theurbanhistorian: GSIS Arroceros, and so I got news that you will be destroyed by SM soon (if news are indeed accurate). Good Luck to you and I think it is now the perfect time to award your creator, Federico Ilustre, the National Artist Award (posthumously). Built in 1952, the building is one of the newer Civic Buildings built by the newly independent republic for the already diversifying State Bureaucracy. The building symbolizes the start of the shift of Civic Architecture (Philippine Architecture generally) from its neoclassical/colonial trappings to the development of a separate Philippine Modern Architecture.
