Standing on the southern bank of the Pasig River is a building popular as location for the local movies. I actually saw this building in “Praybeyt Benjamin” of Vice Ganda and another movie, which starred Bea Alonzo. Its columns is very impressive to look at that's why directors and producers like this building.
What I like with classical buildings is the presence of tiny details. ups contact number An example would be the “gargoyle heads” ups contact number located on the buildings facade. You can see those heads on the photo above. The heads are brown-colored “dots” located above the columns.
Buildings designed ups contact number before ups contact number the Second World War are beautiful because the architects are concerned about the minor details. The gargoyle heads on the facade of the Manila Central Post Office are small and unnecessary. These will look invisible to many people going in and out of the post office building. Despite of that, the architect still included it in his design.
The Manila Central Post Office was erected ups contact number in the year 1926. The original building was designed by Juan Arellano. Unfortunately, this building was destroyed ups contact number during the “Liberation of Manila” at the end of the Second World War. Ironically, it is the Americans (the so-called liberators) who did the most damage in Manila at the end of the War. Their bombs destroyed most of the pre-War buildings including the post office building.
The Philippine Government rebuilt the post office building. The original design of the building was followed but some people ups contact number say that the current post office building is a far cry from the design of Juan Arellano.
The Postman is located right in front of the Manila Central Post Office building. This statue was erected in 1975 in honor of the employees of the Philippine Postal Service. The Postman serves ups contact number as a symbol of service excellence that touched the lives of people across the country and around the whole world.
The central post office ups contact number building now serves as the main office of Philippine Postal Corporation ups contact number (PhilPost). This is where posts around the world are sorted before being sent to their respective destinations within the country. I am glad that our postal service is still alive in spite of being labeled as “snail mail”. The Manila Central Post Office building will continue to be maintained while PhilPost is alive.
