Metro Manila Development Authority chairman Francis Tolentino revealed a list of spots in Manila that will serve as filming locations for Hollywood film The Bourne Legacy in an interview with ANC on January 3, ABS-CBNNews.com reports. The movie is the fourth installment of the popular Bourne series, which previously starred Matt Damon.

Tolentino enumerated the locations as Marikina City Market, San Andres Market, Navotas Fishport, Ramon Magsaysay Blvd., Ayala Avenue, Nagtahan, Pasay-Taft, Intramuros, and Jones Bridge.

"I think they selected Pasay-Taft Rotonda," he is quoted as saying. "Magulo talaga ang area. So it's about time that we redo the area because it will be shown worldwide. So it's an eye-opener for us na ayusin namin ang Pasay-Taft Rotonda."

Rumors say The Bourne Legacy team will start shooting in Manila on January 14, but Tolentino said he couldn't confirm the date.

The Bourne Legacy will be directed by Tony Gilroy and stars Oscar-nominated actor Jeremy Renner of The Hurt Locker fame. Other main cast members include Edward Norton and Rachel Weisz.
