Sprouting like some kind of post-modern termite mound between Taft Avenue and Adamson University in Manila, the DMCI Homes Torre de Manila project is definitely an attention-grabber. The single-tower condominium, which will be 41, 46, or 49 stories high—as an interesting report about it by the online news site Rappler pointed out, no one seems to be sure, and DMCI’s own website does not actually provide that information, either—has been under fire since it was first announced sometime in 2012, but is now coming under even closer scrutiny in the form of a Senate inquiry at the behest of Senator Pia Cayetano.
