History Power Plant Mall was built in December 2000 on the former site of the 130-megawatt Rockwell Thermal Plant owned by the Lopez-led Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company. The thermal power plant, named after the company's first president James Rockwell, operated between 1950 and December 14, 1973, when it was hit by a fire. In 1994, after protests from Makati residents against its reopening, the plant was decommissioned and subsequently converted by its owners into a modern commercial district. Construction on the shopping mall began in 1998 and was completed and opened on December 26, 2000. Beginning in 2014, Rockwell Land expanded the Power Plant Mall by adding another 5,700 square meters (61,000 sq ft) of additional leasable space, expanding the total retail floor area from 41,000 to 46,700 square meters (441,000 to 503,000 sq ft) with three additional floors, and two VIP cinema theaters. The ground and second levels (R1 & R2) of the expansion opened in December 2017, while Cinemas 7 and 8 at Level R3 opened in January 2018. It is also connected to the luxury condominium development Balmori Suites, replacing the cancelled expansion of Aruga Hotel. Brand expansion Rockwell Land Corporation is currently expanding the Power Plant Mall brand to its developments outside of Metro Manila. It plans to open Power Plant Mall Angeles within the Rockwell at Nepo Center in Angeles City by the fourth quarter of 2027. This will be followed by Power Plant Mall Bacolod within the Rockwell Center Bacolod by 2029. References

Capul Church

Saint Ignatius of Loyola Parish Church, commonly known as Capul Church or Fuerza de Capul, is a Roman Catholic fortress church in the municipality of Capul, Northern Samar, Philippines within the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Catarman. It was first established as a mission station by the Jesuits in 1596 under the advocacy of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The church was declared a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines. History Capul was first established as a mission station by the Jesuits in 1596. The first church made of nipa and hardwood was dedicated to Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Moro attacks from the Pacific Ocean destroyed the church. A new church made of stone, along with a fortress, was built to protect the town from Moro invasion in the 1600s. Father Juan Isandi, last Jesuit priest to Capul, died during the Moro attacks in 1768. After the Jesuits were expelled in the country, the Franciscans later supervised Capul in 1768 with Father Joaquín Martínez as the first Franciscan priest there. The church was again destroyed by the Moro and Father Mariano Valera supervised the reconstruction of the third church and construction of the 11 metres (36 ft) high bell tower in 1781. On November 8, 1864, Capul was elevated as a parish by the Bishop of Cebu. Architecture The church is an example of a Spanish fortress church. It is surrounded by strong stone walls and bastions of dissimilar designs. Father Valero designed the church with a cross-shaped wall made of stone, similar to Intramuros. When Moros attacked the town, the people of Capul would take refuge inside the church. The bell tower is located on the left side of the church. A stone watchtower on a huge rock is located near the church complex. A small chapel, probably a mortuary chapel, can also be found inside the complex. Its facade is simple as it forms a defensive wall. Pilasters and a split pediment around the central door only adorn the facade. A typhoon destroyed the church's neo-gothic altar in 1947 and in 1987, another typhoon caused extensive damage when it ripped off the roof and ceiling. The church was afterwards repaired but is virtually an empty shell. The storm also destroyed the church's convent. Historical and cultural declarations A historical marker was installed on Capul Church on August 5, 2011. It was also declared a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines in 2014. Notes References External links Media related to Capul Church at Wikimedia Commons
