-MANILA, Philippines - A real estate association partly run by property giant Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has submitted an unsolicited proposal to the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) for a bus rapid transit system that will operate along Ayala Avenue in Makati City.
+MAKATI CITY, Oct. 1 (PIA) -- The local government is set to launch its own mascot to help spread the message of responsible pet ownership in line with the city's observance of World Animal Day on October 2.
-Anna Bautista-Dy, ALI vice president of the strategic Landbank Management Group, said the build-operate-transfer proposal submitted by the Makati Commercial Estate Association (Macea), could cost P1 billion. ALI is a “minority” stakeholder of Macea.
+The launching will take place on Sunday, at the Ayala Triangle Park, according to Makati Mayor [[Jejomar Erwin Binay, Jr.|Jejomar Erwin S. Binay]].
-“The bus rapid transit system is one of the things we feel can really transform the city. We all know it is important but it needs to be done in a more streamlined manner,” Dy told reporters on Monday. She said Macea is still waiting for a response from the DOTC.
+Binay, a strong advocate of the worldwide movement for animal welfare and rabies control, is also inviting the public to join the celebration with its theme, “Bantay: Home at Last!”
-She said Macea will operate the system, which would run “end to end” within the central building district.
+“We encourage everyone, most especially pet lovers and pet owners, to participate in the exciting activities we have lined up for this Sunday’s event. Let us show the world that Filipinos are compassionate people who know how to treat animals right.... through responsible pet ownership,” Binay said.
-The new transit system aims to ease traffic along Ayala Avenue, a main thoroughfare in the country’s financial district.
+The mayor said the mascot “Bantay” is envisioned to serve as an ambassador for animals and a society free from diseases originating from animals.
-The Ayala Avenue stretch will be exclusively serviced by the rapid-transit buses. It will be closed to other buses and jeepneys but open to private vehicles.
+The mayor also thanked the city’s partners in organizing the event, namely, New Marketlink, Pfizer, Granny Goose-Tortillos, Virtusio, Nestle Philippines, Pet Food Institute, and Philippine Society for Wildlife Research and Conservation. (RJB/JCP-PIA NCR)
-ALI is also developing the former Santa Ana Racetrack in Makati City into an “entertainment district,” parts of which will be ready for launch by 2012, Dy said.
-“We would like more live performances. It will be a more outdoor-oriented [development],” Dy said, referring to plans for the 21-hectare property.
-She said ALI has not yet decided whether the development will have a gaming component.
-ALI first announced the partnership with Philippine Racing Club in February. Located in [[Carmona, Makati, Philippines|barangay Carmona]], the property was used for horse-racing activities until the end of 2008.
-ALI shares declined 1.03 percent to P13.50 each on Monday’s close.
