Manila Post Office

The Manila Central Post Office is one of the buildings designed by Juan Arellano in a sprawling complex that would have been, in another life, something akin to a Manila Central Park, or a posh Arts and Culture district or a Government Complex.

Part of this complex would be the National Museum (formerly the Legislative building), the Manila City Hall, the Metropolitan Theater, the Rizal Park, and the present day Department of Tourism. (At least in my mind, this is the way it was planned. Do not quote me on this, I am uneducated in terms of Manila’s urban plan.)

In the present day, it is right across one of the busiest pseudo jeepney ‘street’ terminals in Manila, Plaza Lawton.

If you are a commuter, or a Manileno, it’s one of the most overlooked structures in the area. It’s just something you pass by daily to work, and where you have to drop by to pick-up your mail.

If you’re a tourist, it’s hardly ever mentioned that just across Spanish Intramuros is the American Neo-Classical heritage.

In the quest of finding what I’m now, I went back to my roots this summer: reading a whole lot of fantasy/adventure, and now drawing. Hope I can put some color into this soon.
