88 Street Roofdeck

Every building has a roof. Every establishment across the world like hotels, restaurants, and bars have a roof. And yet, most of them aren’t used for anything other than housing the air conditioning and heating units and perhaps filming Hangover movie sequels.

But very few of those same establishments do anything creative, fun, or useful with their roof outside of the extremely practical. Sure, some of them may have a little sitting area or even a tiny pool up there, but how many buildings can you look at and truly say that the roof is the highlight of the whole aesthetic – and experience?

That’s the case with the 88 Street Roofdeck, or also just called “The Roofdeck.” Situated at the top floor (I believe it to be the 11th floor of the new, modern, and amiable Central Park Resort in the budding city of Angeles in the Philippines, it delivers just about everything you could need to enjoy your stay – all at home.

Once you come up the duel elevators to The Roofdeck, you’ll walk out into a grand lobby with high ceilings and ornate fixtures. However, this lobby is open-air, contained under a sub-roof but free standing on the actual main roof of the hotel!

From there, you see a full Irish-style pub, with a rich dark wood bar with a brass rail and rustic brick walls, hanging with bar mirrors and signs just like you would witness at any other tavern. But this whole bar, wrapping around 270 degrees, can probably accommodate 50 people! Needless to say, they’re equipped with everything you’d see at any other full-service bar, despite the fact that this one is outdoors and 11 stories up in the tropics.

Meandering around the confines of the roof, the highlight is the infinity swimming pool, which is shaped as two rectangles and has a clean, modern checkered tile look. The pool edge “disappears” off the roof into a spectacular view of the small city and then the green countryside further out, including a dormant volcano on the horizon!

Besides the pool, they have three cabana areas where you can lounge under shade covers on comfortable outdoor sofas, and under artsy lighting at night, just like you were chilling with your friends in your living room.

On the other side of the pool and lining the bar area are plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas to sit, eat, and drink. They also have a whole outdoor stage area decorated in nice stone tiles where live bands play on the weekends. For nights when the bands aren’t playing, they have a large white wall build behind the stage where they project movies and videos each evening!

If it’s raining, too hot, or you just want to be indoors, they also have a separate full indoor coffee shop on the roof deck, and a restaurant sitting area!

Even better, 88 Street Roofdeck is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and even has wifi (I sit up here and work every morning).

I like this hotel anyways, but it will make it damn hard to stay anywhere else in Angeles City or even Manila that can beat this setup!

Gateway Gallery celebrated the second year of its “Sining Saysay: Philippine History in Art” exhibit by launching a digital interface that utilizes augmented reality (AR) to recount Philippine history and make it more interesting to an increasingly digital-savvy generation.

On February 22, the Gallery launched “Sining Lakbay: Philippine History in Augmented Reality,” a project that marries art and technology to give visitors a more enhanced experience of its long-term collection.

The event was attended by guests of honor like:

Mrs. Judy Araneta Roxas, president of the J. Amado Araneta Foundation president and vice chairman of the Araneta Center, Inc.

Manolo Roxas, grandson of Philippine president Manuel L. Roxas

Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc chairperson Stella Marquez-Araneta

esteemed painter Betsy Westendorp

Divina Gracia Pascua, OIC of the Culture and Tourism Affairs Office

Dinky Soliman, former DSWD secretary

as well as Binibini queens Nicole Codroves, Jennifer Hammond, and Nichole Manalo

and 2016 Miss International Kylie Verzosa.

During the event, guests were able to test the AR feature and were encouraged to go around the Gallery to experience it first-hand. Ten DOT-accredited history teachers from various Quezon City schools served as Gallery Guides.

Art and AR

The “Sining Lakbay” project is a product of careful and creative implementation spearheaded by artists, filmmakers, historians, curators, editors, and technology providers.

It aims to be a platform for gallery guests to have a more enriched experience of “Sining Saysay”, a collection of 30 large history paintings that resulted from the collaboration between the University of the Philippines and the Araneta Center.

“Sining Lakbay” also aims to create awareness of history among the youth by appealing to their interest in digital technology.

Watching Philippine History unfold on their devices

To Gallery visitors a more immersive experience, 10 paintings from the collection will “come to life” on their WIFI-enabled digital devices like mobile phones and tablets using the Layar app that can be downloaded for free (on iOS and Android).

Users will then be able to scan the selected paintings on their device to watch the video and hear the narration on chapters of Philippine history.

The videos are accurate historical accounts of events depicted in the paintings. Each video lasts roughly three minutes, with the whole tour lasting about 30 minutes total.

This launch is just the first phase of an even bigger project of making all 30 paintings in the collection AR-enabled.

Gateway Gallery: Here and now

Gateway Gallery opened on November 21, 2014. Its long-term exhibit, “Sining Saysay: Philippine History in Art,” opened to the public on Feb. 18, 2015.

The Sining Saysay artists are:

Grace Alfonso

Don Artificio

Bim Bacaltos

Adi Baen-Santos

Grandier Bella

Angel Cacnio

Romy Carlos

Cris Cruz

Dennis Dasco

brothers Simkin and Vincent de Pio with their father Gig de Pio

Neil Doloricon

Norman Dreo

Ding Hidalgo

the late Abdulmari Asia Imao, National Artist for Visual Arts

Ben Infante

Junyee

Aileen Lanuza

Romy Mananquil

Norly Meimban

Jonal Salvosa

Julius Samson

Randy Solon

Michael Velasco

and Janice Young

In over two years of operations, the Gallery has grown its art collection to 50 artworks donated by various artists. Attendance has also risen to an average of 200 visitors a day in the same period.

Last year, it received an accreditation from the Department of Tourism.

The Gallery will continue to expand its horizons this year, providing artists a home to hone and showcase their craft, and giving the Filipino public a haven of learning and creativity. Projects lined up for this year include: the Reading Nook, a mini library for all ages, highlighted by story-telling sessions for kids in partnership with Adarna Publishing; and Bravo Weekend, which showcases Filipino culture through music and dance.

With its vision to make arts and culture accessible to ordinary Filipinos, Gateway Gallery will continue programs that introduce arts to young children, holding art workshops for hobbyists, portrait sketching sessions for professional artists, and hosting talks by artists and historians.

Located at the 5th level of the Gateway Tower at the Araneta Center, Gateway Gallery is free to the public and is open Mondays to Sundays from 10am to 7pm. It is supported and managed by the J. Amado Araneta Foundation, the CSR arm of the Araneta Group.
