Philippine International Center
The Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) is a convention center the in the Philippines. Located at the reclaimed area now known as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Complex in Pasay City, this state-of-the-art facility has been the host of numerous local and foreign conventions, meetings, fairs, and social events.
On the presence of the PICC, Manila has always been tagged as a "Convention City".
The construction of the state-of-the-art PICC Complex was undertaken in a short span of 23 months, from November 1974 to September 1976, with Leandro Locsin as architect, who was subsequently named a National Artist.
On September 5, 1976, the PICC, Asia's first international convention center was officially opened to the world when it hosted the 1976 IMF-World Bank Meeting. The PICC is dedicated to the task of bringing peoples and nations together and providing a place where they can meet and exchange ideas that may perhaps open doors to better world understanding and peace.
As a venue of meetings, conferences, exhibitions, and special events, it caters to organizers of international, regional Asia Pacific, and local events by providing highly advanced conferencing equipment and facilities and, most importantly, friendly, efficient, and professional service.

Pasay is not suburb. Its an urban center of Metro Manila. Does that make Makati a suburb than Tondo?
