Together with the rest of the Philippines, Makati lies entirely within the
tropics. Its proximity to the equator means that the temperature range is
very small, rarely going lower than 20 °C (68 °F) or going higher than 38
°C (100 °F). However, humidity levels are usually very high which makes
it feel much warmer. It has a distinct, albeit relatively short dry season
from January through May, and a relatively lengthy wet season from
June through December.

Historical sites

Magallanes Interchange
The Magallanes Interchange, which was conceived in 1969 and opened
in 1975, was one of the first structures of its kind in the country.

Hagdang Bato
This part of Namayan was sacred to early Tagalogs. Hagdang bató is
mentioned in chapter sixty-one of José Rizal’s first novel, Noli Me
Tángere, and chapter three of his second novel, El Filibusterismo.
During the Revolution on 10 June 1897, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo and
about five hundred soldiers crossed the Pasig River at Hagdang bató
during the march to Biac-na-bató in Bulacán.

Museo ng Makati
Located along J.P. Rizal St., the Museo ng Makati is housed in an old
building, which was built in 1918 and has been used as Makati’s town
hall from 1918 to 1961. The museum keeps the records of Makati’s
history through a collection of rare photographs, murals, and dioramas. It
also contains artifacts, such as the fossils of prehistoric animals and
earthenware.

The museum’s architecture is a classic “Bahay na Bato”, made of
masonry at the ground floor and wood at the upper level. In 1934, during
the reign of Mayor Nicanor Garcia, the structure was rebuilt using
concrete materials. In 1958, while it was still used as a town hall, then
Mayor Maximo Estrella had it renovated. In 1961, when the local
government of Makati moved its office to its current site, the old town hall
was used as the Municipal Library.

But when the library was transferred to the new city hall compound, the
old town hall was used as the Philippine Eye and Ear Infirmary. During
the term of Mayor Jejomar Binay, the structure was converted into a

GO TO T​ ABLE OF CONTENTS | 84

museum through City Ordinance No. 186 that was enacted in March
1990.

Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church
The Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church is a baroque Roman Catholic
church which was established in 1601 by Augustinian fathers. Its original
architecture is a blend of the late Spanish Renaissance and early
Baroque design. The touch of the Renaissance period is found in the
main entrance with rose window and simple Doric columns. The interiors
and the window details, meanwhile, have influences of Baroque
architecture. The floor plan, on the other hand, is Romanesque. During
the Seven Years’ War, this church was raided by the British, an event
which marks the first time that Makati was affected by a global conflict.
The church was damaged due to an earthquake in 1880 and in 1898
during the early skirmishes between American and Filipino troops.

The Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church is one of the most popular
wedding venues in Metro Manila.

Saints Peter and Paul Church
Tucked in D.M. Rivera St. and surrounded by skyscrapers and
residential areas, Sts. Peter and Paul Church is the oldest church in
Makati, which was opened to the faithful in 1620. It was built by Jesuit
priest Rev. Pedro de los Montes at a site named Buenavista through the
generous donation of Capt. Pedro de Britto in 1607.

The church’s architectural design is a rectangular nave with apse and
sacristy, which is a usual design for colonial mission churches. The
façade is composed of three-tiered papal and keys, symbols of the
Papacy, which was first occupied by St. Peter, one of the patron saints
of the parish.

Culture and sports
Makati is home to a number of fine art museums, colonial-era churches
and recreation areas. Along the south-eastern border of Makati beyond
Forbes Park are the Manila Golf Club and the Manila Polo Club. The

GO TO T​ ABLE OF CONTENTS | 85

Manila Golf Club features an 18-hole golf course. The Manila Polo Club
counts among its polo enthusiasts some of the country’s wealthiest
people. The Makati Sports Club in Salcedo Village is another popular
place for sports. The Makati Coliseum is another famous sports
landmark in the city, where some of the biggest sports gatherings are
held.

Makati has several Spanish-era churches, such as the Our Lady of
Guadalupe and the Nuestra Señora de Gracia Church (Our Lady of
Grace) in the old town. At the Greenbelt Park stands the modern domed
chapel of the Sto. Niño de la Paz. Between Forbes Park and
Dasmariñas Village is the Santuario de San Antonio, a popular church
for weddings in the Makati area. The National Shrine of the Sacred Heart
is located in San Antonio Village. Makati also houses the country’s only
Jewish synagogue, Beth Yaacov.

The Ayala Museum
The Ayala Museum is a private fine arts and history museum housing
various exhibitions such as the “Gold of Ancestors,” an exhibition of
more than one thousand golden pre-Hispanic artifacts. Other popular
museums also in Makati also include the Yuchengco Museum and the
Museo ng Makati.
