Expected to be concluded in 2021 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines, The Mother of All Asia will then be the tallest statue of the Virgin Mary in the world, a position now occupied by the Venezuelan 47-meter-tall “Our Lady of Peace” statue, which was built in 1983. 

Standing at almost 100 meters tall, the monument will house a St. John Paul II shrine, 12 Marian chapels in the third floor, a food hall on the fourth, mini theaters and conference rooms, commercial and residential spaces, and is crowned with a viewing deck on the 17th floor.
