PHOTOGRAPHY and WORDS BY MARIANO SAYNO

The Cultural Center of the Philippines or CCP was founded in 1966 under the directive of former President Ferdinand Marcos, in order to reinforce and preserve the cultural identity of the Philippines. It provides performance and exhibition venues for local and international productions at the 150-acre Cultural Center of the Philippines complex, located right in the heart of beloved cities Pasay and Manila.

Moreover, the CCP houses the Tanghalang Pambansa or National Theater, designed by the late National Artist for Architecture, Leandro V. Locsin. The National Theater has welcomed various performers, politicians, and heads of states over the years. It has also hosted notable international events, and continues to provide a stage for national and international performances. 

 

The Cultural Center of the Philippines also caters to families and friends looking to bond and create unforgettable moments. At night, the place is a favorite spot by locals who just want to relax and marvel at the fountain display that is beautifully illuminated. The CCP is not just a hub for arts and culture but also a spot where people can simply enjoy the best of the Philippines.
