Established through Executive Order No. 30 s. 1966 by President Ferdinand Marcos, the
CCP provides performance and exhibition venues for various local and international
productions at its 62-hectare (150-acre) complex located in the Cities
of Pasay and Manila.  The Cultural Center of the Philippines was opened on September
8, 1969, three days before the President Marcos’ 52nd birthday (see in Google Maps).

2. The Tanghalang Francisco Balagtas (Folk Arts Theater)

Famous concerts are usually staged in this covered amphitheater which has a seating
capacity of 8,458 with ten sections. More commonly known by its original name of Folk
Arts Theater, the building was originally built to seat an audience of 10,000 and was
commissioned by then First Lady Imelda Marcos in 1974 for the Miss Universe Pageant,
which was to be held in Manila. Inaugurated on July 7, 1974, the theater was built in
record time of seventy-seven days in time for the pageant and was designed by
Leandro V. Locsin. For development purposes, it is subject to be torn down in the
future (see in Google Maps).

3. Philippine International Convention Center (PICC)

This state-of-the-art convention center located in the Cultural Center of the Philippines
complex in Pasay, Metro Manila, has been the host of numerous local and foreign
conventions, meetings, and social affairs. The Central Bank of the Philippines (now
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) was authorized by Presidential Decree No. 520 to construct
an international conference building, acquire a suitable area for that purpose, and
organize a corporation to manage a conference center. Thus, the PICC was organized
under the Corporation Code.   In a short span of 23 months, from November 1974 to
September 1976, construction of the PICC Complex was undertaken with Leandro
Locsin as architect, who was later on named a National Artist.  The complex was
inaugurated on September 5, 1976 (see in Google Maps).

4. Makiling Center for the Arts (National Arts Center)

Located in Mount Makiling, Los Baños, Laguna, The National Arts Center was
established in 1976 by First Lady Imelda Marcos as a sanctuary for young and aspiring
Filipino artists. Its various buildings and facilities are scattered over 13.5 hectares of the
Makiling Forest Reservation and also houses the Philippine High School for the Arts
(see in Google Maps).

5. Nayong Pilipino

Nayong Pilipino was built from scratch in 1969 through the patronage of former First
Lady Imelda Marcos.  It is on its fourth product cycle in almost 50 years. A 32-acre
theme park which is about 10-minute drive from the Ninoy Aquino International
Airport (NAIA) that features scaled-down replicas of the country’s top tourist
destinations such as Mayon Volcano, the Banaue Rice Terraces and the Chocolate Hills.
It also highlights Filipino creativity in arts and crafts.   But after 32 years of operation,
Asia’s first theme park was forced to close its doors in 2001 and was removed from its
original site near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport I. In 2006 President Gloria M
Arroyo gave Nayong Pilipino a new home in Clark as a major attraction of the
Centennial Expo. In March 2012, the Aquino administration breathed new life into
Nayong Pilipino with a new Memorandum of Agreement between Clark Development
Corporation and the Nayong Piilpino Foundation (see in Google Map).

6. People’s Park in the Sky

Built in 1981 during the Marcos regime, it was to serve as a guest house for then U.S.
President Ronald Reagan who was set to visit the Philippines. The visit never transpired
due to the EDSA People Power and the Marcoses being ousted. Located within the park
is The Shrine of Our Lady, Mother of Fair Love and a doppler weather radar station
maintained by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services
Administration (PAGASA) (see in Google Maps).

7. Philippine Heart Center

Originally named as Philippine Heart Center for Asia , the Philippine Heart Center
in Quezon City was established through Presidential Decree No. 673 issued by
President Ferdinand E. Marcos in 1975. Inaugurated on February 14, 1975,
cardiovascular specialists including Christian Barnard, Denton Cooley, Donald Effler,
and Charles Bailey practiced at the center.  The first Director of the PHC was Avenilo P.
Aventura (1974-1986), a cardiovascular surgeon who performed many pioneering
operations in the Philippines including the first successful renal transplantation in
1970, the first CABG in 1972, and developed and implanted the first ASEAN
bioprosthesis, the PHCA porcine valve. The first patient to be admitted to the PHC was
Imelda Francisco, on April 14, 1975 (see in Google Maps).

8. Lung Center of the Philippines

Under Presidential Decree No. 1823 by President Ferdinand Marcos, the Lung Center of
the Philippines was established on January 16, 1981 to provide health care that
specifically targets lung and pulmonary disease. It is located in Quezon Avenue,
Quezon City. It was later placed under the administration of the Ministry of Health by
President Corazon Aquino on July 29, 1986 under Executive Order No. 34.   A fire on
May 16, 1998 destroyed much of the center’s build and equipment. It was reopened on
March 1, 1999 and a new building partly funded by its fire insurance is now under
construction (see in Google Maps).

9. The National Kidney and Transplant Institute

Formerly known as the National Kidney Foundation of the Philippines, the institute was
established on January 16, 1981 as tertiary referral hospital that also offers voluntary
blood services. Located in Quezon City, the 2-storey institute is constructed of three
buildings (Main, Annex and Dialysis Center) connected to each other (see in Google
Maps).

10. San Juanico Bridge

A Part of the Pan-Philippine Highway, the San Juanico Bridge stretches from Samar to
Leyte across the San Juanico Strait in the Philippines. Its longest length is a steel girder
viaduct built on reinforced concrete piers, and its main span is of an arch-shaped truss
design. With a total length of 2.16 kilometers (1.34 mi), it is the longest bridge in the
Philippines spanning a body of seawater. Construction commenced in 1969 over San
Juanico Strait from Cabalawan, Tacloban   City to the municipality of Santa Rita, Samar,
with completion in 1973 (see in Google Maps).
