“TORRE DE MANILA” ....THE NATIONAL PHOTO BOMBER “.



Did you know that ... The Building on the right is “TORRE DE MANILA” It has been controversial due to its proximity to the Rizal Monument. The tower has been publicly known as "THE NATIONAL PHOTO BOMBER “. Various attempts to halt construction were made from 2012 to 2017 but eventually the construction continued due to the lack of a law that forbids such constructions within the skyline of a national monument. The developers challenged conservation groups in the Supreme Court of the Philippines, stating that the National Cultural Heritage Act. of 2009 has no provision to protect skylines. In 2017, the court ruled in favor of Torre de Manila's developer, DMCI Homes, effectively deflecting further attempts to stop the construction of the building.
