Tower of Power, Broadcasting tower in Tandang Sora, Quezon City, Philippines
Tower of Power is a lattice steel broadcasting tower in Tandang Sora, Quezon City, Philippines, used to transmit television and radio signals across the metropolitan area. The structure carries antenna arrays mounted at its upper sections to maximize signal reach.
The facility was built in the late 1980s and activated in 1988 to serve the broadcasting network. It has remained in continuous operation since then as an active transmission site.
The tower is operated by GMA Network and serves as the main point from which the channel reaches viewers across Metro Manila and nearby provinces. Anyone watching GMA television in the region is receiving a signal sent from this site.
The tower is an active broadcasting facility with restricted access and is not open to visitors. The structure can be seen from public streets nearby without entering the property.
The facility was equipped early on with satellite downlink technology, allowing it to receive international signals directly from orbit. This meant the network could take in foreign programming and send it to viewers without relying on any intermediate link.
