First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos criticized the P200 million Philippine Film Heritage Building, calling it a "rotten monument of incompetence" due to substandard construction.
During an inspection, she found issues such as leaking roofs, cracked walls, unfinished theaters, and water-damaged ceilings.
Araneta-Marcos stated that the country's artists deserve better and are being denied dignity by this poorly constructed building.
The contractor for Phase 1 of the project is Great Pacific Builders and General Contractor Inc., which is reportedly owned by Sarah Discaya and her family.
Phase 1 was scheduled for completion in 2024, with a second phase slated for September 2025, but construction appeared to still be ongoing.
