Instead of rebuilding it to continue to be the country’s post office, they agreed to restore it as a “mixed-use facility” and preserve it as part of the City of Manila’s heritage corridor, Frasco said. Legarda said she has yet to convene as designated chairperson the special Senate committee tasked to look after restoration and rehabilitation of the iconic landmark.
