Lingayen, Capitol
Lingayen Capitol by day, the trees that lead you to this august structure is a refreshing site
The Lingayen Provincial Capitol which was built in 1918, reconstructed in 1949 (during the time of Gov. Enrique Braganza) because it was damaged in WWII and rehabilitated last 2008 (Gov. Espino’s term). It is placed at the center of a sprawling Complex near the Lingayen beach, I was actually surprised that this capital of Pangasinan has this- so spectacular and grandiose.
Out of the 8 Philippine architectural treasures, I learned that it is the only one that can be found outside of Manila. The other 7 includes El Hogar Bldg., The Hongkong Shanghai Bank Bldg., Uychaco building, Luneta Hotel, Metropolitan Theater, Regina Building, and the University of Manila which are all located in the capital city.
