When the Manila Metropolitan Theater (abbreviated as MET) was formally opened on December 10, 1931, it was considered the country’s first national theater. In 1973, it was inscribed as a National Historic Landmark. The National Museum of the Philippines declared it a National Culture Treasure in 2010 because it’s a unique, well-preserved Art Deco building of an outstanding size in Asia.

It hasn't been always been in the limelight since its opening. Before it re-acquired its stature as the "Grand Dame of Manila," the building has suffered. The MET was damaged during the 1945 Battle of Manila and was used for various purposes in the following years—as a boxing gym, a seedy motel, a gay bar, a basketball court, a garage, and a warehouse. It was restored under the auspices of Imelda Marcos in 1978 and then shuttered again in 1996 due to conflicts of ownership between the City of Manila and the government insurance company that sponsored its restoration. 

A government arm, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) bought the theater from the the government insurance company in 2015 and started restoration work in February 2017. After its most extensive public restoration efforts, the MET reopened on December 10, 2021—90 years after its inauguration

The building was designed by a Filipino architect Juan M. Arrelano, who had to undertake additional studies in the United States to learn theater design, as he had previously specialized in Neoclassical buildings. His earlier works include the nearby National Museum of Fine Arts, Manila Post Office, and Jones Bridge.

The MET is known for its Art Deco design, but Arrelano made sure that Filipino decorative elements were incorporated throughout the building: batik patterns of the southern Mindanaon regions, capiz lamps, and banana leaf pillars. It gets better when you look up at the ceiling of the main theater, which is embellished with mangoes, bananas, and tropical leaves.

Puteri Indonesia DKI Jakarta 5 Regional Costume: The Legend of Batavia Maskerspel

This costume was inspired by the picture of Jakarta as a port city where the exchange of commodities between the nations of China, India, Arabia, Europe and the Archipelago took place. At the head there is a ship shape that indicates the city of Jakarta has the main sea line trading area from several states in the northern part of Jakarta. While the foundation part of the ship is the Kota Tua museum building as one of Jakarta's landmarks that are not far from the harbor area. For the reason the exchange became a cultural unity depicted by the Betawi mask dance. The mask dance was initially pinned because the dancer wore a mask, developing from the popular game in its history called Klain Maskerspel in Dutch which means "mask game". Living up to its name, the dancer will use a wooden mask as a face cover. The merriment that is a characteristic of Betawi culture is also shown in the colorful Betawi dress as well as depicting the diversity of people who come from various areas throughout Indonesia to live in the city of Jakarta. Dancer costume wrapped with Jakarta Batik with a touch of bamboo shoots stump motif combined with Monas building motifs, Ondel-ondel, Tanjidor musical instrument as well as coconut flowers signature of Betawi culture.

This is Poland, where the art of Indonesian batik has been practiced for over a century.

Maria Wronska-Friend, the anthropologist and museum curator at Australia’s James Cook University says that she first encountered batik in a museum in her native Poland. 

The story that Wronska-Friend tells is remarkable. Polish botanists working for the Dutch in Bogor, West Java, in the late 19th century were surprised to encounter batik textiles, which they said resembled a similar wax-dyeing technique Polish people used to decorate Easter eggs. The samples of Indonesian batik that they brought back to Poland, along with a contemporary Dutch vogue for batik, triggered a creative movement. Batik, as Wronska-Friend says, quickly made the jump from eggshell to cloth in Poland.

 By the 1920s, there were three how-to books about Javanese batik published in Poland. Polish artisans even started to use Javanese-style canting (wax pens), as opposed to their traditional tools. In Cracow between 1913 and 1925, there were workshops, some comprised of teenaged girls, where artisans made batik textiles adopted from patterns almost indistinguishable from those in Indonesia.
