๐ญโจ TRIVIA #2 | DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that the Manila Metropolitan Theater (MET), also known as the โGrand Dame of Philippine Theater,โ was designed by Filipino architect Juan M. Arellano and completed in 1931? ๐๏ธ๐ต๐ญ
Inspired by a blooming bamboo tree, the MET beautifully combines Art Deco design with Filipino cultural motifs. Despite surviving World War II and decades of neglect, it was restored and reopened in 2021.
This Philippine Creative Industries Month, letโs celebrate the MET as a symbol of Filipino creativity, culture, and resilience! ๐ต๐ญโจ
We are a creative nation.
