CCP Main Building Lights Up For Philippine Independence Day

 

To herald the upcoming Philippine Independence Day celebrations, the Cultural Center of the Philippines lights up its Gusaling Tanghalang Pambansa (CCP Main Building) with the colors of the national flag. 

An undertaking of the CCP Production and Exhibition Department, led by its Associate Artistic Director, Ariel Yonzon, the light design utilizes conventional ellipsoidal lighting fixtures with gobos patterned after islands and geographical features of the Philippines. 

Conceptualized by Production Design and Technical Services Division Chief Ricardo “Eric” G. Cruz, the facade light design was executed by a technical team composed of gobo makers Shantie De Roca, Patricia Fuentes, Judemar Guillermo, and Camille Balistoy, with set-up by Lucio Tapiru, Earl Barrera, Russell Caseñas, Christopher Lota, and Samie Estrellon. 

Marking the 126th anniversary of the nation’s independence, the CCP Philippine Independence Day facade lighting will run every night, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., until June 16, 2024. 

Celebrate this historical milestone with instragrammable photos of the CCP Front Lawn, with the Main Building as your backdrop. Show some love for the country with pride in our national colors.
