This list of tallest buildings in the Philippines ranks skyscrapers in the Philippines by height. The tallest building in the Philippines is the 52-storey PBCom Tower in Makati City, which rises 259 m (849.7 ft).[1] The metropolitan area with the most number of skyscrapers in the Philippines is clearly Metro Manila, followed by Metro Cebu. The skyscrapers of Metro Manila are, for the most part, clustered in many locations although three areas are distinct for having the largest clusters in the metropolis. The first and biggest is the Makati Business District, followed by the Ortigas Center Business District in Pasig. The newest to rise is the one of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
Cities where many skyscrapers also can seen are Mandaluyong, Quezon City, Manila and Cebu City. The tallest building outside Metro Manila is the 140-meter Crown Regency Hotel in Cebu City. The history of highrise buildings in the Philippines probably began with the construction of the six-storey Manila Hotel in 1912, which is regarded to be the first true modern high-rise building in the country. The constructions of high-rise buildings also shifted from Manila to its surrounding area, including the transformation of Makati into the country's undisputed financial and business center in the 1950s.
Although there were numerous high-rise buildings standing in Metro Manila, the first skyscraper (150 meters and above) to rise in the Philippines was during the completion of the 44-storey Pacific Plaza Condominium in 1992, which has a 150-meter architectural top height. In January 2011, The Gramercy Residences topped out, reaching the 73rd floor. Upon its completion in 2012, it will become the Philippines' first supertall and highest building, surpassing the current title holder, PBCom Tower. It was announced to have 73 floors above ground with a total height of 302 meters (990.8 feet) from ground to its architectural top.
