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.
