In April 2005, we opened our first hotel & gaming facility in Binangonan, Rizal. The following year, we established our second gaming facility in Poro Point, La Union.
Since 2005, Thunderbird Resorts, Inc. has invested over US$50 million and has committed a total investment of up to $150 million over the next decade.
