  1. Vividly illustrating the condition of burned-out, battle-scarred Manila, as U.S. engineers and thousands of Filipinos begin the huge task of reconstruction, is this aerial view looking southwest across the Pasig River toward hulks of sunken ships in the harbor. Tall building, left foreground, is gutted, Eastern Hotel, center, across river, is burned out, general post office, extreme left, across river is Metropolitan Opera House in ruins. Battered wall of Intramuros, Walled City, and destroyed buildings inside, occupies rectangular area beyond post office. Left is demolished Santa Cross Bridge, repaired by Army engineers. The streets have already been cleared of rubble.

    AFTER THE BATTLE OF MOUNT DAJO (March 9, 1906).

    From a negative made on the spot the day of the "brave feat of arms," when a great body of Moros, men, women and children, were killed by the army under Gen. Wood; "a logical incident in the sequence of events which will include the whole history of the Philippine posessions."

    your pictures brought me back the good old times and good memories of my childhood that i would not trade with the generations today. I remember just before the Marcoses built the cultural center in Dewey boulevard, my tatay would bring me to manila bay to gather seashells and buy fresh fish from the fisherman that are coming back from their night fishing.
