In an article from Meb.News, although the big theme parks backed out on creating a new and vibrant go-to place for Kagay-anons, Philippine Economic Zone Authority adviser to the director general Elmer Francisco, said that instead of dwelling in Cagayan de Oro, they will take area prospects for the theme parks in Central Luzon.
