By George Trillo

CLARK FREEPORT— A P900- million casino and hotel is soon to rise inside the aviation complex of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport.

Information Technology firm Eagle Sky Technology and Amusement and Gaming Incorporated (ESTAG) will construct a six-storey building, airport hotel and entertainment complex all in one.

Estage President Ireneo Alvaro Jr. said the firm’s facility is the first luxury hotel, entertainment, and IT hub within the DMIA aviation complex.

Clark Development Corporation (CDC) President Felipe Antonio B. Remollo, Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, Estage chief executive officer Tony Huang were on-hand during the groundbreaking ceremony last weekend.

The casino-hotel is just one of the many major projects on-going inside the Clark Freeport zone as Remollo said that this premier Freeport is clearly becoming the business and entertainment hub of Central Luzon.

Alvaro said the company aims to break new foundations in the Philippines by combining the most luxurious hotel, gaming facility, IT hub, entertainment centers, high-end boutiques and shops, restaurants and spas, in just one complex.

Other officials who graced the event included Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pag-cor) director EnriquitoNuguid, Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) vice president Reynaldo Catacutan, CDC directors Manolo Feliciano and Ricardo “Bong” Alvaro, and others.
