The more they stay the same...
This building in Manila once housed the national waterworks and sewage authority and is now a hall of justice.
Manila, 2011
Unfortunately, I can tell you nothing more about the building.
Yeah, I know, a very lame post. But sometimes I just want to express my exasperation with the never-improving status quo.

The color does qualify it to be linked with Mellow Yellow Monday.

Maybe just the fact that the building is being used, at least its history is being preserved! It has a nice facade!
it's like justice going down the drain.:p

Nice shot!

@Luna... My brain was caught in the parallel between sewage (what's IN those pipes) and justice... Recent cases in our newspaper headlines have me choked. :-(
There has to be a story behind this. The building is pretty cool looking, actually.
i haven't visited this place, happy mym have time to visit my entry :)
@tapirgal... unfortunately the story is that justice is joke here... I'm responding to a few recent high profile cases that are particularly outrageous... but it's nothing new and in total there are too many stories to tell on a photo blog.
Re my post, "The Bedroom" is a bar, which according to "reliable" sources, has no tables and chairs but beds for patrons to lounge in.:p
[i get heartburn or indigestion when i read or watch the news.]
From a sewage authority to a hall of justice. At least the lawyers are still there. Nice photo Francisca. Keep on clicking.
Quite frustrating. That also explains most of us find work in other countries.
Nice shot, btw!
i dont (er, seldom) get to watch our local news, because when i do, i would want to die in shame!!!
how ironic! converting sewage into justice bldg! thought it was the other way around!!!
And where does justice go? Down the drain I think hehehe. Happy Monday!

Seeing the photo and reading this post, I felt your exasperation, Fransisca! :-D
So, there is more than a location to link sewage and justice in Manila? That's a shame, Francisca, but all too true in many places.
I like the fact that the original use of the building is forever carved into the facade at the top.

Well, I like the façade and its Deco look.

Have a happy MYM****
It is an interesting looking building, so whatever it takes...
I like the connection between sewage and lawyers though...
Sewage and justice - sometimes they seem to go hand-in-hand.
Is this just a nice way of saying it's the same old crap year after year!
