I have been in Bonifacio Global City for almost half a year now (as of writing) and only a few things I have known and seen around the place. I started questioning myself why I have deprived myself from getting to know the place better. Many people has high regard of the place and look up to it, while me, who’s already there, is just taking the opportunity given to me for granted.
I have been to several places and have been appreciating their arts and crafts; while there are arts right in my place, I don’t give appreciation that is due for them. Maybe we are always too busy with our daily lives making a living that we have forgotten to stop for a while, breathe, and appreciate the beauty of life. I know for a fact that the murals in BGC will soon be gone or be covered by other buildings, I must be able to see and appreciate them before they are gone for good in the sight of humanity.
I have created a map to easier locate and find the beautiful and artistic murals and sculptures around BGC. I challenge you to see all these arts if you still can.
