CCP Main Building Lights Up for Philippine Independence Day Celebrations
In preparation for the upcoming Philippine Independence Day celebrations, the Cultural Center of the Philippines adorns its Gusaling Tanghalang Pambansa (CCP Main Building) with the vibrant colors of the national flag, creating a striking and patriotic display.
An initiative of the CCP Production and Exhibition Department, spearheaded by its Associate Artistic Director, Ariel Yonzon, the lighting design makes use of traditional ellipsoidal lighting fixtures with gobos featuring islands and geographical landmarks of the Philippines.
Conceptualized by Production Design and Technical Services Division Chief Ricardo “Eric” G. Cruz, the facade light design was executed by a technical team composed of gobo makers Shantie De Roca, Patricia Fuentes, Judemar Guillermo, and Camille Balistoy, with set-up by Lucio Tapiru, Earl Barrera, Russell Caseñas, Christopher Lota, and Samie Estrellon.
Marking the 126th anniversary of the nation’s independence, the CCP Philippine Independence Day facade lighting will run every night, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., until June 16, 2024.
Celebrate this historical milestone with instragrammable photos of the CCP Front Lawn, with the Main Building as your backdrop. Show some love for the country with pride in our national colors. #CCPIndependenceDayLighting #Kalayaan2024
