Will it be stopped or not?
“The Senate committee on education, arts and culture led by Senator Pia Cayetano went on an ocular visit of the Luneta Park to see whether the 46-storey residential building Torre de Manila is indeed within the sightline of the Rizal Shrine,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
Real estate firm DMCI is the builder of the controversial building.
The report revealed that “the on-site hearing was then brought to the Office of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines to find out whether the building violated the zoning ordinance of the city of Manila as well as the Cultural Properties Preservation and Protection Act.”
Artist and tourist guide Carlos Celdran has started a petition against the Torre the Manila on Change.org, “Terror de Manila: Say No to DMCI.”
So far, over 8,500 people have signed the petition.
