Manila Ocean Park

Well, what do you know? The Philippines will be opening its own oceanarium this coming December at the Rizal Park in Manila. Officials say it's a Php 1 billion project of Singaporean and Malaysian investors and it is going to be larger than the one in Sentosa Island in Singapore.

I've been to Ocean Park in Hongkong many years ago and recently to the one in Sentosa in 2004 and from what I've seen, it really is breathtaking underneath the water. I'm sure it will just be the same with the one in Manila and it will be scenic attraction for many visitors, especially tourists.
