I recently chanced upon this location near Star City in downtown Manila; the Manila Film Center. It is slightly north of the SM Mall of Asia and toward the Senate building. "The building has also been the subject of controversies due to an accident that happened during the final stages of its construction in 1981." According to Wikipedia and a reliable source here in Manila, "All of the women performing in the production of the amazing show are transgendered." They host a cultural presentation that is geared toward the whole family. The entertainment show is an ongoing event and is presented at 8 p.m six nights a week under the heading, Amazing Show, and claims to be "The Philippines' Premiere Theatrical Family Show."
