00:00Hello, I'm Brian Benitez-McClellan and I'm at the Miranilla Heritage House.
00:13One of the most interesting stories and the namesake of how Miranilla got its name was
00:19from a story back when the Ateneo de Manila actually burnt down and my great aunt, Helena
00:29Benitez, apparently when she was a child, was up in the tower and was calling out to
00:35the family, Mira a Manila, Mira a Manila, because she saw the smoke of Manila.
00:43And being one of the highest locations in this area around Green Hills, you can see
00:51down to Manila, so the name Mira a Manila or Miranilla is what stuck from that story.
00:59So that's how the house has become known as the Miranilla House.
01:04So dito sa Miranilla, one of the first things you see when you enter the property is yung
01:10bahay and in here we have a collection of many artworks and paintings and sculptures
01:18from various national artists and other Filipino artists and international collections.
01:25Also the library houses many thousands of books and original furniture and different
01:33artifacts from the family's collections over the years.
01:43Within the compound, the greenery, the trees, they serve as a natural way to keep the air
01:50cooler and cleaner and maganda rin to see the flowers and native species that we have
01:59in the garden.
