When we were looking for a school as a venue for our shoot, my instructions to the production designer was to look for one that felt like it was a school abroad. But of course, it had to be very near for logistical ease.
In my mind, schools like Cambridge and Oxford were my peg. Schools that look old and storied, but with a lot of character.
Surprisingly, there was one within Metro Manila. That's where we shot today, and while it wasn't exactly Cambridge or Oxford, it came pretty close.
The school was called Enderun, and it's this chi-chi culinary school in Taguig.
Except for the modern buildings around it, the campus itself looked very "old school." (I couldn't resist the reference.)
The buildings were obviously patterned after old Ivy League schools, but they're way, way smaller than the real ones.
Apparently, this school is also open as a venue for parties, and it has a full functioning restaurant with very affordable offerings. They're good enough reasons to visit it again soon.
