San Miguel Corporation Head Office Complex in Mandaluyong

The corporate headquarters of the San Miguel Corporation—designed by the Mañosa brothers—is an early example of “green” architecture. The climate-responsive building was inspired by the Banaue rice terraces.

Known advocates of true Filipino architecture, the renowned Mañosa brothers designed this iconic, low-rise building of one of the largest corporations in the country, San Miguel Corporation, with the renowned Banaue Rice Terraces as their main inspiration. It is said to be one of the first early examples of green architecture in the country, and was landscaped in 2006 by no less than the father of Philippine architecture, Ildefonso Santos.
