QUIRINO GRANDSTAND
The grandstand was later demolished and a new one was built further away from
the old site towards near the breakwater and the Manila Bay where it stands to
this day. Designed by Federico Ilustre, supervising architect for the Bureau of
Public Works, the new Independence Grandstands design was patterned after the
Arellano-designed grandstand, (including the triumphal arch) with a simpler
design (without the ship bow stage and the statues) and some Art Deco influence
in the canopy compared to the original. The structure was completed in 1949, in
time for the inauguration of President Elpidio Quirino. Years later after his death,
the grandstand was renamed in his honor.[2]

PICC
Presidential Decree No. 520 authorized the Central Bank of the Philippines
(now Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) to construct an international conference
building, acquire a suitable area for that purpose, and organize a corporation
to manage a conference center. Thus, the PICC was organized under the
Corporation Code.
The PICC is dedicated to the task of bringing peoples and nations together and
providing a place where they can meet and exchange ideas that may perhaps
open doors to better world understanding and peace.
Conference
The CCP provides performance and exhibition venues for various local
and international productions at its eponymous 62-hectare (150-acre)
complex located in the Cities of Pasay and Manila. Its artistic
programs include the production of performances, festivals,
exhibitions, cultural research, outreach, preservation, and publication
of materials on Philippine art and culture. It holds its headquarters at
the Tanghalang Pambansa (English: National Theatre), a structure
designed by National Artist for Architecture, Leandro V. Locsin. Locsin
would later design many of the other buildings in the CCP Complex.[4]
