Batasang Pambansa Complex, Legislative complex in Batasan Hills, Philippines
Batasang Pambansa Complex is a legislative building in Batasan Hills, Philippines, defined by heavy concrete walls and a steeply angled roof. The roof slope recalls traditional wooden houses found across the region.
Construction finished in 1978, replacing an older capitol project from 1949 that never reached completion due to lack of funds. Three architects worked on the design across decades: Federico Ilustre, Anselmo Alquinto, and Felipe Mendoza.
The complex takes its name from the national legislature it housed starting in the 1980s. Visitors today can walk through public corridors and see chambers where lawmakers still debate bills.
The main plenary hall sits inside the central building and hosts legislative sessions and major national events. Visitors planning a trip should check in advance whether public tours or sessions are scheduled.
A library inside the complex displays objects from Philippine legislative history. Near the entrance stand wooden sculptures by artist Jose M Mendoza.
