HongKong-listed casino operator Landing International Development Ltd is wooing Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte to allow the construction of another multi-billion dollar Leisure and Theme Park Integrated Resort in Manila.

Landing announced that the firm’s senior management met with Duterte and his cabinet team at Malacanang Palace in Manila on Monday to present the company’s proposal to build an international branded theme park integrated resort.

This was not the first time that Landing bosses and Duterte met to discuss the company’s desire to invest in the Southeast Asian island nation.

Dr. Yang Zhihui, Chairman and Executive Director of Landing, claimed that Duterte has expressed his keen interest in their proposed three-phase, integrated resort project.
