Good Day! I am an Architecture student from Cavite State University, and I would like to request some documents. Can I request for the details of the Old Insular Life Building in Escolta, Manila? Specifically, I am interested in the building status report, architectural and structural plans, and any roposals for the buildings's adaptive reuse. 

These documents will be used solely for our architectural thesis and not for commercial purposes.

Thank you!
