Camp Crame mall? Yes, and a high-rise, too |

Don’t be surprised if you see more and more policemen spending their free time in a mall.
And it won’t be an ordinary mall they’ll be going to. It will probably be the most tightly secured shopping place in the country.
A feared detention center for thousands of dissidents during the martial law years and a stronghold of rebel troops during the 1986 People Power Revolution, Camp Crame in Quezon City is about to undergo a major facelift.
Philippine National Police Director General Avelino Razon Tuesday said the PNP had earmarked an initial P80 million for the construction of commercial establishments inside the camp, as well as for the upgrading of camp facilities.

NAIA T3 – World Class and Opened! |
|
Monday, 28 July 2008 00:00 |
If there is another achievement that the Arroyo administration could have trumpeted in the SONA last July 28, it was the partial opening of the previously "mothballed" NAIA Terminal 3.
What should have been in use a decade ago finally opened to domestic air travel last June 22, servicing Cebu Pacific first and PAL and Air Philippines soon after. A month later, the terminal was able to receive President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo from her US trip and officials showed her around the terminal.
Perhaps because the ownership issue and "just compensation" as ordered by the Supreme Court has not yet been really fully settled between the Philippine government and PIATCO, the SONA team chose not to highlight the opening of NAIA T3.
