Quite unforgettable was opening night when former First Lady Imelda Marcos strode on stage in a Joe Salazar black and emerald green terno with a hemline thick with layer upon layer of peacock feathers. The more unpleasant memory however, was the collapse of the second basement while the building was under construction. The unfortunate accident has spawned all sorts of stories that remain unverified to this day. There was talk of laborers who were entombed alive just so the tight building schedule could be met. This, in turn, led to stories of ghosts haunting the center.
