Located in Ermita, Manila, the Manila City Hall's Clock Tower is the
largest clock tower in the country. It was built by Antonio Toledo
in the 1930s and can be considered as the emblem of Manila. It can be
seen best at night because the whole tower lights up.

Several aerial shots of the Manila City Hall circulated the
internet where many netizens see the City Hall as coffin .
From my
self point of view, it
really looks like a coffin
but it is actually built
shield-like symbolizing Roman Catholic's protection and
power in the Philippines.

Derived from the words “May lakan diyan ”
which also mean “there is an aristocrat inside”, Malacanang Palace was built in
1750 by a rich Spaniard businessman Don Luis Rocha. In 1825, it was bought by
the government and was a home to the country's famous and influential people
ever since. Now, it serves as the official residence of the Philippine
presidents.
