

[@KyleGiducos]

Think of something or some places in Manila where tourists can go or visit besides Intramuros n Pasig river esplanade....the ilalim ng tulay sa Quiapo could be transformed into a bigger area to sell native handicrafts n souvenirs...

[@33jufran]

Transport for London (TfL) responsible for the all transport in London & Boroughs... Iconic Double Decker Red Bus, London Black Cab, The Tube or Underground, The Trains or Overgound, The Thames River Ferry, The Croydon Trams, Barclays/ Santander Bicycles (Boris Bikes), Driverless Light Rails, Emirates Air Lines/ IFS Cloud Cable Cars, Cross Rails/ Thames Link Trains... How I wish there is Transport for Manila (TfM) that will do the same for Manila & The Metro And The Pasig...

[@33jufran]

William Ti please do 20km EDSA Rehabilitation... End the misery of the 2,000,000 out of Manila commuters..

[@E-portal9479]

kudos to pbbm

[@33jufran]

Manila Central Post Office Building should become a National Museum of Telecommunication & Philatelic Museum...

[@leonsano3207]

Widen and place protective barrier on the bikelane on the whole stretch of edsa so to attract even the cycling newbies to use it

[@KyleGiducos]

one tourist area worth revitalizing is the Escolta...this street could be transformed into Beverly Hills or Rodeo Drive st like in Hollywood should put up high end shops that sells branded.products like Gucci, Dior, Hermes, Nike, iphones etc...n the old Capitol Theater transformed into a small performing Arts Theater like the renovated Met Theater....n while in the area the Plaza in front of Sta.Criz church should be planted w/ trees n beautifully landscaped n lights all around....this rehabilitation could complete the Intramuros, Binondo, Chinatown plus Quiapo tourist belt....also the Gothic style San Sebastian church is worth repairing n including the Plaza del Carmen....

[@KyleGiducos]

puro puno nga sng nakatanim sa iba't ibang parte ng Manila pero mukhang gubat...kung saan saan ang tubo ng mga sanga, dapat sana i trim ng pabilog, nxt walan tamang spacing sobra masikip tingnan, also makatanin lang ng puno pero iba't ibang klaseng puno, may maliit may mstaas, walang uniformity, kaya walang aesthetics parang gubat ang dating...sng lastly sana being a tropical country sana ang puno na tanim ay may colorful flowering trees....like the Caballero or fire tree, Banaba tree, Bulayong tree, Golden showers tree, etc..and for edging colrful Bougsinvilla s

[@dannieg.7114]

That is better project than only a highway.

[@hunk2176]

I HOPE THE OLD POST OFFICE WILL BECOME A MALL THEN ADD FLOORS TO BECOME A HIGH RISE HOTEL🇺🇸🇵🇭

[@hunk2176]

I JUST HOPE CONGRESS WILL PASS A LAW TO CRIMINALIZE GRAFFITI VANDALISM, PROFESSIONAL SQUATTERS AND FIX THE SPAGHETTI WIRINGS. I HOPE SANDRO MARCOS CAN PASS A LAW.🇺🇸🇵🇭

[@KyleGiducos]

Manila needs to develop more tourist attraction n destination other than Intramuros or the Pasig River Esplanade....there shoud be more souvenir shops, al fresco cafes, fine dining restaurants, decent bars n taverns , art galleries n museums around the tourist belt of Manila

[@ArkiVolante]

❤❤

[@KyleGiducos]

a perfect location for this galleon replica would be the area next to the Plaza Mexico n immigration building where the monument of Magellan once stood before it was destroyed during WW2

[@KyleGiducos]

There could also be animal mascots wearing colorful attire where children can have a photo taken w/ their favorite mascots or animals

[@KyleGiducos]

Ano pa ba kaya ang pwedeng gawin para mad attractive ang Manila sa mga foreign tourists.....considerin sa lack of open vacant spaces.....one last vast open vacant area remaining in Manila is the property of the Cultural Center where Star City is located

[@KyleGiducos]

Manila needs something like the construction of a branch of Universal Studio like in Singapore....or turn the huge vacant land of the Cultural Center into large Musical Entertainment City like the West End in London or Broadway in the US ....ee have a large pool of musical talents but not enough venues..... Manila could be turned into the Musical city of Asia for foreign tourists to come since we don't have ancient temples n pagodas..big musical entertainment ia a big money maker especially now that the trend is musical performances of Korean Kpops groups etc

[@KyleGiducos]

our bright Filipino architects can probably come out w/ a Neo Classical designs mixed w/ Filipino features just like the Metropolitan Theater incorprating banana trees in the stain glass design etc...

[@KyleGiducos]

the National Historical Commision should be asked to help in bringing back the restoration of these lost jewels of Old Manila especially of the Neo Classical n Beaux Arts designs buildings during the American colonial period in Manila

[@KyleGiducos]

a large vacant area adjacent to the Cultural Center still remains idle...the area could be transformed as a sort of Broadway or West End for different performing arts festuring ballets, stage plays n dramas, Museums, etc...the Folk Arts center n Manila Film center are rotting but could be restored

[@KyleGiducos]

another suggestion is to erect monuments in Intramuros to Spanish Governors General who have been nice to Filipinos, Juan Lopez de Legaspi the first Gov. General, Carlos Maria de la Torre, Gomez Perez Dasmarinas, Narciso de Claveria, Archibishop.Salalazar, etc....Pilipino visitorscan try to guess the contribution of these Gov. Generals to our country.... especially to students who are Phil. history buffs.

[@KyleGiducos]

another suggestion is to build a monument of a small Galleon ship near the esplanade preferably at the soon to be vacated lot of the Immigration bldg.....to commemorate the Galleon trade between the Philippines n Mexico...this could be the center piece of the Park...n serve as another attraction of Intramuros...

[@KyleGiducos]

sana ituloy or improve yung original plan ni American architect Burton sa Manila...there are other areas worth reviving or restoring like the Neo Classical buildings of UP Manila campus....the buidings need a new coat of paint,...the original Sundial built by a Jesuit priest in the UP Manila campus n destroyed during WW2 should be restored n reconstructed w/c could be a tourist attraction....this whole street in Padre Faura. could w/.these Neo Classical buildings shoud be rehalibitated as a tourist attraction...

[@KyleGiducos]

Transfom or develop the tourist belt areas into a Hispanic heritage area mixed w/ Filipino culture n heritage

[@KyleGiducos]

the immigration bldg.once vacated should be transformed into a public Park....a monument of a galleon that ply between Manila and Mexico duting the Spanish colonial period could be erected in the middle of the Park as a reminder of the Manila / Mexico Galleon trade....this area is perfect location because it is near Manila Bay n the Park could also serve as place for the spill over of tourists once the esplanade is completed....as it is now the esplanade is too crowded especially on weekends n it is impossible to enjoy the beautiful view from the esplanade ksi masyadong siksikan n it is difficult to move around especially gor the Senior citizens

[@KyleGiducos]

Manila does not have an ancient Asian architectural structures of Budhists temples n pagodas.,..but what we have is an architectural design that is Hispanic or American colonial design n this what makes Manila different from Bangkok or Jakarta or Tokyo...lte us sana bring back out colonial designs...as Manila eas once known as "the Paris of the East " during the American period before WW2 because of the many European designed buildings

[@KyleGiducos]

Tourist can not just walk n walk , it would be nice if they could go into a tavern , have a nice cold beer or dine in a fine dining restaurant along the tourist belt....

[@KyleGiducos]

our architects n designers should think fast n be creative in designing and constructing a world class , iconic n unique Pearl design as a symbol of the Philippines, the Philippines being known at one time as the " PEARL of the ORIENT " before other countries beat us to it the construction....an example is the Merlion... Singapore's creative designers thought of idea....we could have built it first if only our designers then were creative in building a symbolic n iconic designed symbol for our country....the merlion is also found in our Presidential seal n currency as a Sealion holding a sword...the other option for the Philippines is to construct a unique, world class n iconic PEARL designed monument or structure as the Philippine symbol before other countries beat us in constructing a pearl design structure

[@KyleGiducos]

what we need in the tourist area of Manila is symetry in formsl design n consisttency in the existing buildings.....the renovation of Rizal Park in constructing the new biluildings in accordance with American Burnham original designs for Manila...is a good sign in the right direction...area of the campus of UP Manila with its preserved Neo Classical bldgs including the Supreme Court should be repainted....also the Sundial built by a Jesuit priest inside the UP Manila campus should be restored to become another historical attraction in Manila

[@KyleGiducos]

to Pilipino architects n designers sana ibalik yung ambience n charm of Old Manila in the Intramuros, Binondo, Sta. Cruz, Ermita/Malate areas....when Manila was once regarded as the "Paris of Asia"...we don't have Buddhist temples n pagodas like our Asian neighbors but we offer foriegn tourists a different Manila by bringing back how beautiful Manila once looked like before it was left in ruins during WW2...what Manila lost was the charm of Manila during the American colonial period with Western styled Neo Classical , Arts Deco n Beau Arts designs of most of our gov't n commercial buildings especially in the Escolta n Binondo areas... hope these architects could create back yhis buildings with Filipino features in their designs..what we need in the tourist areas of Manila are not skyscrapers but low rise buildings somewhere around 4 to ,5 floors only in height...leave the skyscrapers to BGC , Makati n other parts of Manila

[@Siopaoko]

Sabi ko na eh kaya maganda pag kagawa sa Ilo-Ilo Esplanade dahil kay Paulo Alcazaren. Batikan na architect yan kaya lang dto sa Pinas ayaw sya pakinggan. Mabuti na lang si Sen Drilon.

[@MarkEdisonAlviz-official]

Kahit si Palafox, nakailang admin na, hindi naaapply mga suggestions n’ya for major urban improvements ng Metro Manila. Hopefully, magtuluy-tuloy ‘to hindi lang sa Iloilo and Metro Manila, kundi sa buong bansa, esp. sa mga major citites.

[@Siopaoko]

@@MarkEdisonAlviz-official yup gusto ko rin ang vision ni Palafox para sa bansa.

[@millennialinmanila5621]

Have they visited it recently? Muoa na syang talipapa 😂 As usual puno na ng sidewalk vendors. Government is just plainly inept in enforcing rules on the streets. Hopeless. Sayang ang gastos. I hope they will just privatize it to maintain the cleanliness. Look at BGC, the reason why nfi napapasok ng mga dugyot na vendors kasi private, bawal sila dun kea BGC was able to maintain its orderliness and cleanliness.

[@KawiJunoJasper]

It’s just starting, I’m sure that the vendors will be ordered to discipline themselves in order for the place to keep clean. The vendors are also included in the plan because the plan is for small businesses to thrive and help them earn a living.

[@mysticworld213]

Gaya nga ng sabi nila dyan sa interview, sa ngayon yung lugar ay isa lang destination. Once natapos ang buong masterplan at spreadout na talaga sa buong Pasig River, chances are na yang umpukan sa lugar e maspreadout din as well as vendors so mawawala din later on yang panganganay na yan

[@christophercalingo7683]

Ngayon mo lng ba nalaman yang balita na yan, alam mo ba na binubuo ng goverment and private sector yang esplaned na yan para icommercialise at para mamanage ang mga food chain etc.. Hindi mo ba nakita na may security dyan?.. Sinuportahan at tututukan talaga ng gobyerno yan..

[@ernestdmenace3200]

12 years na ang Iloilo Esplanade and it is NOT privatized... until NOW mabibilang mo lng sa daliri ang sidewalk vendors.. usually sa early morning at evening mo lang makikita.. they are serving buko juice ang kakanin to joggers and walkers.. tapos in just 1 to 2 ours.. nawawala na sila. And they are located sa ends and outside ng Esplanade pa. So NO NEED talaga to privatized a project like this.. POLITI 49:41 CAL WILL lang talaga.

[@leonsano3207]

Masyado Lang nega eh parang sinasabi mong wala na tayong pag asa. Tumulong by not patronizing the vendors on that area and huwag magkalat SA area.
