As a National Cultural Treasure featuring works of four National Artists (Locsin, Joya, Luz, Abueva) and other masterpieces, the PICC is an icon of Filipino creativity. It is also a great example of how Filipinos can preserve monumental and culturally/scientifically significant artifacts.

It is one of my favorite venues, mainly in terms of aesthetic value and its cleanliness. I love how the place is well maintained and taken care of. It is stunning I was in awe of the light installation at the main lobby and the amazing exhibit of different pieces such as sculptures and paintings all over the place. It is also the first time I was sitting on a national cultural treasure (Abueva's furniture), which I believe, not many guests are aware of. The architectural details are also iconic for me. A great plus will be how clean the comfort rooms, the various corners of the place are.

A downside though, is that you can never fully appreciate it when you are there for events, such as conferences and oath taking ceremonies. It is difficult to marvel at it when your mind is on something else. Furthermore, the staff are also somewhat strict, which is necessary to manage the time schedule, but it also prevents one from wandering and discovering the place. Another thing, the cafeteria, has a few selection of food per certain time (though they also change dishes through the day, you only have 4-5 choices when you are about to eat).

PICC was sort of an inspiring journey.

– Chippy

PICC was built a long time ago but the structure was preserved and still standing. I enjoyed walking through the floors and walls of a vast center. Very historical.

A prestigious venue for conferences, events, and concerts with a timeless architectural design.

✅ What I loved:

Spacious and well-maintained facilities – The halls are grand, clean, and suitable for large gatherings.

Classic architecture – The design by Leandro Locsin gives it a unique, elegant feel.

Good acoustics and lighting – Ideal for conventions, graduations, and performances.

Great location – Situated in the CCP Complex, it's accessible and has a scenic bay area view.
