MANILA, Philippines — Integrated property developer D.M. Wenceslao & Associates, Inc. said Tuesday submitted new proposals to the Philippine Reclamation Authority to undertake reclamation projects in Parañaque City and Cavite.

The proposal contains two reclamation areas where the government is expected to receive 200 hectares at zero cost to it.

Meanwhile, the project in Cavite is for the reclamation of approximately 335 hectares of offshore island in Sangley in preparation for the development of theSangley International Airport.
