1

Meralco Theater is a theater located at the compound of Meralco, Ortigas Avenue in Pasig, Philippines. It used to be known as the Meralco Auditorium. It seats over 1,500 people and is a popular venue for various concerts, plays, musicals and events.

History

The Meralco Theater was inaugurated on March 22, 1969. It was designed by Filipino architect José María Zaragoza and forms part of the larger Meralco Building, which was completed a little earlier. The 14-story building, theater and adjoining buildings form a landmark in the Ortigas Center CBD. The theater was where the staged graduation ceremony of politician Imee Marcos took place, according to University of the Philippines Cebu history professor Madrileña de la Cerna. Meralco Theater had completed its interior renovation. Rumors and heavy speculations from news sources said that the Philippines longest running noontime variety show, Eat Bulaga! will move to the theater soon.
