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.

Request lang po.... a picture of Manila Ice Plant (tama ba yung name nun?) which

was the first ice plant in Asia which once stood opposite Metropolitan Theater in

Plaza Lawton... survived World War II but not LRT beautification program....demolished

late 70's early 80's can't remember exactly...All that remains now.... isang bodega na

left unattended...should have been preserved by the National Historic commission...

Pag baba ng Quezon Bridge galing Quiapo...turn right dun sana yun..Think of what

someone's edifice complex could ruin...and erase from memory..REQUEST FOR LANG!

Correction lang pards. Iyong tinutukoy mong ice plant was called Insular Ice Plant and tama ka, it was a victim of the LRT 1 construction.

if you really want to see old manila, you can go on one of carlos celdran's walking trips. for a minimum P200-1,000 per person (depending on if you're a student, with a group, or alone), you can literally walk through history. one of the best ways to spend a lazy weekend.
