Answer 1

The Manila City Hall resembles a cross when viewed from above.

Step-by-step explanation:

When viewed from above, the Manila City Hall resembles a cross. The cross-shaped design of the building is a result of the architectural style influenced by Daniel Burnham's original plan for a national government center.

Although the dream of a fully implemented government center was not realized, some buildings, including the old legislative building, and the agriculture, and finance buildings, were constructed. The clock tower, considered to be the biggest in the country, further emphasizes the cross shape of the Manila City Hall when viewed from above.
