Reflection Photography

Reflection photography is also known as mirror photography. Its basic premise is capturing an image that also has a reflective surface that is echoing the surrounding scenery. It can be in a setting as huge as the ocean, or as small as a raindrop. As long as there is a reflective surface, magic can be made. Although we have mentioned bodies of water as examples, anything that is reflective can work. This means that mirrors, tiles, or even windows are a great medium to get started with reflection photography.

ILOILO CONVENTION CENTER

The convention center site was formerly Mandurao Airport (former Airport of Iloilo) until it ceased operations in 2007 and was demolished from 2012 to 2013. Megaworld Corporation developed the site and they built sets of attractive buildings or simply IG-worthy buildings. This is why Iloilo Convention Center was designed this way. Touring the Megaworld site makes Iloilo City one of the cleanest, most well-designed modern urban landscapes in the Philippines.

The Paraw-Regatta Festival inspires the iconic facade of the Iloilo Convention Center. Did you know that Paraw Regatta Festival is a Visayan outrigger sailboat racing held along the Dinagyang Festival? The triangle shape sails are used as an aesthetic rhythmic form of the convention center which becomes Iloilo’s signature landmark similar to Cebu’s Magellan’s Cross, the USA’s Statue of Liberty, and France’s Eiffel Tower.

The building was designed by an Ilonggo Architect, William Coscolluela. He is the principal architect of W.V Coscolluela & Associates (WVCA). The firm also designed famous buildings in the Philippines such as SM Aura Premier, SM Mall of Asia, and the Zuellig Building. In my view WVCA firm designs massive, iconing, and world-class quality buildings. His sons Ar. Gary and Ar. Gil continues his legacy of quality, innovation, and applying green architecture.

7 Must-Visit Architecture in the Philippines

7.Where We Build Your Visions

GALUA PLUS Architectural Design Studio is an architecture firm established in 1998 ( the former name was RD Galua Associates). It is dedicated to providing a diversified range of services from space planning and design, to project development and management. It also offers consultancy services not only for architectural design but as well as for sustainable development.

Pursuant to Executive Order No. 366 , the BIR offices throughout the country will stablished their own Document Processing Division in every Regional Offices, or proximate to the same office, ensuring for the exclusivity of such Division where returns shall be archived in its storage facility. Thus, results to the creation of a permanent DPD Building for each Regional Office throughout the country. This three storey Document Processing Division Records building comprises of offices, conference room, and huge document storage.

6. Zuellig Building, Makati

Situated at the busy intersection of Makati Avenue and Paseo de Roxas, Zuellig Building sits right in Makati City’s heart, the Philippines’ business hub located in Metro Manila.

Known for its financial institutions and upmarket hotels, the area is home to some impressive skyscrapers; but nothing quite compares to the glistening sky-rise that is the Zuellig.

Notable for its environmentally conscious design and modern technologies, the 155-meter high building has daylight dimming sensors, rainwater harvesting facilities and a double glazed low emission curtain wall.

In 2013 it was the Philippines’ first building to qualify for the Platinum certification level by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

Unfortunately, with it being a primary office tower, you can’t quickly go inside unless you have an official business meeting. But admiring the sun reflecting off this impressive contemporary building from the outside is reason enough to visit this spot.

While you’re there, be sure to talk for a walk in the neighbouring Ayala Triangle, a famous park in Manila. You can also join Manila tours that include attractions in Makati City.

5. The Ruins, Talisay, Negros Occidental

On a sugar plantation in Negros Occidental province near Bacolod City lies The Ruins in Talisay, a massive ancestral Italianate mansion.

Join trips and experiences in Bacolod City that includes The Ruins

As the story goes, in the 1900s, a sugarcane baron named Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson built this ten-bedroomed mansion in memory of his beloved wife, who had died during the pregnancy of their 11th child.

If that wasn’t tragic enough, the building was set on fire by WWII Filipino guerrillas employed by the US Army to prevent the Japanese from using it as their headquarters.

Check out other activities and attractions in Bacolod City.

Despite its turbulent history, which included burning for three days, the frame of the enormous residence still stands, surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns. Today The Ruins are an architectural marvel and a much-visited tourist attraction.

As you walk through the shell of what was once a luxury family mansion and admire the intricate Italian-inspired decor, you can all but picture what life was like for its residents a long time ago.

4. The Mind Museum, Taguig

If you’re in the mood for something more modern, it doesn’t get much more inspiring than the Mind Museum. Taking five years to complete, this futuristic building in Taguig is the brainchild of father and son duo Lor and Ed Calma, who is said to be a formidable force in architecture.

What sets this building apart is its unusual design. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? The structure is inspired by cellular network and growth, fitting for the country’s first interactive science museum.

In 2014 this landmark work won an international award from the 20th annual Thea Awards for taking the “extra step in expanding science into a fully experiential world.”

It would be a real shame to visit this mind-boggling structure without spending hours of fun interacting with its 250 science galleries and exhibits.

3. San Agustin Church, Manila

San Agustin Church, Immaculate Conception Parish, or the Archdiocesan Shrine of Nuestra Señora de Consolacion y Correa is a sight to behold.

Located in the historic Intramuros or Walled City in Manila, this massive stone building is the oldest and most iconic religious buildings in the Philippines.

Browse Intramuros tours that include the San Agustin Church

The Spaniards built the perfect example of early Baroque in the 16-century, who brought both Spanish and Chinese influences to its architectural style. As you enter the hollow interiors of this historic church, pause a moment to take in the details.

The symmetric Latin cross plan, the abundance of religious relics and those beautiful trompe l’oeil frescos on the vaulted ceiling are enough to take your breathe away. San Agustin Church is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and still an active church today.

2. Calle Crisologo, Vigan

Another UNESCO World Heritage spot to tick off your list, the Calle Crisologo, is not so much a specific building as it is an entire street of architectural wonders.

Considered the most beautiful street in the Philippines, the more than 500-meter long Crisologo Street sits within Vigan, the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia.

Browse Calle Crisologo tours for your Vigan getaway

Taking a stroll along the cobblestone streets is like taking a walk back in time. Filled with colonial architecture from Spanish colonization in the 18th century, take note of the preserved rustic mansions, giant antique wooden doors and overall festive street ambience.

Find out what other Vigan activities and attractions you shouldn’t miss

If you’re really in the mood for some old-world charm, catch one of the many calesas, the beautifully bright horse-drawn carriages used as the country’s main form of transportation up until the early 20th century.

1. Intramuros, Manila

No list of the Phillippines’ most beautiful architectural spots would be complete without mentioning Intramuros.

The historic centre and oldest district in Manila, Intramuros, literally meaning “within the walls” in Latin, is a fortified city surrounded by ancient walls dating back to the 16th century.

Established as the Spanish capital by conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in the late 1500s, the walled city is brimming with centuries-old history architecture to admire.

Right in the heart of it all is Fort Santiago Fortress, the historic citadel with picturesque gardens where national hero, José Rizal, spent his last days.

The Casa Manila Museum depicts what 19th century Manila homes would have looked like inside and out, while the Manila Cathedral is an example of Romanesque Revival architecture.

Whether you’re a history buff, an Rey Galua architecture lover, or merely a curious tourist, Intramuros is a must-visit.

With one of Asia’s longest and most multicultural histories, the Philippines is home to some truly unique and inspiring architecture.

This list has only just scratched the surface of places for architecture lovers to explore, but no doubt that once you visit this incredible country, you’ll find much, much more.

Greener Marketing

As we end the discussion for this term, we dig deeper into the company’s strategies to incorporate sustainability. I was amazed at the companies that already started and the investments that they already made.

One example strategy is Green Design. In developing new products, companies could already design a sustainable product, which may require additional investment because they would need to do more research to look for a greener alternative. We discussed that Zuellig Building is LEED accredited, and it was structure to be more sustainable. I am familiar with this building because I worked in Makati for a few years, and it was a beautiful building. Now that I know how this building was built, I find it more attractive and inspiring. It made me realize that if a company wants to be sustainable, there are many ways to do that, and they could go big and aim for international certifications. This would be good for the company and the environment and the surrounding society around them as well. We also discussed Green Positioning, where companies promote their sustainability performance and those of their products and services. For this, we looked at Body Shop and realized that they are already promoting values at the onset.  They have protested against animal testing, and they have been vocal about their advocacies, and I think this became one of their competitive advantages. Because of this, I become more attracted to this brand and realized that if I would patronize these brands, it would not only benefit the company but also the advocacies that they are promoting. We also discussed Green Logistics and how companies made sure that they have frustration-free packaging. In our example, we looked at the frustration-free packaging of Amazon and how they made 100% recyclable materials, easy to open, and designed to ship in their original packaging. Because of this, I have become more conscious of my online deliveries and how they are packed. I realized that even though I patronize sustainable products, there are still chances that they will not be good for the environment because of their packing and how they are shipped to me. During this pandemic, my online purchases have increased, and I noticed that online platforms such as Lazada and Shopee added more packaging which contributes to the harmful materials to the environment. Because of this, I am committed to looking for alternative stores that offer more sustainable packaging. Lastly, we discussed Green Pricing where companies added a premium for their products for being green. I think this would be more effective if companies were able to give justice to the increase in price and if it would be more beneficial to the consumers. 

We also discussed greenwashing, where companies are conveying false claims about the sustainability of their products. Greenwashing is alarming because companies are taking advantage of consumers, and if consumers were not vigilant, it would be bad for the environment. One example company that we discussed is H&M, where they mentioned that they are sourcing sustainable materials, but they are not. Before, I was a consumer of H&M brands because I find their product cheaper and more fashionable than other brands. Still, I became more aware and realized the harmful effects of their unstainable sourcing products because of this issue. Also, I checked more about fast fashion, and I realized that this has many damaging impacts on the environment and contributes a lot to landfills. Because of this, I was more conscious about where I bought my clothes. I am committed to understanding the company’s ethical sourcing before I buy its products. If consumers were more aware, companies would be forced to change their business processes and be more sustainable.

Sky’s The Limit

As the country continues to develop, the price of lands just continues to soar. The most economic solution to this problem is for structures to reach for the sky. Sky’s the limit for buildings (a caption I wrote for this photo circa 2013)...

I won a photo contest, UP Aggregates’ Photofest, back in 2013.
