Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada on Thursday during a news conference shows the building permit signed by his predecessor Alfredo Lim for the construction of Torre de Manila, a condominium project of the Consunji group in Malate district. A temporary restraining order was recently issued against the project over protests from heritage groups and other concerned sectors that the high-rise, even if still unfinished, already is an eyesore of a background for every photograph taken of the Rizal monument in Manila’s Rizal Park (Luneta).
