MANILA - The fire that razed Star City amusement park in Pasay City before dawn Wednesday left an estimated P1 billion in damage.
Ed de Leon, spokesperson of Star City owner Star Parks Corporation, said this Wednesday afternoon, but added that park management would try to reopen within the year.
"We will try to open this year. Depending on the assessments of our engineers," de Leon told ABS-CBN News in a text message.
The park earlier said it may not be able to open in time for Christmas, a peak season, and estimated that operations might resume in October 2020.
