Home of Philippine culture

The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City, was inaugurated in 1969 with the purpose of preserving Filipino arts and culture. Its resident companies include the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, UST Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Philippines, Philippine Ballet Theater, Tanghalang Pilipino, Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, Bayanihan Philippine National Folk Dance Company and Philippine Madrigal Singers. Of course, with its five theaters and six exhibit halls, it also serves as the premier venue for international dance, music and theater groups that perform in the Philippines. The fountain and lawn in front of the CCP is also a popular picnic area for the residents of congested neighborhoods nearby. I've come to realize though that I might never be able to take a photo of the CCP with the fountain on. We only go there for performances and the fountain's only turned on about half an hour before they begin, and by that time we're already inside the building. Oh well. You can always do a Google image search if you want to see the CCP with its fountain.
