Asia’s first underwater resort hotel to be built off Palawan
« on: January 15, 2011, 08:04:49 am »
Dahil taga-Palawan ako, eto balita ko sa inyo mga ka-Espiya.



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.

“It’s high time we brought sustainable development underwater because there have been similar projects elsewhere in the world that have been proven successful,” Moñozca told Inquirer Property in an exclusive interview Wednesday.

He cited global warming and the rising water levels as factors that pushed him to look into the possibility of exploring the readiness of the country for this kind of revolutionary development.

Pegged at some $150 million, the undersea structure takes pride in its 24 undersea suites or pods called “Anemones,” which are submerged 60 feet below sea level with a fascinating 270-degree view of the sea. The 15-foot-high Anemones will be built by a US firm that specializes in submarines.

Several units of these Anemones will be open for public viewing at reasonable rates while majority are for ownership. Each 50-square-meter Anemone (the size of two-bedroom condo unit) can be customized per owner’s preference. It can be used as a private villa, a receiving or entertainment room that could cater to as many as 15 people.

Well, truly maipagmamalaki talaga to sir. All-Filipino project kasi (sabi nila, ewan kung totoo hehe). Yun lang, ano magiging effect nito sa Pilipinas? Mapapakain kaya nito yung mga mahihirap? Siguro magbu-boom lang yung tourism. Tapos dadami yung trabaho.

Isa pang concern eh yung marine ecosystem sa Palawan. Sana hindi ma-damage ng sobra. Pero aprub ako sa project na to!  ;D

I don't think na ma dadamage ng sobra yung marine ecosystem ng Palawan. Ang pinaka asset nito ay yung ecosystem mismo, kaya surely hahanap sila ng paraan para ma preserve ito.

Galing naman..Nakaka excite to...

Pa OT:Sigrado namang nakaready ang architects and engineers nyan about making the project to stand against natural destruction gaya ng lindol lalo na kabikabilaan na ang mga pangyayari gaya niyan.  Naiisip ko lang ano kaya situation ng mga taong ma trap sa ilalim. (sensya na medyo negative yung imaginations ko but anyways if ever given a chance to be there, it would be a once in a lifetime exprerience to dream about.

Let's think positive. Attitude, mga dre. This project is said to be done by 2013 (based sa article). Wag tayong negative. Besides, makikinabang din kayo sa prestige ng project na to pag natapos na.
