After the Climate Action Forum, I have to go home, but suddenly, it rained very hard. So, from Commonwealth Avenue, I decided to find a vehicle going to MRT, where GMA Headquarters is located. So, I was able to go there again after six years, and despite the heavy rain, I was able to retake pictures of its iconic building.
GMA NETWORK CENTER
One of the famous landmarks in the "City of Stars" is the GMA Network Center, the main headquarters of the Kapuso network.
The structure was started to build in 1996 as part of upgrading the network's old facilities and finished in 2000 as the station was celebrating its 50th year in the broadcast industry. Notable events happened on that building, such as the rebranding of the then "Rainbow Satellite Network" to today's "Kapuso Network" (Kapuso Mo, Anumang Kulay ng Buhay) at the top of GMA Network Center. Aside from that, a monument was installed on the facade of the structure, and it was sculpted by Eduardo Castrillo in the same year (2000) depicting the network's leadership in television and radio broadcast industry.

Those two (not purchased at the same time) filter pretty much everything except the monitors. Notice how the left one has coffee stains on the left side. Hell, as far as I can tell the right-side UPS is the only thing in the whole server closet that does NOT have coffee stains on it.

PERTIS (Permit to Travel Issuing System), was first introduced by Network SouthEast in November 1988 on the LTS route between London Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness. The machines, which closely resemble those found in pay and display car parks, were manufactured by Almex Information Systems. Machines were given the designation AS-9 (wall-mounted) or AS-88 (mounted on a metal base), but internal workings and tickets were identical in each case.
Penalty Fares schemes spread across Network SouthEast in subsequent years, with AS-88 machines being used exclusively; railway stations in the West Midlands and West Yorkshire PTE areas subsequently had schemes put in place, and machines were installed accordingly.
The front panel of the machine has two LCD displays; one shows the current time, while the other displays the amount paid when coins have been fed in. A button is pressed to print the permit, which shows a serial number, the station name, the date and time. The passenger is supposed to insert coins as near to the value of the fare as possible (if they know the fare and have enough coins), and some machines have a list of common local single and return fares.
Permits to travel bear the warning that they are not fare tickets and must be exchanged for one at the first opportunity. The record of the station of issue means that passengers who travel using it cannot claim that they just boarded the train (allowing them to travel on a cheaper fare) if they are not reached by a ticket inspector until a few stops after boarding. Permits to travel are in any case valid for only two hours from the time shown on them.
If holders of a permit to travel are asked to present their ticket by an inspector, they will be asked where they are travelling to and issued with the appropriate ticket and will be charged the difference between the balance already paid, as stated on the permit and the full cost of the ticket for their journey. If they have already paid the full price of the ticket, it will be exchanged for the permit and no money will change hands.
Because any amount of money on a valid permit to travel will ensure that a passenger cannot be charged a penalty fare, it is entirely possible (if the passenger is not encountered by an inspector, who will sell a full ticket) to make a two hour train journey for as little five pence (the lowest denomination coin the machine will accept) without breaching any fare regulations.
When a station is manned and its ticket office open, the machine will usually be deactivated, with a light illuminated to indicate that proper tickets should be purchased.
Within Train Operating Companies, a distinction is made between ticket inspectors and "Revenue Protection Inspectors" or "Authorised Penalty Fare Officers". Only the latter have the authority to issue penalty fares where a ticket or permit is not held. Many Train Operating Companies (TOCs) such as Southern have altered their penalty fare policies and have removed many permit to travel machines; while others, such as Southeastern and Chiltern Railways, have installed more machines recently.
PERTIS machines at larger stations have also in recent years given way to more sophisticated self-service ticket machines, but displaced machines have then been placed at smaller stations not previously so equipped. Thus, for example, Ham Street (Kent, Southern TOC) acquired two such displaced machines in November 2008, one on each platform, and from 14 December 2008 became a Penalty Fares Station.
A similar ticket is known in Germany as Fahrkarte Anfangsstrecke. It can be acquired at older Deutsche Bahn ticket machines and is priced at € 15.00.
