What happened

Alliance Global Group Inc said in its 12 November 2026 Philippine Stock Exchange filing that Manila’s USD1.25 billion Westside Resort remains scheduled to open by year-end.

The Entertainment City development is expected to feature more than 2,500 hotel rooms across three brands, over 2,000 gaming machines and tables, restaurants, retail and entertainment.

The company did not provide a precise opening date or an updated construction timetable for the casino resort in its announcement.

Travellers International Hotel Group Inc, which owns and operates Newport World Resorts, recorded nine-month EBITDA of PHP6.1 billion, up 8 percent year-on-year.

Net revenue reached PHP23.1 billion for the nine months to 30 September 2026, with non-gaming growth offsetting softer VIP gaming revenue, according to the parent.

Non-gaming revenue increased 16 percent year-on-year to PHP5.9 billion, with growth accelerating to 23 percent in the third quarter.

Operating costs remained steady over the nine months, while third-quarter hotel and food and beverage revenue rose 11 percent, Alliance Global said.
