The Manila City Hall is symbolically synonymous to the city of Metro Manila and its adjacent cities.
Architect Antonio Toledo designed this landmark and its construction was finished in the 1930s. The present structure is a restoration after it was partially destroyed during the World War II.
I took this picture during my audition for Survivor Philippines, which i wont do it again. Hahaha.

Interesting trivia. Will keep note on that, but i have to verify that to other though.
Thanks.
