@miketanongako: Did you know that what used to be an industrial power plant is now one of the country’s most recognizable mixed-use developments? Rockwell Powerplant is proof that sometimes the best urban transformations don’t erase history, they build on it. What other places in the Philippines have an interesting backstory that most people don’t know about? Sources: * Rockwell Land – Our Story / History * First Philippine Holdings – Company History * MERALCO – Company History * Lopez Holdings Corporation – Company History * National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) * Tatler Philippines – The History of Rockwell Center #philippinehistory #DidYouKnow #funfacts #themoreyouknow #LearnItOnTikTok

Extra fun fact: The Lopez family still owns a small part of MERALCO, but they no longer control the company. Today, it’s led by the Metro Pacific/First Pacific group headed by Manny V. Pangilinan

Back then, Lopez Holdings bought Meralco, then converted the land into a mixed use area. Fast forward, huge chunk of ABSCBN’s land property in QC was sold to the Ayalas.
