MANILA - It's all systems go for Monday's inauguration of the Philippine Arena in Bocaue town, Bulacan province, "the world's largest domed indoor arena," which will be the main site of the centennial celebration of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) on July 27 where more than 1 million of its members are expected to congregate.Located in a 50-hectare complex called Ciudad de Victoria or City of Victory, which is part of the INC's centennial project, it has a bowl-shaped structure inspired by the narra, the Philippine national tree, according to the world-acclaimed architectural firm Populous, its concept designer. The firm also designed the huge 23,000-seat O2 Arena in London, as well as various huge sports arenas and stadiums in the world.The Philippine Arena is more than twice the size of The O2 in London and even of the large indoor arenas in the United States, which was why it was a big challenge to design and build. The Philippine Arena "pushed the boundaries of arena design" and is now considered the world's largest indoor arena, Populous said in its website.During its groundbreaking in August 2011, INC executive minister Eduardo V. Manalo said the arena and other massive architectural marvels to be built in the City of Victory had been designed to bring glory to God and honour to the country.
