In the Philippines, the tallest is the PBCom Tower located in Makati City standing 848 feet, it is ranked 117th in the world. It has 55 floors used for commercial offices. Naturally, the first 10 floors are occupied by PBCom or the Philippine Bank of Communications.
Still on IFC Tower and HK, I took this stunning night view video of the Victoria Harbour and HK Islands skyscrapers while sat on a bench along the Avenue of Stars just watching ferries crossing the harbour and some lights flicker from the buildings. I could really stay here for hours...
