calling the attention of intramuros administration, yung garbage bins sa gilid ng red cross building ang tagal ng hindi naalisan ng basura at nangangalingasaw na.
kakahiya sa mga turistang dumadaan. wala na ngang maayos na sidewalk na malakaran mabaho pa ang maaamoy.

Kumusta na ang Ayuntamiento?

noli-kun · January 15th, 2012, 01:22 PM

I know U/C pa rin sya. Pero nagtataka lang ako, nawala yung fan page account ng Ayuntamiento sa Facebook. Hindi na tuloy ako makakita ng updates dun.

diz · January 15th, 2012, 11:55 PM

Kea nga nagtanong na din ako.

Im not really familiar with Intramuros, but does the site next to Luneta Hotel offers such view? Coz this skydeck and its view is one of the main attractions of BayLeaf Hotel. And if i may ask, why is it considered to be located in a wrong place?

diz · January 16th, 2012, 11:47 AM

i would have preferred intramuros restoring its old structures much like warsaw is doing. manila is a lost cause, but there's still hope for intramuros.

also, in the second last picture, you can see the luneta hotel.

this was how the old building beside mapua looks like before the laurel's turned it to the bay leaf hotel, from aco.com.ph:

imo it won't have the same spectacular view as the present location offers considering the bay leaf's height and the surrounding buildings. another advantage of its present location is that it is assured of unobstructed 360-degree view of intramuros and other surrounding areas (rizal park, fort santiago, manila city hall, port area, quiapo, post office, sta. cruz, etc) for a long time since there are height restrictions for new structures within intramuros.

Nice work for Bayleaf!

Wolfranz · January 16th, 2012, 04:52 PM

The Bayleaf hotel is a hideous monstrosity. WRONG scale, WRONG location, WRONG interpretation of colonial Spanish architecture. What were they thinking?????

Asturiano · January 17th, 2012, 01:00 AM

The building is nice but is somewhat out of place because of its height and the style does not conform to the history of intramuros. Anyway, They still did a good job compare to the old building that used to stand in its place.

Wolfranz · January 17th, 2012, 01:54 AM

Just my two cents.

We should not benchmark on what's there before, but rather on the true standards. If we keep on compromising, we would reduce all our built heritage to the appearance of some Disneyland. By then, Intramuros would truly be a lost cause.

+1.

Anyway masarap yung churros nya sa Chocolat coffee shop at the ground floor. Often see many foreign tourists having snacks there. If only IA can keep the place clean and teach the students not to throw rubbish everywhere.
