Metro Manila - Philippines - Page 3

LouisvilleS · January 23rd, 2003, 03:40 AM

I'd give it an 8.5/10. It is a stunning, tall skyline--the only problems are there aren't any old buildings (art deco, etc) and I see a few gaps that need to be filled in!

Otherwise, it is perfect, and absolutely breath-taking!

Great photos. First time i heard about this city. very nice skyline. Indeed, i think it is more organized than Makati's skyline.

luis4083 · January 23rd, 2003, 06:54 AM

XXX you have posted wrong pictures...it is strictly concerning ortigas and other parts of metro manila is not included

Ortigas Center......Some more.................

ryanr · January 23rd, 2003, 01:16 PM

Please, remove all the Makati and Manila pics! They will cause confusion. This thread is for rating Ortigas. You can move them to the Makati and Manila threads, if you want.

Anyway, those additional shots were good

renell · January 23rd, 2003, 04:24 PM

i keep on blaming myself for not able to go to Ortigas last January. i should have gone to the Podium.

SKYLINEPIGEON · January 23rd, 2003, 04:40 PM

some additional pictures posted does not belong to this thread this is purely ortigas, but i saw one picture of makati and other places that surely must not be in ortigas or must be somewhere else in metro manila

Rainier Meadows · January 25th, 2003, 05:08 AM

Ortigas is impressive - 8.5/10

This one snuck up on me - those pics are great! ~

January 26th, 2003, 11:54 AM

Hmmm... nice, better than what I was expecting! 7.5/10

ryanr · January 29th, 2003, 10:02 AM

Pictures i took last summer: (these go in order from left of the skyline to right, if attached it is a panorama

)

mookiecece · January 31st, 2003, 09:59 PM

nice, 9/10. it'd look better with more glass buildings

Virtute · February 3rd, 2003, 11:28 AM

Geez, the last time I was in Ortigas was 1980!!!!! I almost fell out of my seat seeing all these highrises!!! Great job!

luis4083 · February 12th, 2003, 08:16 AM

nice additional pics greyX, thank you so much

My Favorite (posted by Luis)

even if most of the taller ones are not included in this pic, i
would have to say this is my favorite makati pic.

this picture makes Makati look so vibrant and alive... and it
doesn't only look like it... it really is. (vibrant and alive, that is)

DrumCorpsAlum · February 13th, 2003, 04:27 PM

Great skyline, definately has an Asian feel. I nice balance in styles of structures but not that much of a difference in height, in other words, it doesn't have that focal point, Emerald City type look to it, although it has great height. Overall an impressive skyline. 8/10.

DrumCorpsAlum · February 13th, 2003, 04:27 PM

Who the hell gave it a 3?

Yeah i know what you mean, even though the taller skyscrapers aren't in the picture, that is one of the best Makati Pictures.
It is also one of my favorites. Makes Makati so alive!!

I also like the sunset picture.

dunno...

prolly someone that wants to lower the average ranking of this skyline. Other polls such as the KL one are in the same situation.

Well in that case, its time to bring out the big guns to increase the average ranking!
