NEW MOWELFUND BUILDING: Big things, surprising things, are unfolding at MOWELFUND as it celebrates its 45th anniversary on March 23. The celebration has for its theme, MOWELFUND@45, Onward to Greater Change for the Movie Worker.
Foremost among these is the construction of a new four-story building within the same Rosario Drive complex a year from 2019.
The new building is part of a newly-forged agreement between Mowelfund (Movie Workers Welfare Foundation, Inc.) and realty developer VCDC.
Groundbreaking for the new structure to replace the old, existing one is among the highlights of the March 23 celebration. Mayor Joseph Estrada, founder of Mowelfund and who donated the 6,500 sqm property in Cubao, will grace the occasion.
Mowelfund president Boots Anson Roa-Rodrigo said their new home shall continue to house its film museum and film institute. A state-of-the-art 100-seater theater is also among the features of the new structure.
The groundbreaking shall also signal launch of a cluster of 42 tropical modern townhouses to rise on the prime property.
VCDC president Victor Consunji said the high-end homes, costing anywhere from 18 to 30 million pesos each, will be built following tropical modern design.
