WATCH: Inside Enrique Razon’s planned mega vaccination site
Rappler goes to the 9.5-hectare property of the Nayong Pilipino Foundation to see the 'urban forest' that will be affected by the construction of the mega vaccination center

Ports and gaming tycoon Enrique Razon Jr. is planning to build a mega vaccination facility in a lot managed by the Nayong Pilipino Foundation (NPF) in Parañaque City. 

He plans to spend at least P250 million for the facility to vaccinate millions of Filipinos.

However, the NPF insists that Razon’s plans will destroy the ecosystem. It is also legally bound to turn the area into a cultural park. (READ: Malacañang tells Nayong Pilipino Board not to block mega vaccination site)

Urban planners also question the location, as it is not very accessible to the public.

Rappler reporter Ralf Rivas goes to the contested site to see the so-called urban forest and parses through documents and official statements by officials to get a clearer picture of the intricacies of the deal. – Rappler.com
