On top of the iconic gate of Fort Santiago is a wooden relief of Santiago Matamoros, for which the fort is named after. An ironic name, truth be told.

With the heritage structures of Intramuros and the Commonwealth buildings as our backdrop, we will paint a picture of the Manila of the past and its relevance to the future.
