In addition to its role as a venue for Cinemalaya and other events, the Cultural Center of the Philippines also serves as an excellent location for jogging.

Quite the building! On the second floor was a showing of several artists. A few that will stick with you for the rest of your life. For instance one artist forgive me I don't know their name but forever I will think about the heart display. Made from the burnt wood of the Australian fire is a matrix of wooden hearts. This is a reference to our own death, from the Egyptian book of the dead. The docent explained to me that at death each heart is weighted and to pass to the next life a heart weight exactly the same as a feather. Each soul's heart must be not be too heavy or too light. It made me think for sure. It was quite moving. Another artist provided a glimpse of death as well with a living piece of the earth. The piece of earth that sits above your coffin, I happened to be there when she was bringing in fresh plants to plant. Like someone tending the grave of a love one after they were gone. Overall many treats to see in the place. I would love to see the theater when it is open. I hope they begin having plays there soon. And get more artists to display there works there. Very enjoyable.
