Old Metro Manila


Recommended Posts

Old CCP Complex...

Old celebrity faces in b & w...kilala nyo?

 

Pards, great pics!

 

The left photo shows the Legazpi Towers in the background (the one with the red brick outline).

 

The right photo shows the popular 50s love team of Nestor de Villa and Nida Blanca, courtesy of LVN Studios. Unfortunately, both are deceased now. An all-out effort should be taken to preserve those real old, Filipino movies. They're part of our heritage and younger and future Filipino generations should have access to them.

Eto pa, Pareng wb...the old Congress Bldg. along Padre Burgos in Manila circa 70s. Linis pa ng Maynila nung araw at may cloud cover pa.

 

Next is a local mag in the 70s we'd never got ourselves caught reading during our time... :rolleyes:

i heard somewhere na next to warsaw (poland), manila sa the 2nd most destroyed city for its liberation from japan...

 

and the destruction was inflicted by the americans mostly...

 

well... if we could just enjoy the beauty of how the original architects wanted manila to look then, now...

 

imagine this, tiananmen square, the washington dc area, paris, london, prague all still look very much the same as it was at the turn of the century save for minor technological improvements...

 

here in manila, we build, destroy, build, destroy... no share values..

 

sayang...

 

great pictures of the bygone glory..

The Americans "LEND" us the "MONEY" to REBUILD our NATION .....

 

Come to think of it ... We are still to pay tons of DEBTS to them ....
