@Montano, thanks for pointing that out. Actually, the building is at the corner of South Osmena and Champaca Streets. Sorry for the error.

In fairness to Rex Acdal he’s one of the most creative mind i’ve known. I’ve known him long ago before i left for New York during our time in Cagayan de Oro City.

His influences are out of this world and tend to sway against the natural course of things and that separates him from the rest.

Congratulations to Manny and Jinky on their new building..

In my opinion as an architect, the building is hideous. It’s not manny’s fault. It doesn’t reflect anything about the culture of the place, or even the owner. I wished manny should have at least asked for a design competition and picked the best design. I really couldn’t get myself to appreciate it even if the color gets changed a hundred times. And forget starbucks, they always pick their classy place, and I’m sure they won’t tarnish their image by attaching their logo on this structure. I’m sorry for being direct, but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who feels this way.

@bernie Allen - Of course their new house is way way better than the old one.pero masikip ang hagdan paakyat sa kwarto ni ser orms.I pitty the pacquiaos bcoz they were like hit by a tsunami with that building.what a waste of money.they should've hired more experienced and mas kilala na architect from manila.my god,that building is a scrap!kung madalas kang pumunta sa mga magagandang building sa manila o davao maliit man o malaki alam mo na ang building ni pacquiao is class D.be honest and dont fool yourself,people!sabihn nyo kung ano ang nakikita nyo!

nindot man ang design kay modern man sya nga style. mao na man na karon ang mga style sa building. kanang uban diha igo ra mangnaway sa design kung sila bitaw pabuhaton murag kaya pod nila. kung ako pd sa lugar ni architect mucomment pod ko oi. giskwelahan gud nako akong propesyon daun naa na koy pangalan unya mangnaway mo nga wala moy ginabasehan mura pod moy naay alam sa architecture. dili man gani mo maka-appreciate sa design. sa makatuod wala jud moy alam. kay por que blog ni free na mo magcomment og mga rubbish.. pakig atubang mo kay architect unya didto na ihapak sa iyang nawong inyong mga comment tingala man kog kaya ninyo na masulti. hangtod ra mog comment daghan ra mog reklamo. pasosyal effect…

pahabol na comment,just my own opinion so either the architect can take notice or ignore them I’ll try to give 2 sides para also fair

Pros:
- nice color palette but typical of jollibee like bldgs.
- high ceiling and lots of spaces
- seems built with durable materials
- nice touch with focal point (sashimi holder) so its unique
and recognizable

Cons:
- green color was off the color scheme (the hue not even match)
- no unifying structural shape and design. Lines and shape was all
over the place its better than a squared boxed bldg but it could
have been better if the shapes have a unifying theme like a box
with an arch or box with a cylindrical accent
- for its look. P20M might be too much..

I’ve travelled all over so I do have a appreciation of what looks good or not. I dont think you have to study architecture to get a feel of the current styles and designs. thats just a lame excuse and if get to hear from people about my design I’ll probably just go back to my drawing board and see how I can tweak the design. maybe a simple color change will do.

Dubai bldgs now ranks as the trendiest spot for architecture. So maybe somehow we can copy those great works or art.. we filipinos are the best copycats anyway.

Hello guys,its only now that i was able 2 read some of ur comments regarding d new pacquiao bldg.ur comments amused me(sori,i wasnt able 2 read d others).i hope d author cud update u w/ d latest picture wherein ur concern about d parking will b answered(we have parking slots n front of d bldg). I cant put here n detail d rationale behind d design,it wil take me until morning 2 do so.but i promise,every detail has meaning & purpose.every mass,every plain & curve has intentions.d “sashimi plate” was inspired by d hull of fishing boats.those “trellised” balconies & sunshades were designed to minimise d effect of d radiant heat.the color scheme?…well,green goes well w/ earth tones…and is d favorite color of my client.how wud u feel i u see a mountain,all clay w/o a tree?…dry,monotonous,lifeless.we filipinos love color,we are hapi pipol. Watch out guys,BLUGRE CAFE is coming to town…syempre sa bldg ni pacman. Architecture is the mother of ol arts `coz its 3 dimensional & u can feel d space.it is also more art than science.for me,that bldg of pacman is ARThitecture.i hope some of u cud get inside it and feel the space. Some may not like it(they are entitled to their opinion & i respect it),but im proud to have created it…IM PROUD TO HAVE CREATED SOMETHING NEW,SOMETHING DIFFERENT!….why follow when u can be a step ahead?..GUDNYT GUYS!THANKS!

ano daw un..

people didn’t know what is art..

that’s the architects own idea about the building..

kakaiba nga xa ei

hnd common ung design..

alangan nmn mang gaya xa ng ibang design..

it shows that gensan is not yet a highly urbanized city..

bcuz it reflects on how people reacts to the design.. (“manol”)

hope that pacquiao will invest more in his own city..

we should be thankful n naga invest xa d2 s gensan…
