NEW GOVERNMENT CENTER
Bacolod City

http://www.bacolodcity.gov.ph/galler23a.jpg

Bacolod's Capitol looks very grand and the building's facade and the grounds surrounding it looks very well-maintained. Good governance at work, IMO. :okay:

credit that to the late gov. marañon. he's instrumental in not only transferring back the governor's office and other offices under it but at the same time restored it back to its grandiose form. it used to house the negros museum while the provincial offices including the governor's office was housed at the provincial administration building situated right across it.

@ Kimber- I agree. The building looks decent and could have been better in formal white. I didn't take a snap of the plaza fronting the town hall. It's mint green. :ohno:

Good to hear that!:cheers: Although I understand it was quite controversial since it was built within the Arroceros. SM, should have built a neoclassical or chose a design similar to this one.

yaps, white paint is still the best IMO...:)

white is a nice color for neoclassical buildings...

sana lahat na lang ng neoclassical buildings sa Pilipinas, kahit hindi government buildings, ay kulay white... para magandang tingnan...

Leyte Capitol

Once the seat of the Philippine Commonwealth Government on 1944 under President Sergio Osmeña, Sr. Construction of the Capitol started in 1917 during the administration of Governor Salvador K. Demetrio, completed and inaugurated in 1924 during the administration of Governor Honorio Lopez. The original edifice was renovated, expanded and beautified 40 years after upon assumption to office of Governor Norberto B. Romualdez, Jr. in 1964.

Historic viewing of two murals depicting the MacArthur Landing was unveiled on October 20, 1964 by President Diosdado Macapagal while the First Mass was unveiled on March 31, 1965 by Ambassador Fernando Lobao de Carvalho of Portugal and the Marquis de Aumon representing the Government of Spain.

The question though: What is an original "Filipino" building design? Because if we could look closer with the "Bahay na Bato" style, it's a hybrid of indigenous "bahay kubo" and "European."

So what's an "original Filipino building design?" The term "Filipino" is even from foreign origin. :colgate:

I definitely agree. ^^

As I have seen only some of those provinces in Mindanao and in Nor.Luzon have unique architectural designs (e.g. Batanes, Cordillera, ARMM). Filipino architecture in general is the "bahay kubo" or maybe "tree house" or a cave.:cheers:

August 8th, 2009, 06:16 PM

^^not exactly copied but still copied...:)...another pa meron din nyan sa UK

The style is called Neoclassical or new classical and is found all over the world. I disagree that the Bacolod Government Center was a copy of the White House because that itself was inspired by classicism or the civilizations of Greece and Rome. These civilizations brought us many ideas about government, nationhood and the law. I personally believe the style befits government buildings as it conveys the ideas of stability, order, and permanence.

Neoclassical, or "new" classical, architecture describes buildings that are inspired by the classical architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. A Neoclassical building is likely to have some (but not necessarily all) of these features:

Symmetrical shape
Tall columns that rise the full height of the building
Triangular pediment
Domed roof

During the 1500s, the famous Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio awakened an interest in the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. Palladio's ideas became the model for architecture in Europe for many centuries. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, the newly-formed United States drew upon classical ideals to construct grand government buildings as well as smaller private homes.

The word Neoclassical is often used to describe an architectural style, but Neoclassicism is not actually any one distinct style. Neoclassicism is a trend, or approach to design, that can describe several very different styles.

I think this would qualify as Filipino architecture. The lower half is enhanced with stone similar to bahay na bato. and the roof design is very asian/balinese. Asian/balinese design is similar to Mindanaoan.

I think this would qualify as Filipino architecture. The lower half is enhanced with stone similar to bahay na bato. and the roof design is very asian/balinese. Asian/balinese design is similar to Mindanaoan.

Which reminds me of the Marcos days when almost all of the airports have the same theme.

Mindanaoan theme seems to be more appropriate. Perhaps like the Maranao torogan and the dominance of okir.

But we cannot deny that we Filipinos have integrated influence from other cultures as well. I heard from several of my foreigner friends that the Philippines is very "westernised." I dunno about their opinion/perspective though but it somehow seems to be right.

A product of 400 years of being colonised by western powers is sure one big thing in making the current Philippine history and society.

In the end, I really couldn't blame whether a capitol or a city hall/town hall has imitated western architecture and some other famed landmarks, because if we look at the past, we have been doing this so.

Also, let the architects' imagination go free. There are a lot of cities there right now that needs a new government center too. So I guess it's not too late. But for now, we cannot please all people, in the end it'll still serve it's purpose: as an office of the state and local management for the people.

well, that's 300 years of convent and 50 years of hollywood, what would you expect our answers be?

basing from the pics above, i don't think these great buildings of our asian neighbors don't make them less in grandeur and sophistication than their european counterparts. what's important i guess is the role that these buildings played in their nation's history that made them national treasures. and that's what the bacolod NGC is also trying to achieve as catalyst for our city's advance to progress.:) so for me, its not an issue and never will be an issue.

August 10th, 2009, 01:48 PM

my only comment was about the design of the building...it still a copy no matter where you look at it...it's our penchant to copy things instead of creating new ones.that's the reason why we dont have a sense of identity because we keep on copying things...look at our Asian neighbors...our country is not bereft of good architects but the reality is design is 2nd priority only...since andyan na yan make good use of it nalang...sana nga next time our architects will be given free reign to the execution of the design...this is my opinion lang no need to rip it as one will suggest here..and there's nothing wrong with the "bahay kubo" its in the execution....peace

^^i respect your opinion...:) if you think its copied, okay i respect it wholeheartedly...but for me respectively, its not that great deal. no matter its copied or not, the important thing is WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT CENTER THAT WE CAN BE PROUD OF, that can also be a trademark for our city...we are happy with it, no matter its not filipino style, nor filipino architecture...and take not for the word copied, if copied, it really copies the everything from head to foot, but for me, its INSPIRED by the architecture of the white house. so, see the difference? sorry if i don't agree with your opinion...Peace!!:):)

Come to think of this amigo...

333 years under the Kingdom of Spain
47 years under the Commonwealth of the United States of America

the buildings of these influences are visible in Escolta, Intramuros, Sta Cruz, Quiapo, Sampaloc, Malate and Ermita. Doesn't the Bacolod City Gov't Center fit-in with them? Romanesque-Neo Classical-Modern, etc etc etc are all showcased in and out of the Bacolod Government Center. It spans time and colonial influence so it doesn't skew from the "Filipino-architecture".

A bahay kubo city hall would not withstand greater than 120 kph winds of 20 typhoons a year in the Philippines. :lol: Maybe an Ivatan architecture of Batanes would do :lol::lol::lol:

i know it cant withstahd strong winds migs but i was just setting that as an example of a filipino architecture coz for me, Theres really no definite design that can make filipino architecture distinct from the rest....like what you've said...Filipino Architecture is an evolution of a mixture of colonial influence...and i totally agree with it :)

Pimentel opposes Senate move to Film Center

By Leila Salaverria
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 17:10:00 10/03/2009

Filed Under: News, Government, Congress, Construction & Property

MANILA, Philippines—Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. is not afraid of ghosts, but he is concerned about the Senate’s moving to the supposedly haunted Film Center.

Pimentel said the edifice, which was built nearly three decades ago amid much controversy, may not be structurally sound.

“I wonder whether that's a good idea. Aside from the ghosts, maybe the structure, that's what I'm worried about, whether that is safe,” Pimentel told reporters at the Kapihan sa Sulo forum.

He also said he does not believe in the ghost stories about the building.

The Film Center has remained largely unused after it was hastily built for the 1982 Manila International Film Festival of the former first lady Imelda Marcos. During the center's construction, an upper floor collapsed and buried an undedetermined number of construction workers alive. Some bodies were recovered but the authorities then could not say exactly how many had been buried.

Rumors that their ghosts haunt the center continue to abound.

Senate Majority Leader Miguel Zubiri earlier said the Senate was in talks with the Cultural Center of the Philippines about leasing the Film Center in order to save on rent. At present, the Senate occupies a building in Pasay City owned by the Government Service Insurance System and pays about P120 million a year in rent.

Pimentel said that if the Senate wants to move to a new place, it should draw up plans with the House of Representatives so that the two legislative chambers could hold office in a single compound.

The House of Representatives' offices are at the Batasang Pambansa complex in Quezon City.

Such an arrangement could fast-track legislation, since meetings between senators and representatives could be held immediately, instead of these meetings taking several days just to schedule, he added.

“I think that's the ideal situation. They should not be apart,” he said.

Pimentel recalled that when he was Senate President, he had spoken to President Macapagal Arroyo about the acquisition of 10 hectares in Fort Bonifacio on which to relocate Congress.

Ms Arroyo approved his request, but when Pimentel was no longer Senate President, the proposal was forgotten.

Pimentel believes there could be a feasible arrangement with contractors about the construction of a new building for the Senate. For example, a build-operate-transfer agreement could be worked out, with the rent being guaranteed to the contractors, he added.

Mmm...huwag naman sana sa Fort thought the article below mentioned that the future Bonifacio South development will include gov't offices. Could it possibly be there kung ever matuloy?

Jusmag lot auction readied
by Elaine Ramos Alanguilan

State-owned Bases Conversion and Development Authority will be putting up the 35-hectare Jusmag property in Fort Bonifacio in the auction block this year.

Aileen Zosa, vice president for business development of BCDA, said the Jusmag property has been initially valued at P20,000 per square meter.

“We want to masterplan the whole area into Bonifacio South to maximize land values and big developers can give us good price. The Jusmag property is initially valued at P20,000 per sq. m. on a raw land basis but the minimum bid offer could be higher with the master plan,” said Zosa.

The 35-hectare property is located near the high-rise condominium Essensa, the posh Forbes Park and right across the headquarters of the Philippine Army.

Zosa said developable land in the proposed Bonifacio South is about 93 hectares, with the Jusmag property accounting for nearly half of the entire area.

She said the auction for the Jusmag property is the first phase of Bonifacio South. Part of the master plan is to widen Lawton Avenue, the main road artery in Fort Bonifacio.

She said the proposed Bonifacio South would be mixed-use development and include cultural, convention center and arts centers, institutional and government offices, “which are usually forgotten in the quest for profits in real estate development."

Robinsons Place Iloilo for Executive and bureaucratic & Iloilo Terminal Market for Legislative Area.

By the time it finishes (they are expecting to start constructing by end 2009), all city offices will be under one roof...FINALLY!!!

It's been a long time since Iloilo had a decent city hall...they gave up the old city hall for UP and acquired that building at Plaza Libertad.

^^ Indeed it is a heritage site. It has been recently recognized as one by law thru the NHI plaque last year that was installed in the building.

The plan was to have that city hall in front of a reflecting pool that resonates Burnham Park and Washington's Mall. However, WW2 came.
