I’ve decided to start a series of lists based on different themes (readers may send their suggestions for future lists). For this week we look at landmarks of the city from the ‘60s – again a caveat, this list is a first go at putting together architectural icons from the era. You may also send in your own lists. The structures, in no particular order, are:

The last two weeks, we looked at famous old restaurants, nightclubs and other landmarks on the strip (as they used to call it then). At a recent media event, I bumped into Regina Kabigting of the Heritage Hotel Manila and Joanne Lorenzana (yes, the singer) who’s now the marketing manager of the Hyatt Regency Manila. They were both at the table with Jeff Isidro, editor of My Home magazine, and finding out where they worked brought back more memories for me.

With tens of thousands of architects in Manila, the venues for camaraderie are as numerous as the chapters of the UAP, PIA, PALA, PIEP, PSID and the PIEP (professional associations of architects, landscape architects, planners and interior designers). I’ve been invited to speak before a good number of them.

Actually, my trip from my home in Pasig put me through four landmark sites or buildings – Ortigas crossing (marked by the old Tropical Hut), Cubao (with the coliseum) and the Quezon Memorial. I only looked out my lawanit-sided bus, however, when I went past that dip in the road mid-way along East Avenue.

The measure also calls for the preservation and improvement of the NPC building and complex.


A joint resolution has the force and effect of a law once it is adopted by both the House and Senate.
