THE metropolitan cities of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Jakarta, Indonesia, were transferred to new grounds with more open space for development, modern and state-of-the-art buildings, access to public utilities and mass transportation, and less vulnerability to rising sea levels, earthquakes, flooding and strong typhoons.
Malaysia relocated Kuala Lumpur's administrative and judicial offices to Putrajaya, while Indonesia is moving Metro Jakarta to Nusantara, East Kalimantan. Both Malaysia and Indonesia did so because of overcrowding, traffic congestion, pollution, urbanization, and inadequate transport and shelter. Metro Manila is now ripe for relocation since it faces serious problems like Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.
The concentration of security, military and police headquarters in Metro Manila can result in the decapitation of our command centers by foreign aggressors or domestic rebellions. Malacañan Palace is located in the heart of the city, surrounded by residential houses, factories and the historic Pasig River. Our country's seat of power must be protected against enemies of the state and be presentable to heads of state and diplomats.
