Bloomberry to open new casino in Cavite in 2028
The company is in the process of completing land acquisition in Paniman, Ternate.
The Philippines.- Bloomberry has issued a filing confirming plans to open a new casino in the Philippines by 2028. The Solaire Puerto Azul will be Bloomberry’s third integrated resort (IR) in the country after the recently opened Solaire Resort North, in Quezon City, and the Solaire in Parañaque.
The company said it is in the process of acquiring land in Paniman, Ternate, Cavite, and developing a masterplan for the project. There is little information on the development.
The possibility of a third Bloomberry IR was previously revealed by Alejandro Tengco, chairman and CEO of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). Guring his speech at the Inside Asian Gaming Summit, Tengco said at least six integrated resorts would emerge over the term of President Marcos’ administration.
“By 2025, one will be launched in the Entertainment City area, as well as other potential projects in Cebu and Boracay by 2026,” Tengco said adding that Clark, the economic zone in Central Luzon, is “also on the radar for a new integrated resort in 2027, followed by another Solaire property resort sometime at the end of 2028”.
