We make it a point to come here every year for the Pasinaya Festival, one, to help and support the other theater people and two to enjoy watching the plays. During my college days we used to perform here and now that my time has lapsed I now have all the fun and excitement of watching others perform. It is... More

If you're not familiar in Metro Manila it will be difficult to find. Location is along Roxas Boulevard. If you are coming from Quiapo Church there are 2 ways for you to get in CCP. You can take a jeep that has a sign board of Kalaw. then go down to Luneta and then you have to look for Rizal... More

I always visit the ccp for various shows and events. I remember watching my sisters ballet recital in the main auditorium or watching some small local one act play in the smaller rooms. The place is aging and it shows. Although the facade and lobby still maintains its elegance and beauty, it cannot be denied that wear and tear is... More

Nice cultural complex around Manila Bay! Coconut Palace looks pretty and the view from the bay is perfect. Small restaurants or bistros are available within the complex from where one gets a good vantage point to admire the famous Manila Bay sunset over a glass of wine. Such a beautiful area to get a good breeze on a sunny day... More

I watched an orchestra a week ago here in CCP. But this old building needs a makeover. Afterall, this has been a part of our country's cultural events. I wish it could be more grand.

We found this rather hidden but interesting museum by chance, it is tucked away in a great ugly cement building. They have a collection of musical instruments old and newish and also a collection of tableau of cultural interest, it seems that we were very welcome as maybe there are very few visitors, the elderly gent at the entrance gave...

Nothing spectacular on the outside of the building, it was closed when we paid a visit . Good thing Manila Bay is just around the corner and we enjoyed the sunset.

I watched the Phantom of the Opera last year, it was the last quarter of the year, couldn't remember the exact month or date but I do remember feeling grand.

An edifice's age doesn't necessarily make it unattractive. The CCP needs to be refurbished to bring back the glamorous image it used to project.
