Solaire Resort North to further boost tourism
MANILA, Philippines — In a further boost to the country’s tourism industry and to business in general, President Marcos yesterday led the inauguration of the Solaire Resort North in Quezon City, the second Solaire-branded leisure and entertainment center.

First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. chairman Alejandro Tengco, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte and Mrs. Lizzie Razon were present during the opening of the $1-billion integrated destination resort.
