The thing is, Torre de Manila will most likely not be stopped.
“Cultural activist and Manila tourism consultant Carlos Celdran is asking Filipinos to boycott DMCI Homes, the developer of the controversial Torre de Manila which, some say, ruins the sightline of the Rizal Monument in Luneta Park,” reports Kathlyn dela Cruz on ABS-CBNnews.com.
In fact, as the report pointed out, “Celdran believes that making a boycott happen is more possible than stopping the DMCI to construct the 48-storey condominium.”
Celdran was quoted as saying, “Whoever bought, I just feel bad for you. But from here on, I’m telling people: Just stop buying Torre de Manila and just stop buying from DMCI.”
He also added, “There is far too much money and far too much connections and far too much lack of sensitivity to deal with. So at the end of the day, I will put my money on DMCI winning.”
The report noted that as of August 20, Torre de Manila was already 19 floors high.
