Nice vid. But this is not during Spanish times. This is video depicts the American Commonwealth era. Spanish times ended in 1898 when Spain ceded the islands to the US after it won the Spanish-American War. Interestingly enough, Spanish language and newspapers were thriving at that time. It was spoken by many educated filipinos and wasn't solely spoken by those with Spanish blood. Manila was a tri-lingual city.
this is not a vintage taken from the SPANISH ERA,...otherwise it is from AMERICAN ERA,....try to edit the title,...the last years of the spanish was from 1890's upto 1898,...after that era was the american period,..1898-1946,..this was a 1938 archive so likewise,..it is an american era archive not spanish indeed,..

yes.... me recuerda mucho al ambiente de mi ciudad, Ferrol, Galicia, Spain. Look like Ferrol in some times. Mi familia recuerda agradáblemente a Filipinas y a sus habitantes.
I don't know what's wrong w/ filipino politicians. Why can't they keep the country stable like what we have on the early centuries. Now I know why Jose Rizal doesn't completely agree w/ complete liberation of the country from the Spaniards. I guess the Philippines need more lesson to learn.
@ASIANBOYZPRODUCTION well at first he didn't, but he did when he saw how oppressive Spain was, remember what happened to Spain right after Philippine revolution, they were going downhill, a dictator showed up, but then they recovered fortunately. The Philippines has history of forming a great prosperous govt., perhaps not unified, but among it's several kingdoms showed this. Perhaps it's not our freedom, but more the bad influences that were given to us, from both westerners.
ok, daming sinira ng mga kano..dapat gilid ng intramuros dagat na eh tinayo ung south port..tinambakan ung gilid ng pader for sanitary reasons daw..i wonder nasaan ang mga kano nang binomba ng mga hapon ang manila? di ba dapat binigyan nila tau ng proteksyon dahil sakop tau ng amerika? iniwan pa nila mga jeep..nwla tuloy ang tranvia..just my opinion..
La Manila intramural era bella hasta que los americanos la redujeron a escombros, bombardeándola sin piedad so pretexto de que allí se había asentado el estado mayor japonés del archipiélago. Con Manila destruyeron también a toda la clase capitalina hispánica; es decir, el grupo humano que se expresaba en español y que habría podido continuar irradiando cultura hispánica a toda la nación. Fue un calculado descabezamiento. A partir de entonces, el fatum del español en Filipinas estaba sellado.

@gavoparo10000 DE ACUERDO! Filipinas belongs to the Hispanic World! Let us all now go back HOME to our real family, con nuestro hermanos verdaderos, los Ibero-Americanos, y con nuestra madre patria España!
@lunafringe10 yes- compare Okinawa with the rest of Japan- a very clear example of a place that should be thriving, except for the military occupation of a colonial power.
Hangang ngayon tinatrato parin tayo ng ibang bansa na parang katulong at hayop (mga overseas workers natin mga kawawa diba?) Dapat dito sila nag-tratrabaho sa sariling bansa natin pero hindi. Bakit? kasi mga official natin walang vision sa future. Kailangan magbago na. Kung hindi magbabago ngayon eh kailan?? kung masasakop na tayo muli ng ibang bansa? Hindi na, tama na ang pangaapi sa atin.
Makes me real happy to see this and also quite mad to think our government wasted all these grandeur so they can have a government run by people who were related to past leaders and are not even worth to be in their position. That's not democracy or a republic that's oligarchy or a shadow-monarchy.
@iFlyFS yes.... me recuerda mucho al ambiente de mi ciudad, Ferrol, Galicia, Spain. Look like Ferrol in some times. Mi familia recuerda agradáblemente a Filipinas y a sus habitantes.
@Myro11verity There were more trees then and much cooler climate a hundred of years ago. My grandfather who was an American missionary aide in the Mountain province told me were still snow falls in the summit of the highest mountains of the P.I. during those era. I still keep photos of my parents during the 50's and 60's wearing coats and ties and they told me the climate was not as hot as today.
@MrDuduyski They were the most fail, spanish destroying our culture(assholes), Americans being liars and barbaric, Japanese for the most hideous warcrimes and failure to control their armies.
@MrDuduyski No they actually did succeed to conquer. Yung lamang dahilan na bakit free na kayo lahat ay kasi someone always had to free you. Laging yung mga Amerikano. Napalaya ang mga Amerikano ang Pilipinas kay Espanya, tsaka Japan. Kaya naman, dapat pasalamatan mo kami!

we're being colonized because of my country's location :) you have access around the world through sky and land because it is open to the east and west :) good base for aiming power to rule the world(colonizers knew that).. as simple as that ,, my professor told me that :D
This video is great! I love it. It shows here that Filipinos act educated than the new breed we have now. I just wish that we continue to act educated and well-mannered (even if you went to school or not) in all that we do in this country particularly in solving problems and not raising voices and too much hatred when one idea is better than the others.
ESPANA NEVER LEFT LAS ISLAS FILIPINAS,THE HISPANIC CULTURE IS ALIVE AND RUNS IN THE BLOOD OF PEOPLE,NAME.LAST NAME,CHURCHES,MONUMENTS,RIVERS,CITIES,SAINTS,CATOLICISMO,IN THE BEAUTY OF THE WEMANS,PORTS,POLITICIANS,IN THE SOULS OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE,IN THE FORM OF THE GOBIERNO,IN ITS HISTORY AS NATION.PEOPLE VERY PASIONATE,PROUD.PATRIOTICO,RELIGIOUS.BREVE,INTELECTUALES...ETC ETC..PEOPLE VERY PROUD TO BE HSIPANIC DECENDENT..AND ROOTS..VIVA ESPANA Y LAS FILIPINAS POR SIEMPRE.AMEN
@slickspic180 You are stupid. Eres un estupido. Los filipinos no son hispanos. okay? the only reason why they have spanish last names is because they were FORCED to pick out a spanish last names. filipinos are racially confused.
@ lui920...vete a la mierda estúpida español está puñado de bárbaros, que la gente no sabe nada más que a las mujeres la violación y matar a la gente ... ahora ¿dónde está tu país poderoso?
Napakasarap siguro kung maibabalik pa ito ngayun.Ang malinis na hangin at ilog.Tahimik na pamayanan na hindi ka mag aalangang kumilos o pumunta kahit saan mang parte ng maynila.Walang trapik at hindi maingay.
@M4A108 Perdón, pero el país más corrupto del mundo son los Estados Unidos, quienes no sólo traicionaron a los independentistas al adueñarse del país, sino que incluso sacrificaron al pueblo usándolo de carne de cañón durante la invasión japonesa. Si a eso le agregas que alejaron a las islas de su raíz hispana al obligar el uso de su horrible idioma inglés...pues ahí tienes los resultados. Greetings from Mexico
@M4A108 Sorry, but the most corrupt country in the world are the United States, who not only betrayed the independence to take over the country, but even sacrificed the people using it as cannon fodder during the Japanese invasion. If we add that away to the islands of their Hispanic roots by requiring the use of their horrible English ... well there you have the results. Greetings from Mexico

No wonder, it was easy for the Americans to carpet bomb ancient Manila, the heart of the Pearl of the Orient during the Second World War!!!!!!! God Bless America!!!! TO "FREEDOM" AND "DEMOCRACY"!!!!!!!!! :)
@mikhailthegrinch No wonder, it was easy for the Americans to carpet bomb Manila, the Pearl of the Orient during World War II. God Bless America!!!!!! :)
Is this how Manila was transformed after the United States plundered the Philippines' reserve in gold and silver worth, over one hundred billion U.S. dollars (according to witness Soledad Vital de Luna, second wife of the famous painter Juan Luna in her 1952 letter) during the Philippine-American War which resulted to 1.5 million Filipino casualties as a direct result of the war (according to the historian James B. Goodno, author of the Philippines: Land of Broken Promises)?????????????????????
@mikhailthegrinch yeah that's the reality. That's the main reason the U.S.A. should pay us due to the plundering they made to our country. The Philippine government should consider those as payments, not aid.
i wonder what the philippines been like if spanish japanese american didnt fuck it all up,.. probably were successful.. too bad our country is iressistable they all want it..haha
@franzken you can't really include the Spanish in it, because this is a lot of what made the Philippines and its culture. The Japanese and Americans were the ones we could question "what if?" because their invasion and destruction were much recent and in the more modern era. The Japanese and Americans were basically interrupting the Philippines.
@lookscudkill it was like 60 years ago. it has nothing to do with the philippines nowadays. take note during the 1950s we are an Asian power rivaling to Japan.
@lookscudkill result of the past? how come? Philippines become one of the top nations in Asia and in South East Asia. The situation now is only influenced by the crisis that happened during Marcos dictatorship and during Aquino's term. Our Nation had only started to recover during Ramos term but again fell during Erap's term. History may have influenced our culture but not what is happening to us now. Will you dreamers wake up!? Its your fault in just dreaming and not doing anything why this
@lookscudkill nation has turned into mess. why not look yourselves a better job. or a business that could provide jobs for people rather than criticizing the government for its ill deeds or its bad images? no nation has no bad image. keep that in mind!
Ur right abut that! My granfather told me that there are lots of Jap illegal imigrant in Manila during that time, mostly those Japs works as dishwasher in restaurants! My Lolo told me about it!
@bayyagg LOL! During the occupation, many of those Japanese dishwashers suddenly appeared as military officers. It turned out they were advance parties of the Japanese Imperial Army.
Nakakainis tuloy ang mga Amerikano sa Battle of Manila. Sila yung nagbomba ng mga magagandang gusali sa Manila eh para mapasuko ang mga Hapon. Maski ospital na may mga pilipino pinagsisira nila para makuha yung mga hapon. Sayang tuloy.
@chxdst kahit na dinurog pa ng gera buong pilipinas nasa mga pilipino parin ang desisyon kung pagagandahin nila ulit bakit ang germany? buong berlin wasak pero tingnan mo ngayon napaka ganda... tayong mga pilipino rin ang wumawasak ng bansa natin tapos sinisisi mo sa gera noon 70 years ago LOL kakaawa tuloy
arrabal, casco, intramuros, extramuros..are words used in panama for location where poor people were located..arabal , casco was the casco antiguo or the new city of panama founded by spaniards after morgan pirate destroyed the old city of panama, intramuros was the location into of casco or spanish city where rich people lived..extramuros is the zone populated by medium class people..i beleieve that i have listened these words in your interesting documental..congratulations
Are there any Filipino films set during this era? I'd love to see a beautifully done, sumptuously designed period film, with a sophisticated plot featuring complex characters. If not, it's about time! :)
There were many, Secreto de Confesión, Las Dulces Mestizas, El Milagro del Nazareno de Quiapo, etc. all in Spanish and all box office top hits, specially in the US and South America.
Most of them gone after the bombing of Manila during WWII
Try "Lola" from Philippine director Brillante Mendoza, who got awarded best director at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
It tells the stories of 2 grandparents whose grandchildren are on opposite sides of one crime — a mobile phone robbery-turned-murder. One tries to raise money to bail the perpetrator; the other seeks funds to bury the victim.
@RafaelMinuesa I suppose I should be even more clear. A period film set in the first half of the twentieth century somewhere in the Philippines but made within the past decade.

we're being colonized because of my country's location :) you have access around the world through sky and land because it is open to the east and west :) good base for aiming power to rule the world(colonizers knew that).. as simple as that ,, my professor told me that :D

This video is great! I love it. It shows here that Filipinos act educated than the new breed we have now. I just wish that we continue to act educated and well-mannered (even if you went to school or not) in all that we do in this country particularly in solving problems and not raising voices and too much hatred when one idea is better than the others.

Si a eso le agregas que alejaron a las islas de su raíz hispana al obligar el uso de su horrible idioma inglés...pues ahí tienes los resultados. Greetings from Mexico

Is this how Manila was transformed after the United States plundered the Philippines' reserve in gold and silver worth, over one hundred billion U.S. dollars (according to witness Soledad Vital de Luna, second wife of the famous painter Juan Luna in her 1952 letter) during the Philippine-American War which resulted to 1.5 million Filipino casualties as a direct result of the war (according to the historian James B. Goodno, author of the Philippines: Land of Broken Promises)?????????????????????

@mikhailthegrinch yeah that's the reality. That's the main reason the U.S.A. should pay us due to the plundering they made to our country. The Philippine government should consider those as payments, not aid.

@franzken you can't really include the Spanish in it, because this is a lot of what made the Philippines and its culture. The Japanese and Americans were the ones we could question "what if?" because their invasion and destruction were much recent and in the more modern era. The Japanese and Americans were basically interrupting the Philippines.

@lookscudkill result of the past? how come? Philippines become one of the top nations in Asia and in South East Asia. The situation now is only influenced by the crisis that happened during Marcos dictatorship and during Aquino's term. Our Nation had only started to recover during Ramos term but again fell during Erap's term. History may have influenced our culture but not what is happening to us now. Will you dreamers wake up!?

Try "Lola" from Philippine director Brillante Mendoza, who got awarded best director at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
It tells the stories of 2 grandparents whose grandchildren are on opposite sides of one crime — a mobile phone robbery-turned-murder. One tries to raise money to bail the perpetrator; the other seeks funds to bury the victim.
