Waterfront Philippines Inc. (WPI) plans to put up a hotel and casino in the Bagong Nayong Pilipino-Manila Bay Integrated Tourism City in partnership with a Macau-based group. On the sidelines of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) project launch last week, William Gatchalian, whose family controls WPI, said the company would lease five hectares from the government to build a 2,500-room The Grand Waterfront Hotel and Casino.
