Unlike Merdeka 118 and Petronas Towers, The Exchan Unlike Merdeka 118 and Petronas Towers, The Exchange 106 does not have anything interesting as a building to brag about. In fact, there had been some controversy over its claims that it had surpassed Petronas Towers in height until it was determined that is the 3rd tallest in Malaysia at 445.5 meters and 95 storeys.

    Where’s the Line 1 South Extension?

    January 4, 2016

    During the last days of 2015, people were all in anticipation with what should be the biggest news on the first day of 2016, President Noynoy Aquino and my “favorite” Transportation Secretary Jun (P)Abaya being run over by a train because they apparently could not keep their promise of having the construction of the 11.7 kilometer Line 1 South Extension from Baclaran to Bacoor in Cavite by the end of 2015.
