    E-mail and texting has overtaken snail mail as the main form of correspondence between people. That…read moredoesn't mean that people no longer write to each other using letters. This building is the central building for the country's mail sorting and distribution process. I pass by this mammoth of a structure each time I go to school or head home. It's a wonderful thing to behold. Few government buildings are as imposing and big as the Manila Central Post Office. Indeed, when I look at this structure I often wonder to myself why the country isn't littered with more structures like it. It's neoclassical structure is like a breath of fresh air compared to most of the box like buildings that I see populating Manila's streets. I love this building because it reminds me that there are hidden architectural gems in Manila that will stand out and make me look twice each time I cross the street or look around the corner.

    The Manila Central Post Office never fails to move me and make me sad at the same time. It is…read moreeasily the most iconic and impressive building in Manila, and it is almost palatial. Seriously, looking at the Post Office loom over you as you cross the river is an arresting and breathtaking sight. However, all that majesty cannot hide the fact that the Post Office is in decay and needs all the help it can get. I'm hoping some group comes in and restores it for future use, because Philpost simply cannot take care of this magnificent structure anymore. There were talks that the Post Office was going to be converted into a hotel, although it appears talks have fallen through. I don't mind this turning into a heritage museum or something. Anything, really. Just save this gorgeous building, please!
