HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! oo nga ano!! sana napasama na itong dalawang ito sa pagsabog sa Plaza Miranda nuong dekada 70

 

Bakit malinis ang Maynila nuon? Hindi pa alam ng mayors na may pakinabang pala ang squatters sa botohan.

I have great memories of the Love Bus. If i remember correctly 12 pesos will get you from greenbelt all the way to Escolta.

Calle San Sebastian

 

 

Plaza Lawton in 1930s

 

 

Ayala Avenue 1970s

 

Rustan's former design is better than what we have now! The style (International Style) in which it was made was forward looking to the crap that stands now. Even Manila Pen's fountain area and its renovated lobby looks so out of place with the Pen's 80's contemporary style.

Whne the Love bus first came out in 1975, P1.50 from Cubao to either Ayala or Escolta. Regular bus from Cubao to Ayala was 30 centavos then.

when I was very very young my parents would pass by plaza libertad in quiapo, and I always got mesmerized by the people milling around each other and just plain talking and talking for hours about something I really did not understand at that time....politics.....and even now i don't.....nowadays plaza libertad is crowded with kibitzers and hawkers

There are sectins of binondo and escolta that have stayed timeless but they are soon being overtaken by new developments
