Upper middle-class Chinese buyers have snapped up condominiums and pushed rental rates in the Manila Bay area to around Php1,700/sqm ($35) in the three months ending March 2020. This is a 172% jump compared to 2015, Leechiu Property Consultants data show. A prime mover for Chinese interest in the Manila property market, in particular, is the online gaming boom (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators) which caters almost exclusively to clients based in China, where gambling is banned. https://media.assettype.com/gulfnews/2024-11-19/xyvftkwd/Alegria_oil_and_gas_field_Cebu_191213a6e54_original_ratio.jpg In 2018, Duterte inaugurated the commercial production of the Alegria Oilfield Polyard-3 Well Site in Alegria, Cebu on May 19, 2018. The onshore exploration, which was established by the Department of Energy (DOE) and China International Mining Petroleum (CIMP), marked a major breakthrough in domestic oil and gas production. The Alegria onshore oil and gas field in Cebu has an estimated oil reserve of 27.93 million barrels with a probable production recovery of 3.35 million barrels. Alegria is also a natural gas field hosting an estimated 9.42 billion cubic feet of natural gas, with reserves estimated to last until 2037. https://media.assettype.com/gulfnews/2025-11-28/gv3l8kfv/Duterte.jpg Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte appears in a video-conference as he skipped an in-person attendance during the initial hearing at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
