- 49 stories above Makati (Export Bank is on the extreme left while the LKG tower and razor sharp GT Tower occupies the rightmost third of the picture
As you may well know by now, the PBCOM Tower is the tallest building in the Philippines. Standing proud and mighty at 259 meters or almost 850 feet, this building houses several companies (including our own) and boasts 53 stories plus an eight level radio tower on top. As far as windows go, these are the highest windows I’ve ever had the privilege of looking through since I started working. The picture was taken from the 49th floor, roughly 700 feet above sea level. Our call center occupies the 50th floor as well but I seldom go there except for floor walk duties.
So what’s it got to do with this picture?
Nothing much really. This is one of the last pictures taken from my old Samsung SGH-D820 phone (R.I.P.) It was taken around 5:30 pm if I’m not mistaken. There’s nothing outwardly special about this shot (the camera’s a crappy 1.3 megapixels only and the picture is begging for color correction) but something in this shot makes me wax sentimental. Is it the sunset? I’m not sure. One thing’s sure though. I won’t be staring down at the world below from this lofty perch pretty soon.
