“That’s correct. It’s not like the government is saving because it will be a tourist attraction for foreigners,” Moreno declared, during his inspection of the clock tower Wednesday. He was accompanied by Manila City Engineer Armand Andres as well as other city hall officials and employees. Moreno said even judges, fiscals, lawyers, and city hall officials and employees can also drop by the place during break time or if they are not busy with their work.
“The history of Manila should be here. The Battle of Manila, the era of the Muslims, Spaniards, Americans, Japanese, we will put there here. So when people go, they take a walk on the view deck, because it’s sightseeing,” Moreno said. An iconic trademark of Manila and of its city hall, the clock tower was designed by Antonio Toledo and was unveiled in the 1930s. Being the largest clock tower in the Philippines, the hexagonal-shaped tower has one red-faced clock placed on its three facets.
