Clock towers in the Philippines are clock towers that can be found in the Philippines. The purposes of these Philippine "towering timepieces" are to tell the time and to serve as landmarks. ==Manila City Hall clock tower== The clock tower of the Manila City Hall is an iconic trademark of Manila and of its city hall. The clock tower was unveiled in 1930.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-507093 )〕 Being the largest clock tower in the Philippines, the hexagonal shaped tower has one red-faced clock placed on its three facets. In the evenings, the clock tower of the City Hall of Manila is kept illuminated by light. The bell of the clock tower is rung three times before being followed by a melody.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://arkitektura.ph/buildings/manila-city-hall#.UpQL18ROStt )〕 The bells that are located within the tower makes a sound to mark the break time of Manila City Hall employees. The bells ring again at the closing of business day. During the Christmas season in the Philippines, the clock tower is programmed to play Christmas carols that can be heard outside the confines of the building of Manila City Hall.〔 Although monitored regularly for synchronization, there were times that the three clocks of the Manila City Hall clock tower would each show different times.
