THE
CCP COMPLEX
The
Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Complex
is the arts center of the country. Located along Roxas
Boulevard in Pasay City, this is the premier venue for
ballet presentations, concerts, stage plays, performances,
exhibits and trade fairs. Inaugurated in 1969, the CCP
comprises a fine concert hall seating 2,000 plus an
intimate 400-seat theater as well as a library, museum,
art gallery, and an upscale restaurant. The lobby is
opulent, with marble floors, curving staircases, and
glass and kapis-shell chandeliers.
Also
within the complex is the Coconut Palace, an
architectural wonder made from the coconut tree mixed
with other indigenous material. The Philippine International
Convention Center (PICC), the Product Design
and Development Center, the Folk Arts Theater,
Philippine Center for International Trade and Exhibitions
(PHILCITE), Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel and
Manila Film Center are also found here.
Beside
the CCP Complex is the World Trade Center, while
fronting it is the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
(BSP) building. The BSP houses two museums: the Money
Museum, which showcases excavated antique gold jewelry
and the Metropolitan Museum, a repository of
classic Filipino paintings and a host of rotating international
art exhibitions.
Roxas
Boulevard is also lined up by de-luxe and standard hotels,
lively nightclubs, and the Cuneta Sport Center,
home of the Philippine Basketball Association
(PBA).
