Manila Ocean Park

The Philippines' first world-class oceanarium owned by China Oceanis Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Inc., a Singaporean-registered firm that has operated four oceanariums in China. It is currently under construction behind the historical Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park.

Construction composed of three phases:

First Phase - Oceanarium and is set to open on December 2007. The MOP oceanarium is said to be bigger than Sentosa's Underwater World oceanarium in Singapore in terms of floor area - 8,000 square meters (Sentosa Underwater World has 6,000 square)

Second Phase - includes the marine-themed mall and the hotel, to open next year in 2008.

Third Phase - the open marine habitats which is also set to open in 2008.

Manila Ocean Park is divided into sections:

1. Agos (Flow) - a rainforest motiff complete with 8 tanks of freshwater fishes.

2. Bahura (The Reef) - exihibition of artificial corals in 48 tanks

3. Laot (Fishing Ground) - will feature big fish and Eagle-spotted rays in a long tank.

Main attraction

MOP's main attraction of the oceanarium is a 25-meter long walkway tunnel with 220-degree curved acrylic walls similarly seen in Hong Kong Ocean Park, Singapore's Underwater World in Sentosa and Malaysia's Aquaria. The difference between MOP's is a 220-degree curved tunnel as compared to the standard 180-degree curved tunnels seen in other Asian countries

The oceanarium at Manila Ocean Park will be one of the biggest and most advanced in Asia.
