Tourism will definitely get a major boost once Phase 1C, or the newest phase of the Pasig River urban Development plan, opens in August as it will make walking the tourist spot Intramuros, hipster haven Escolta, and the oldest Chinatown in the World Binondo, a breeze.Phase 1C is a 250-meter development running from Plaza de Mexico in Intramuros across Jones Bridge and down to the esplanade behind the Manila Post Office, which was launched last January.
Plans are now afoot to build another 135-boardwalk from Plaza de Mexico to Fort Santiago. According to a press statement, rest rooms will be placed in the commercial area, so you won't look hulas walking between your destinations.In case you're wondering about the smell, there is still a faint odor coming from the river. It's been neglected for decades after all. But the government is already working on a technical solution so the smell will be gone when Phase 1C opens in August.
