Asia’s first underwater resort hotel to be built off Palawan


MANILA, Philippines—The country is all set to embrace a futuristic undersea project to rival those in Maldives, Dubai and Fiji, according to a Filipino team of developer and architects, which is set to build an underwater resort hotel in Palawan.
Dubbed as the Coral World Park, this multibillion-peso project will set the record as Asia’s first underwater resort development and the biggest undersea living in the world once the project is completed by 2013.
Picture this: You wake up to a picture perfect view of frivolously swimming manta rays and fishes or hold a meeting in a restaurant submerged in the pristine waters. Say what? All this isn’t science fiction according to an all-Filipino team behind the project.
Taking the helm is Singapore-based businessman Paul Moñozca, who is known for his advocacies of helping Filipino sports teams and the overseas remittance business. Partnering with Moñozca is renowned eco-architect Jose “Pinggoy” Mañosa, who will take charge of the architectural design of the Coral World Park.
Magkahalong saya't lungkot ang aking naramdaman habang binabasa ang artikulong ito sa inquirer. Masaya ako sapagkat sa wakas magkakaroon na ng maipagmamalaking Arkitektura ang Pilipinas. Na maaaring maihanay sa mga famous Architectural Wonders sa buong mundo like ng Burj Al Arab (Dubai), Hydropolis (Dubai) at marami pang iba. Dahil I must say, Philippines is left behind na sa ganitong aspeto. Yes, we have five star hotels and even a six-star hotel here in Philippines BUT look at their architectural designs --there is no Wow factor kapag nasa labas ka na ng hotel. You will only feel the Wow factor kapag nasa loob ka na ng hotel.

What made me feel sad about this news is that, Singaporean businessman ang magtatayo ng hotel na yan. Meaning ibang lahi na naman ang makikinabang sa likas na ganda ng Pilipinas. Kaya hindi malayong matulad ang Palawan sa Boracay kung saan ibang lahi ang may ari ng mga iba't ibang hotel at ang mga pinoy..ayun nag-aayos ng buhangin...nagpapantay ng buhangin sa dalampasigan. Is it too ironical?? Kung sino pa ang dapat MAGHARI-HARIAN SA SARILI NIYANG BAYAN e, siya pa ang NAGMUMUKHANG ALILA?
