The city government of Manila and the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), on Tuesday held a groundbreaking ceremony for a park dedicated to senior citizens and pet-lovers in Pandacan.
Manila Mayor Francisco Moreno Domagoso said the project was a result of collaboration between the national and local governments.
“Since the Skyway was built, it has become dark (in the area). It has become dangerous at night for drivers, workers, and residents of Pandacan. Not only has it become dark, it has become dusty every day,” Domagoso said.
People around here inhale the dust and cement left in this open space,” he added.
The project, named the Senior Citizens’ Park and Pet Park or Plaza Azul, was a joint initiative of the city government, the MMDA, and the Department of Budget and Management. Pot Chavez
