That sports complex above is the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, formerly the Manila Carnival Grounds, built in 1934 for the Far Eastern Championship Games which was the precursor to the Asian Games. It was destroyed in World War II and reconstructed in 1953 for use in the 1954 Asian Games. Since then it has played host to three Southeast Asian Games. The complex has actually two basketball stadiums, a swimming pool, a baseball stadium, tennis courts, a bowling hall, a gymnastic hall, and a boxing gym. The Rizal Memorial Sports Complex is also home for the Philippine Sports Commission. This picture, taken by my iPhone from the top floor of Century Hotel, is actually a composite of 4 images that was stitched using an amazing app called Autostitch.  Click here if you want to see a high-res version.
