    Details about PAGCOR tower please? Is it under construction right now? 😀
    The Pagcor Tower was a proposal for a 665 m (2,182 ft) tall observation tower near Manila Bay in Manila, Philippines. The tower was meant to be constructed as the landmark of the now under construction Pagcor City (or Entertainment City Manila), an integrated leisure area with hotels, shopping malls, convention centers and casinos. But now the project had been scrapped along with a few other projects included in the PAGCOR City megaproject.
