The US$247m project in the Philippines’ Clark Freeport Zone has been delayed by the pandemic.  

The Philippines.- The Widus Group has confirmed Phase I of its new hotel and casino complex in the Clark Freeport Zone will now not be finished until late 2021 due delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
