• POLITICAL BOUNDARIES (Taguig City)
Makati City and Taguig have recently fought over the jurisdiction of Fort
Bonifacio. This Philippine military base, most of which has been converted to a modern
commercial and residential development area, lies in an ambiguous area. A portion of the
base, including the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Heroes' Cemetery) and the Manila
American Cemetery and Memorial lies within Taguig, while the northern portion where
the development center is now located used to be considered part of Makati but currently
and permanently considered part of Taguig. A 2003 ruling by a judge in the Pasig
Regional Trial Court has upheld the jurisdiction of Taguig over the whole of Fort
Bonifacio, including the Fort Bonifacio Global City.

• WATER BODIES AND QUALITY
Water Resources Characteristics
Surface Waters
Taguig has two major rivers that feed Laguna de Bay, namely, the Taguig River
and the Napindan Channel which is linked to the eastern portion of the Pasig River itself.
The Napindan River normally flows from Laguna de Bay to the Pasig River, but can also
flow in the opposite direction, depending on the river itself, the water table in the lake,
the tidal stage in Manila Bay, and the annual evaporatin from the lake.
Minor rivers include
: Bagumbayan River, Mauling Creek/Tabacuhan Creek, Hagonoy River, Tipas
River/Labasan River and Santa Ana River. These rivers are fed by 23 other tributaries
namely: Daang Paa Creek, Bambang na Malaki, Sukol Creek/Daang Manunuso, Mabato

total area of 90,000 hectares with an average depth of 2.8 m. Aquaculture covers around
15,000 hectares, 10,000 for fishpens and 5,000 for fish cages.
Groundwater
Taguig is situated within a groundwater basin containing several connected and
interrelated aquifers, composed of tuffaceous sandstone and conglomerates belonging to
the Guadalupe Formation. The rocks as observed from Fort Bonifacio Global City
conform from sedimentary facets of the Guadalupe formation and generally dip gently to
its western portion. Its thickness is approximately 1,300 to 1,200 meters.
Almost 2000 wells have been drilled in the aquifers of the Guadalupe Formation
for the commercial and residential users some of which go as deep as 300 meters. In
1990, total pumpage reached 339.6 million cubic meters. There are already 124 wells that
have been drilled south of Fort Bonifacio yielding 24.25 million cubic meters of water
that supply 7% of the total population of Metro Manila.

•GENERAL PUBLIC SERVICES
Taguig City has a typical organizational structure. Taking from the practice of the
past administration, departments were divided into five clusters for better management.
The clusters meet weekly. The Finance Cluster meets on Mondays. It is composed of the
following departments: Budget, Accounting, Business Permits and License Office
(BPLO), Assessor and Treasury.
The Security Cluster meets on Tuesdays. Its members are: Philippine National
Police (PNP) Taguig, Public Order and Safety Office (POSO), Traffic Management
Office (TMO), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Taguig Rescue, Taguig Anti-Crime and
Investigation Division (TACID), Task Force on Demolition.
The General Services Cluster meets on Wednesdays. Its members are: General
Services Office (GSO), Human Resource Management Office (HRMO), Legal,
Purchasing, Information Technology (IT), Special Bodies (Local School Board), National
Offices (Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Commission on
Elections (COMELEC), National Statistics Office (NSO), Commission on Audit (COA).

CYBER REALM 61
The Economic Cluster meets on Thursdays. Its members are: Agriculture,
Engineering, Market Management Office (MMO), Local Building Office (LBO), Lake
and River Management Office (LRMO), Local Utility Office (LUO), Tourism and Trade
Culture Development, City Planning and Development Office (CPDO).

Affairs Office (UPAO), Office of Senior Citizen Affairs (OSCA), Office of Disabled
Persons Affairs (ODPA), Taguig Anti-Drug Action Council (TADAC), City Health,

Personnel Management:
The personnel complement as of Feb. 1, 2011 is 5,226 broken down as follows:
Regular: 376, Casual: 315, Contractual: 308, Consultant/Contract of services: 1,113, Job
Orders: 3,154. New consultants were hired so the total number of personnel is 7,000 in

CYBER REALM 62
contrast to 3,000 from the previous administration. It would be worth mentioning that Job
Orders are the biggest number because of political accommodation. Their salaries are
charged to Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) instead of Personnel
Services (PS). It is not good because the budget for other services was reduced. We can
assume that as in the past, the City of Taguig will not exceed the 55% cap on expenses
for Personnel Services pegged by the Department of Interior and Local Government
(DILG) for the Local Government Performance Management System (LGPMS).

Issues:
Taguig City has two offices for Human Resource Management (HRMO).
The first one is legitimate because the officer holds the permanent item therefore
she is the one recognized by the Civil Service Commission (CSC). She is
CYBER REALM 63
identified with the former administration so the new administration brought in
their own personnel and positioned them in her office across the permanent
employees to monitor their movements. This is the situation in all the other
offices. The second office on the fourth floor is unofficially headed by a former
employee dismissed by the CSC and is filled with loyalists of the new
administration. He drafts the Office Orders and has them signed by the City
Administrator. He talks to the permanent employees about attendance and
transfers. Because he has no legal personality he leaves unsigned notes on the
desks of department heads. This has been reported to CSC and they are asking for
proof that he is working in city hall.
Pastors are hired as Consultants and appointed as Officers-in-Charge in violation
of CSC Memorandum Circular 13, s2011 “Policies on Executive/Managerial Positions on
the Second Level”.
The terminal pay of the previous employees from the past administration has not
been released since July 2010. The former Head of the Public Employment Service
Office (PESO) was assigned as Security guard at the Maharlika Elementary School and is
not even allowed to park his car inside the school premises. He filed a complaint with
CSC and the new administration was given a week to reply to the query.

Fiscal Administration:
The annual budget is P3,745,799,829.00. Under Expenditures: Current Operating
Expenditure is P1,398,293,103.00 (Personal Services: P449,236,578.00, Maintenance and
Other Operating Expenditures: P949,056,525.00); Total Capital Outlay is
P489,000,000.00 and Total Non-Office Expenditures at P1,858,506,726.00. The figures
illustrate the point I made earlier about the huge disparity between PS and MOOE.
Revenue Generation:
Taguig’s income is mainly based on revenues from local sources with Business
and Real Property Taxes comprising 90% of total revenue. Total collections as of
September 1, 2011 is P2,201,309,993.21 with P1,437,645,621.42 from Local sources and
P723,299,825.00 from the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), roughly one third of total
revenue. Collection efficiency is not good. Comparing this year’s collections to last
year’s collections from the same period, there is a shortfall of about P300,000,000.00.
The In-Charge of Office ( City Treasury) plans to auction delinquent real properties and
audit corporations on their business taxes. These measures were already implemented by
the previous administration and were proven to be successful.

CYBER REALM 65
Issues:
The In-Charge of Office (City Treasury) was originally appointed by the Mayor
as Legal Officer but was never confirmed by the City Council. This is a violation of the
Local Government Code and CSC Memorandum Circular 12, s2011 “Revised Guidelines
in the Determination of Positions in the Local Government Units as Primarily
Confidential”. The Mayor appointed him Treasurer-In-Charge in July 2010 and has
requested the Department of Finance (DOF) for an extension twice already. According to
the DOF, a Treasurer In-Charge may only be extended twice unlike an Officer-in-Charge.
Vice Mayor Atty. Elias’ commercial building financed by a loan from the
Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) would have hosted the first DBP branch in
Taguig. It is across Puregold beside City Hall. The new administration withheld the
Electrical and Occupancy Permits. The Locational Clearance and Business Permit were
issued then revoked based on the argument that the Resolution approving the
reclassification from agricultural to commercial is invalid and an Ordinance is needed.
However the revised Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) three years ago already
reclassified that area as commercial. The Vice Mayor is losing money because the
monthly amortization to DBP is not self-liquidating. They are filing a case against the
concerned local officials.
There is talk going around that the cost of obtaining an Occupancy Permit is
P60,000.00 per floor. The Occupancy Permit is a requirement for a Business Permit.
Given the number of buildings rising in Bonifacio, one can surmise how much money is
lost to corruption which has resulted to poor collection efficiency.

•SOCIAL SERVICES
City Health Office:
Taguig City is a Best Performance awardee for its Health and Nutrition programs
and has been a pilot LGU for the World Health Organization’s (WHO) special programs
(Breastfeeding, Urban Heart, Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response, Urban
Poor Project). The Health Office implements the following programs:
I. Family Cluster:
1. Expanded Program on Immunization: Measles, TB, diphtheria and hepatitis. The
following vaccines are administered: BCG, DPT, Oral polio, Hepa B and Measles.
2. Maternal New-born and Child Health Nutrition: Prenatal examination; Vitamin
supplements; Mother’s class; Lying-in Clinics; Newborn screening for early detection of
diseases that could cause mental retardation; Vaccination at birth part of Expanded
Program of Immunization; E.O. 51 Breastfeeding Awardee community partner and
workplace partner; Child-friendly maternity clinic
3. Family Planning: natural and artificial means
II. Regular programs:
1. Control of Non-communicable Diseases: Cardiovascular health (Healthy lifestyle),
Cancer control program (self-examination for breast cancer), Diabetes control program
(Aerobics, FBS screening).

CYBER REALM 67
2. Control of Communicable Diseases:
a. Dengue Prevention and control: Saturday school clean-up drives, Info dissemination
in Schools, Barangays (Barangay Dengue Taskforce Clean-up and Fumigation) and
Health centers, Roving Public Address System.
b. TB Control Best Practices Awardee for: Case Finding: Active Case Finding and
Creation of TB Task Force in every Barangay to help in identification of TB symptomatic
patients; Case Holding: Tutuk Gamutan by treatment partners and follow-up sputum
examinations; Quality Assurance in 7 Microscopy Centers performing Direct Sputum
smear Microscopy (DSSM); Well Performing Quality Center: Ms. Rosalie Munar, RMT
awarded as Most Outstanding Med. Tech Validator in NCR for year 2010; Assessed and
rated by the National TB Reference Laboratory with Grade Level 1A.
c. Rabies Control: Vaccination of dogs in all Barangays, Animal Bite Center in IBAYO
where there is a trained doctor and nurse.
3. Active surveillance of Highly communicable diseases: Measles; HIV;
Meningococcemia; Dengue; SARS;
4. Women’s Health: Cervical cancer; Pap smear; Sexually-transmitted diseases;
Vaginal semen examination; Commercial sex workers’ exam
5. Increased Barangay Health Workers allowance from P1,500.00 to P3,000.00 for
better service delivery

CYBER REALM 68
6. Health Emergency Services: Disaster Preparedness Training for Barangay health
personnel (bandaging, Cardio-pulmonary respiration (CPR); availability of 24-hour
standby personnel
7. Food and Sanitation: Lecture for food handlers; Water potability examination;
Bacteriological examination for water refilling stations. Taguig is unique because it has
implemented an Ordinance mandating Safety of Drinking Water.
8. Medical missions: Cataract extraction, Operation SMILE, Circumcision
Issues:
The City’s awards are indicative of the past administration’s investments in health
services. There is difficulty implementing the No Smoking Ordinance due to resistance.
All Taguig residents also enjoy 40 percent discount in fees in the city-owned
hospital, which, when combined with Philhealth coverage, makes health services very
affordable to the City residents.
The city-owned hospital now has 67 percent more bed capacity with the opening
of the second floor of its third building. It also has a newly refurbished, fully-
airconditioned emergency and operating rooms, which doubled the ER’s bed capacity
from 25 to 50, and increased the OR to 3 major operating rooms — 1 opthalmology OR,
1 minor OR, and 2 delivery rooms. There used to be only 1 OR and 1 delivery room. The

CYBER REALM 69
hospital also has a new breast and mammography center, and a TB DOTS clinic to
address the needs of those afflicted with tuberculosis. It has also recently acquired a CT
scan facility.
Due to all these improvements, the number of patients served by the hospital
jumped to 128 percent between 2010 and 2013.
The City Government is also augmenting the services being offered by the city
hospital and the 30 barangay health centers by putting up three Super Health Centers
(SHCs) with another one underway.The SHCs, on top of its function as a regular health
center, also offers lying-in services as well as services for minor and simple emergencies.
It is functional 24/7 with a medical doctor, a nurse and a midwife, and is ready with its
own mini-ambulance. The construction of another hospital along the lakeshore is also
underway.
For greater accessibility, the City Government has also embarked on a door-to-
door delivery of health services since 2010, starting with the delivery of week’s-worth of
medicines to needy residents with asthma, hypertension and diabetes. The Mayor herself
delivers wheelchairs, crutches, hearing aides, and other health implements to needy
residents right at their homes. In fact a new health delivery service is due to be launched
this month called the Doctor-On-Call (DOC) Program. It would be a 24/7 emergency

CYBER REALM 70
medical service to respond to medical emergencies right at the doorsteps of the City
residents. The DOC Team is comprised of a medical doctor with expertise on emergency
medical service, a registered nurse who is also trained as an emergency medical
technician, an aide and an ambulance driver.
Because of the investments in health services, the maternal mortality rate has
decreased very significantly from 1.3 percent in 2009 to 0.27 percent in July 2013. The
infant mortality rate has also decreased significantly from 13 percent in 2009 to 6.46
percent in July 2013. This year, the City Government aims to increase the city-sponsored
Philhealth members by around 60 percent to help ensure that the health needs of the most
needy are well-addressed. Thus, with all these things that the City Government is doing
to serve the health needs of its people, there should be no reason for anyone in the City
not to seek medical attention when needed.
Office of Social Welfare and Development:
Taguig has 3,000 beneficiaries in the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Program. Out of the twenty
eight (28) barangays, only twelve (12) barangays are part of the program. Selection was
done through the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-
PR). Set I has three (3) barangays:Tuktukan (74) recipients, Sta. Ana (128) and Western
Bicutan (1,104) with a total of One Thousand Three Hundred Six (1,306) beneficiaries.

CYBER REALM 71
Set IV-A has nine (9) barangays: Napindan (122) recipients, Ibayo Tipas (128), Ususan
(294), Bambang (187),Lower Bicutan (125), Bagumbayan (481), Tanyag (191),
Maharlika (232) and Upper Bicutan (138) with a total of One Thousand Eight Hundred
Ninety-eight (1,898). The total number of beneficiaries is Three Thousand Two Hundred
Four (3,204). SEA-K is the livelihood component and training programs are conducted
for the same beneficiaries.
They are given a health allowance of P500.00 and an education allowance of
P300.00 per child. Certain conditions must to be met before the monthly allowance is
released e.g. pregnant mothers must attend the regular prenatal check-ups in the health
center or mothers with children aged 0-5 years old must enrol their children in the day
care centers. If conditions are not met, the subsidy is deducted so the amounts vary. There
is no education subsidy during the summer because there are no classes. For every 25-30
families, a parent leader monitors them through the Household Case Survey. The OSWD
has three (3) focal persons while the DSWD assigned three (3) City Links for monitoring.
The DSWD provides parent training modules on Parenting Effectiveness, Family
Session, Family Management System and Empowerment. The Local Action Committee
meets every month to monitor progress and share updates.
Challenges:
The focal officers have encountered non-compliance by beneficiaries with set
conditions. Those who could not comply complain that they should be given more
leeway. Out of 7,000 urban poor families, only 3,204 families have benefitted from the
CYBER REALM 72
program so OSWD is requesting for an increase in the number of beneficiaries to cover
the balance of 4,000 families. My impression is the participating barangays are allied
with the current administration with Bagumbayan (the Mayor’s bailiwick), having the
second largest number of beneficiaries. Western Bicutan’s large number is due to the fact
that this project started three years ago during the term of former Pres. Arroyo.
Solid Waste Management Office
The Solid Waste Management (SWM) Office just convened the SWM Board in
compliance with Solid Waste Management Act R.A. 9003. They are preparing the ten
year plan. The SWM Committee will convene monthly meetings. Their programs:
1.Information and Education Campaign (IEC): Deployment of Barangay based
coordinators to conduct Thirty-three (33) IECs per month or One Hundred (100) IECs per
quarter; 2. Taguig Environmental Police; 3. Pilot barangay zones for No segregation, No
collection policy and scheduled waste pick-up e.g. Tuesday (recyclables) and Thursday
(hazardous waste); 4. Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in pilot barangays
Challenges: There is much resistance to segregation in the pilot barangay zones.
Legislative Branch: City Council.
III.
Taguig City has two City Councils and two Sangguniang Kabataan chairpersons
borne out of the political divide. Mayor Cayetano’s Council meets on Mondays at 3:00
p.m. Vice Mayor Atty. Elias and his Council meet on Mondays at 5:00 p.m. During last
year’s Budget Hearing the City Administrator told the Vice Mayor that the new

CYBER REALM 73
administration does not recognize him so they will never attend their sessions. Mayor
Cayetano’s Council does not have a quorum. They assigned a lady councillor as
Presiding Officer Pro Tempore, who is coincidentally the sister of the notorious “Golden
Boy” Valenzuela linked to the missing Customs containers worth P230,000,000.00.
In order to come up with a quorum for their sessions and gain control of the SK,
Mayor Cayetano’s Council called an SK meeting excluding the elected SK Chair Mae
Gonzales purportedly to elect their own: SK Chair Cruz. Cruz attends the Monday
sessions so they managed to come up with a quorum. Aside from convening her own
Council, the City Mayor withheld the salary of SK Chair Gonzales for a year already. SK
Chair Gonzales filed a case in court questioning the legitimacy of Cruz and the fact that
her salary and benefits have not been given to her. The Pasig Regional Trial Court has
come out with a decision upholding the legitimacy of SK Chair Gonzales as Taguig SK
Chair; ordering Mayor Cayetano to cease convening Council sessions without the Vice
Mayor, Council and SK Chair Gonzales; and has ordered the release of the unpaid wages
and benefits to SK Chair Gonzales within twenty (20) days. Mayor Cayetano’s Council
filed a preliminary injunction.

The Arena:
The Mall of Asia Arena is the alternate venue of the Philippine Basketball
Association when the Smart Araneta Coliseum is unavailable. The Arena is also the new
home of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines.
Figure 2.2.2- Mall of Asia Arena Source: Wikipedia
The Inductees:
From June 7–12, 2016, the arena held a professional Dota 2 eSports tournament,
known as the Manila Major 2016, which was hosted and produced by PGL eSports.

CYBER REALM 96
The Mall of Asia Arena is used to hosting rock concerts and sporting events, but from
April 23-24 it will host thousands of Dota 2 fans during ESL One Manila. With close
proximity to the airport and to downtown Manila, it won’t be difficult to take in some top
level Dota 2 in the heart of the Philippines.
Activities:
The Mall of Asia Arena is a 15,000 seat multi-purpose venue located in the Mall
of Asia Complex, Pasay, Metro Manila. The 52,000 sqm (561,876-square-foot) venue
was designed primarily to accommodate concerts and basketball games, but can also be
configured to allow for boxing, theater, fashion, and ice-skating shows.
The arena forms an integral part of a larger mixed-use masterplan built on reclaimed
land facing Manila Bay. The masterplan is centered around the Mall of Asia, and
includes the SMX convention center, the E-com office complexes, future hotel and
serviced apartment developments, and a multi-storey carpark annex.
The arena was intended to work on several levels. First, it had to act as a draw to the
larger masterplan, making the mall, the convention center and the hotels more attractive
through its complementary use. Secondly, it had to be integrated with the other
developments, which it does through shared infrastructure services, public transport

CYBER REALM 97
terminals, and pedestrian bridgeways. It plugs into regional and tourism networks
through its close proximity to Manila airport, ferry and cruise-ship terminals, and
the city's tourist destinations. Finally, the arena had to be a profitable venture in its own
right, combining efficient functionality, international construction methods, local
practice, and memorable imagery.
Design challenges included a limited 16,000 sqm (172,158-square-foot) site, which
required the arena to span over an adjacent road; and a high water table, which placed a
limit on basements and required the construction of an 8-storey carpark annex, housing
over 1,400 parking spaces. The installation of the arched roof-trusses proved particularly
challenging, requiring the coordination of multiple construction teams & cranes to hoist
them up.
In planning terms, the arena is arranged on two tiers, with a ring of corporate suites
separating the lower seats from the balcony levels. Backstage, changing, and press areas
are located on the ground floor, while BOH and admin areas are located on interstitial
mezzanines. Major concourses are lined with concessions, while a VIP restaurant and
lounge is located on the corporate suite level.
The arena employs grey water recycling, rainwater harvesting and waterless urinals; it
shares an STP, carparking facilities and a public transport interchange with the Mall of
Asia; and uses low-e coated and fritted IGU's throughout its facade.

CYBER REALM 98
The arena form is designed like a big eye, resting on top of a slanted podium plinth. This
allows it to hold the large volume of the interior court within a dramatic vaulted space,
while providing a distinctive identity to the arena as a whole. The whole eye is intended
to function as a multi-media screen, projecting images of ongoing or future events, and
forms a dramatic view from the arrival circle of the larger masterplan complex. It also
provides the perfect architectural image for a venue dedicated to spectator sports and
events.
 Findings And Analysis about MOA Arena:
The article introduced about on how Electronic sports facilities was notable and
be notable as an extensive impact in the emerging industry of eSports in the Philippines.
It represents the richness and creativity of the country in terms of innovations. It was also
as a benchmark of further development and opportunities of the eSports industry. It
would be also a best way on promoting and acknowledging different aspiring eSports
athletes that gives honor and glory to our country.
 Strategies and Design Concept taken
The article was relevant as the proposed ELECTRONIC SPORTS COMPLEX on
how our country must give importance of having an eSports facilities like this. With this
article clearly stated that there is a need for a facilities intended for Competitive
Electronic Gaming. In addition, it also stated activities and events being done in facilities

CYBER REALM 99
which can help as one factor of Architectural Programming and Planning of space
needed.
Furthermore, it also helps to showcase the knowledge and creativity of a Filipino
in the fields of competitive electronic gaming. With the proposed project, local and even
other countries will recognize our eSports players and eventually help in the progress of
our country.

CYBER REALM 101
The Inductees: Starting in 2014, American video game developer Valve
Corporation began hosting The International Dota 2 eSports tournaments at the venue,
which have since featured prize pools of over US$20 million.
History:
The Coliseum was rebuilt from the ground up between 1994 and 1995, bringing the arena
into the 21st century with state-of-the-art amenities. The remodeled facility maintained
the architectural integrity of the original hyperbolic roofline by using the existing steel
trusses in combination with four new main diagonal trusses. The wood, steel and concrete
from the demolition were either reused in construction of the new arena or sold to
recyclers. The original acoustical panels, those attached to the roof that keep the space
from echoing, were refurbished and reused. The court was lowered 35 feet below street
level to allow for 3,000 more seats.
 Findings And Analysis about Key Arena:
The article stated importance and purposes of this facility to its place. It
introduced the help of the facility in commercializing the industry through investment of
public and private sectors in Seattle and into United States. This was also help in
recognizing Esport as an official sport to the society and its purpose to the economy.

CYBER REALM 102
 Recommendation to the Study:
With this study, the proponent get the idea of having a main arena intended for
Electronic Sports. Another one is incorporating investment on public and private sectors
for commercialization of electronic sports.

 (MLG)Major League Gaming Complex
Major League Gaming, one of the world’s premier eSports organizations, has announced
a partnership with two Chinese firms, which are going to help it build a 15,000 spectator
eSports arena on Hengqin Island in Zhuhai, China. Unlike other previously held games in
venues like the Staples Centre which hosted the last League of Legends championship

CYBER REALM 104
finals, this will be a purpose built eSports arena of a size never seen before, specifically
designed for competitive gaming.
Figure 2.2.2- Major League Gaming Arena Source: Wikipedia
The project is said to cost over 18 billion Chinese Yuan (£1.7 billion) and won’t
be completed until 2017, but is expected to become the mecca for eSports gaming around
the world. While no announcements have been made for partnerships with companies
like Tencent and Valve over what games will be played there, it seems likely that all the
big ones will make use of it – or use its success as a way to fund their own stadium
builds.
In the US, MLG also announced that it had been in talks with lots of stadium owners and
would be looking to expand its professional gaming into larger and more impressive
arenas.

CYBER REALM 105
While president of MLG, Mike Sepso has said (and onGamers reported) that this
will be the first eSports designed arena, there have been others created in the past. Intel
Extreme Masters opened what was described as the “first esports dedicated arena,” back
in 2009. It only had a capacity of around 1,000 spectators though, so it shows how
impressive the world of eSports has grown in recent years.
The two companies MLG are partnering with are Lai Fung Holdings Limited and
eSun Holdings Limited. The companies are funding the development of Hengqin and
they’ve decided to put the new arena in the V-Zone, which acts as the centerpiece of the
building work.
To put the project inside the 'V-Zone', which is described as the first-in-the-world video
game destination planned as a centerpiece of Lai Fung’s Renminbi 18 billion 'Creative
Culture City' development on Hengqin Island.
 Findings And Analysis about Key Arena:
The study above discussed the proposal of MAJOR LEAGUE GAMING
COMPLEX which is related to project to its site location. This study shows that the
design of stadium will reflects the eSports.

CYBER REALM 106
 Recommendation to the Study:
With this study, the proponents get the idea on how to relate the project to its
location. It is important to blend the style of architecture to be used with the existing
structures near the site of the project, but more importantly is to design a structure which
will be distinguish as its own function. The design must be unique and showcase the
essence of the proposed project with its architectural character.
This study helps the proponents on the following:
 Application of environment to the design of the proposed project
 Architectural style to be used.
 Help to promote improve eSports through its tourism potential.
2.2.3 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
With all of these case studies and articles concerning issues, design concepts and
existing structures locally and globally, the proponents has built an idea that a structure or
a building intended to be a main event center for eSports athletes that will house and
exhibit their skills and talents. The proposed project shall also give influence to the
Filipino people that our eSports athletes/players will give fame to our country if the
support for them is enough through competitions and tournaments concerning to
electronic sports which shall be held in the proposed project.

CYBER REALM 107
The said “eSports Complex” shall go along with the futuristic which is the design
of its neighboring structures but it must be a design that will symbolizes the creativity
and globally competitive in terms of its innovation. In addition, it shall blend with its
environment and serve as its purpose without harming the natural condition of the site.
To adapt the “KinecticA” theme, dynamic and kinetic architecture is a considered
solution to the site which is located at Taguig City. With its enormous structures along
the site, the structure is expected to outstand from its place as a dynamic type of structure.
Technology, innovations shall be used to keep the structure to be visually engaging in its
specific location.
