Muntinlupa Bliss Scandal Part — 1 Patched

Contrasting the Bliss areas are the "Patched" modern zones, specifically Filinvest City and the developing Southlands. These areas provide the cosmopolitan lifestyle that has redefined Muntinlupa’s image.

By 1989, the patches were visibly tearing. Residents formed the Bliss Homeowners Association and filed complaints with the Department of Justice. The newly installed post-EDSA government of Corazon Aquino was forced to acknowledge that the "Bliss" label was a cruel irony. A fact-finding committee discovered that no public bidding had been conducted for the construction contracts, and the original contractor—a firm with ties to Marcos cronies—had been paid in full despite substandard work. muntinlupa bliss scandal part 1 patched
