Manila Planetarium

Post by chrisyeo »

When I was in the Philippines recently, I got to visit their 20+ year old planetarium. It was cool although it was old and the projector seemed to have a blown bulb. The school children whom I attended with were absolutely AMAZED by the stars, pictures and constellation drawings. They were screaming WOW! OOh! Beautiful! throughout the whole show. In Singapore I think our kids would have been quite blaise about it..

There seems to be another planeterium being built in a new mall, SM Mall of Asia. Was not completed when I left. I also heard that there is an observatory open to the public on the campus of the University of the Philippines.

Has anyone been recently or is going to the Philippines? :)
