Photogenic Cities in the Philippines

[iloilocitykid]

List the most photogenic cities you've seen:

1. Legazpi City - Mayon Volcano just completes the whole scene
2. Cebu City - Mountains and Sea meet at one metro point.
3. Iloilo City - Iloilo River moves smoothly through the dense urban surroundings added with a some mangroves along the bank.

Happy posting.

cebu city

[iloilocitykid]

^^ Beautiful. I find Cebu the most Photogenic major city in the country.
I just want to make this clear. THis thread is a way to promote our cities and most importantly, our country. Please, if you feel jealous of another person's city, do not post it here and bash other forumers. Keep it to yourself.

[WawaY[625]]

hand down, Iloilo city :) esp pag nagka high rise buildings na siya damn..ganda siguro


then Legazpi Cty..then cebu city (for its tall buildings with the hills as the backdrop)

[Sera]

sa North siguradong Albay, Tagaytay at Baguio, sa Visayas Iloilo at Cebu tapos sa Mindanao Cagayan de Oro at Iligan para sa akin.

[kiretoce]

The thread title says "Photogenic," so where are the photos people? :dunno:

[WawaY[625]]

hmmm sa mindanao ang pinaka promising na maging photogenic is zamboanga

[GearX]

gotta be Tagaytay.....on the upside^^

davao is only nice to look at from one angle :( from the mountain lang with the sea as the backdrop, pero kung nasa dagat ka di maganda tignan ang davao :(

1. Vigan City - beautiful old houses!
2. Tagaytay City
3. Dumaguete City

now this is what i call photogenic.

my no.2 is manila

[iloilocitykid]

^^ I guess the only way to say a city is photogenic depends on the photographer. Makati seems nice on those pics or whatever city posted here seems nice but if we look closer to the slum areas, it's all broken.

I can also say CDO is photogenic from the sky. It's like Iloilo's sister but it's got a bigger river.

i don't seem to understand your point here. you're the one who started this thread with the intention that members can post pics and discuss about cities that are photogenic. but you're also saying that the ONLY way to say a city is photogenic depends on the photographer. this is very conflicting. if we talk about people as subject in photography, there are really those who are born to be photogenic, whether the one shooting him/her is a professional or not. if that is your stand right now after seing those beautiful makati pics, why won't you change the name of this thread as THE BEST CITY PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE PHILIPPINES

the pic is so out of date but it's so scenic. Actually those nipa houses beside the sea is covered by a wall and it has a 4-lane boulevard with landscape center islands this is due to the on going construction of Embarcadero, a 24-hour commercial and I.T. Complex...

That was my opinion because the in some ways, a city looks photogenic because of the photographer is good at taking pics. (depends on the angles) As what a professional photographer told me: No matter how much you put it, once you have a good camera, you'll always take good pictures, but not all the time. So in some ways, pictures posted here taken by good photographers will look photogenic that the forumers themselves will think that the city really is photogenic.
Don't mind what I said, I'm shizophrenic. Let's keep on Posting. Peace po! :)

I think without Mayon prominently displayed, Legaspi would just be like your everyday urban settlement in the province. That's the draw and focal point of every photo of the city.

Sana we should concentrate more on panoramic photos of cities or shots that encompass a large section of the city from a good vantage point.

A very nice view of a "dot" in a city doesn't make the city photogenic. :)

They better use the electric vehicle of Dumaguete.

[Sinjin P.]

^ No we wont, there isn't much leg space :ohno:

[ritche]

^ No we wont, there isn't much leg space :ohno:

The EV whose pictures and video are posted somewhere in this forum is only the prototype. Since the Dumaguete-based engineers now have the technology which they gained through years of stint in the US, they can actually do what they want with it whether they will fit it into high end vehicles with some additional R&D. And with that breakthrough, Dumaguete and Oriental Negros, and the whole Island of Negros as well, now have the potential to be the hub of manufacturing for EVs, not just in the Philippines but even in the whole of Southeast Asia. Truly, a hub for technology research and development is rising here.

[GearX]

OT: How much does one EV cost?

Is it because Davao City is independent from any other pronvince? :)

[Sinjin P.]

^ Yes.

[habagatcentral1]

Is it because Davao City is independent from any other pronvince? :)

Yes. Its a chartered city yet it was once the capital of one Davao province before it was divided sometime in the mid-20th Century.

Same case for Cotabato City. Although lost its prominence as the capital after what was once the largest province in the Philippines (Cotabato) was divided into several provinces, the Capitol still exists hidden in PC Hill.

[iloilocitykid]

^^ Do they still use the capitol?

[animasola]

Yes. Its a chartered city yet it was once the capital of one Davao province before it was divided sometime in the mid-20th Century.

Same case for Cotabato City. Although lost its prominence as the capital after what was once the largest province in the Philippines (Cotabato) was divided into several provinces, the Capitol still exists hidden in PC Hill.

Isn't Cebu a chartered city as well? That is why Cebu City citizens can't vote for a Governor.

[habagatcentral1]

^^ Do they still use the capitol?
Yes (back last year) as an extension to the cramped old city hall of Cotabato. Today I have no idea since they have a new city hall outside the downtown area. Hope that they restore it or maintain it as it's architectural magnum opus of Cotabato City.

Isn't Cebu a chartered city as well? That is why Cebu City citizens can't vote for a Governor.

Yes. It is. Same with Iloilo City in which they cannot vote for the Gov and the provincial gov't officials.

[GearX]

Is it because Davao City is independent from any other pronvince? :)

because Capitol Buildings are only located in the province's capital, whether a city or municipality....The presence of Capitol Buildings does not necessarily mean that the host also votes for the provincial officials. e.g. Cebu City, capital of Cebu Province but is a chartered city. Only component cities vote for provincial officials

@bariQ

..if i'm not mistaken, those are villas for rent which is part of Crown Regency Hotel Mactan

makati has the best skyline. it is home to the most of the buildings you can easily identify. but makati lacks good geographical features.

iloilo, cebu and albay have good geagraphical locations. i just wish these cities would have enough talls to scrape their skylines.

batangas city is also nice to look at from the sea.

^^Same here. Coz of the Midtown hotel. :D

[PINOYmeat]

^^ funny. but ever since the "new" uptown shifted to ban-tal-ayala area, fuente was named the midtown area.

What's the difference between an uptown, a midtown and a downtown? :)

[diehardbisdak]

What's the difference between an uptown, a midtown and a downtown?

...in Cebu City, it's the location.... from south/eastern which is downtown to north/western which is the uptown ....and the middle of these two is the mid-town... though, i don't know if there's such classifications of these three...

You can really see how well planned Ayala Avenue is. Everything except the Fort and Ortigas seems a mess.

[icarusrising]

malayo ba ang ortigas cbd, fbc, makati cbd sa isat isa? pano kaya kung magiging isang malaking cbd sila? :D

I believe we're headed towards that direction. If you think of EDSA as the main thoroughfare for Metro Manila where goods and services pass through, all of these CBDs are at the side of the corridor. Pasay and Manila Bay area at the end.

I saw a footage of Arch. Palafox saying he was able to predict the rise of the Ortigas CBD decades before it became what it is now and that has something to do with the presence of the EDSA corridor and the distance of Makati from QC, the dormitory city. Well, Makati is still the main CBD and QC still has the biggest population among all the Metro Manila cities. We can expect more developments along this corridor. Also there would be more satellite CBDs to mitigate the distance between home and the workplace.

session road, baguio city

hmm...can anybody who is in Baguio now post some pictures. It is kinda cumbersome hunting them from one thousand miles away

[frustratedarchitect]

yeah there is such a law as paying fines for the pine trees you cut illegally. But I have no idea if that law still takes effect at all.

Every city in the Philippines is "photogenic" in its own way. And avoid useless comparison. In some way, this thread motivates me to visit other cities as well.

[frustratedarchitect]

Cebu looks very nice. Its transforming itself into a real skyscrapercity

[dabert]

Cebu doesn't even have a single skyscraper yet (if we base it on SSC's definition). imho, even though there are 2 skyscrapers underconstruction and 1 on the pre-selling stage, Cebu is still far from becoming a true skyscrapercity. :)

[frustratedarchitect]

I lived in places with no skyscrapers (as based on SSC's definition)..Baguio, Lubeck, even Berlin has relatively few tall structures that could comapre top asian boomtowns liek Shanghai or Dubai.( except for the Fersehtaum.) SO Im just pretty impressed that a southern city in the Philippines would have this much development. And I believe it doesnt take overnight for a city's skyline to change. By "transformation" I mean it would take 10 years or more.

By the way, what is SSC's definition for skyscraper?

I mean the standard height of the building to be called a skyscraper.

Thanks! :)

[Sinjin P.]

Skyscraper = 100 meters and above tall
Highrise Building = 12 storeys and above tall

[dabert]

100m is around 25 to 30 storeys for comparison's sake. :D

[diehardbisdak]

so, Cebu has 3 already: Winland Tower 1 & 2 and Crown Regency... and in the future: Ultima Residences Fuente and Ultima Residences Ramos....right?

[Ex!lE]

^^how about Honkong Plaza and Grand Cenia? Both are 25 storeys, right?

[diehardbisdak]

^^ yeah....
