Along with G.T International, this is my favorite building(s) in The Philippines. There are two of em' actually.

I love the color, curves, glass/facade and the interior and atrium looks execellent. 10/10. This is the country's biggest office complex and it is also the most advaced in terms of IT.

Thanks for putting my pic, Luis:D

Ah, the paternal twin complex of RCBC.

Graecful lines and curves. Beautiful and elegant glass.

Thanks museum...

...270m?!!

Thats tall enough to be in the top100! Hmmmm..when was it completed?

wow 270m tall. Bigger than the USX here :(

6/10

woah! 888ft?? So the RCBC tower's taller than the PBcom which has 848ft. Can anyone confirm this height??

whatever its height they're great buildings.

9/10

YEP . .very crisp and beautiful . .9/10 here.:cheers:

No way is it 270 meters!!! Take a look at the skyline pic. RCBC Plaza is at the left of the pointy GT International Tower and its clearly smaller than the 850 foot PBCom Tower, the tallest building at the centre.

But this building is awesome indeed. Its the largest office complex in the Philippines and also the most expensive at a cost of almost $400 million USD! :cool:

8/10. I like it.

LOL!! no way is this taller than PBcom!! It is just bigger. Infact, it is the biggest office complex in the country, surpassing the Textite Towers in Ortigas.

Yes, it is very expensive. It is the most advanced in the Philippines. Internet connection there is so fast, everything at a blink of an eye.

RCBC Plaza is 270m or 888ft to roof.

270 meters?

Museumb, where did you get that data?

whoaaa....this is my fave makati building!

nice curves and facade! plus there are two towers!
must be another father and son?

what if GT has a father too?

there are nice photos around,why not post them here?
it's about as tall as GT Tower. the actual height is not disclosed...right?

10/10 from me!!!:D

yea, one of my favourites. haven't been inside though. anyone willing to tour me? :bash: waa. i'm desperate. do i have to have a special business to be able to enter?:cheers:

I don't think you don't. Just go to Starbucks inside if you want or tour the museum...

nice to know that.

it's too slow at home. i can't speedily upload in imagestation. i'm supposed to post pics of rcbc plaza.

btw, can i take pics in the museum? is there an entrance fee?

Nice tower.But the design doesn't blow me of my chair.The wind does though.... :rant: 7.5/10

here's another pic:

you should assume you got a business. i dunno if the security are very strict w/ visitors.
we went there for a play last year. the lobby was real real AWESOME. i think i've seen it on several TV ads. there are two theaters i guess and a museum. seems it feels great to have an office up there!
i heard there's a job fair at the level 3 canteen this month, i dunno when. maybe, that would let you in this time. ill lend you my resume, then you look a job for me...hehehe...

nice plan...but you have to pay me to do that for you. j/k

can students hunt for jobs too?

and does that mean if you get accepted you'd work inside? cos if it does, then maybe i can enter there once you got accepted

if you're real desperate to have a job there, there's a call center that's hiring graduates of any course. i dunno if you are interested. i tried to apply online, but no status yet. i dunno how the job works. what i know is...they are at the tower 2, tho just at the 11th floor. but once working inside, you might have the chance to get to the upper floors, probably at the helipad...! hehe...nice prospect. but that's a not-so-good reason of applying for the job.

there was this job opening at Merck (Chemical company)...whose office is at 24th floor of GT. That almost encouraged me to try. But the job would require you to be on field...and probably be up there only once a week, or once a month.

nway, maybe we could visit those stunning buildings even if we are not working inside.

call center jobs are the last resort of graduates who don't wanna bum around for a few mroe months. but i can't get into that job. i'm still a freshman student.

yea. nice. we could probably go inside this building after we get nice shots of the scrapers at magallanes station.

some more pics. enjoy
