  • ang nagpapahirap sa atin ngaun ay mga intsik mga amerikano at mga kurakot na mga pilipinong nasa gobyerno..pagaralan nyo mabuti ang kasaysayan at makikita nyo na ang mga kastila ang humubog sa atin upang maging isang bansa tayo..oo may pangaabuso mula sa iilang kastila pero mas malaking kabutihan at malaking kaunlaran ang naibigay sa atin ng mga kastila...ang maging kristiyano lang ay napakalaking kayamanan na pamana sa atin ng kastila yan..

  • Manila is fine now and recovered

  • I can guess how it may feel to have y'alls country destroyed in a war was terrible but im not going to say anything to insult or make America a savior but the Japanese was the aggressor and had plotted to destroy Manila and to kill every single filipino not leaving one single soul to survive. Yes it was bombed but how else are you to get the roaches out. We didn't occupy cause if we wanted to acquire y'all we would have stayed and not given you country back to after 300 yrs of rule by spain

  • @thereathing100

    We didn't occupy cause if we wanted to acquire y'all we would have stayed and not given you country back to after 300 yrs of rule by spain

    - as Mark Twain an anti-imperialist have quote, "these people have suffered 300 years of spanish rule, we should have given them education and a government of their own and i refuse in lading the talons of the american eagle in any other land"

  • kung walang giyera wala pa sanang tall buildings sa manila

    

  • grabe! mga

    bwisit na mga hapon na yan! d sana ganito ang buhay sa pinas! nananahimik ang mga pilipino noon bgla na lang darating mga

    abnormal

  • isipin na lng natin na kung sa panahon ngayon e mangyayari ito, sa kalagayan ng AFP ngayon, pano nila tayo maipagtatanggol, paano nila ma po protektahan ang bansa sa mga lumang gmit... di ko hinahanap ang digmaan pero wag na sana hinatyin pa dumating ito... sana maimodernize na ang AFP..MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS, MABUHAY ANG MAGIGITING NA SUNDALO, MABUHAY ANG LAHING MAHARLIKA..

  • so i think nagstart ang kahirapan ng mga pilipino dahil sa japan,., haiz

  • what a mess we children of this world can make. =<

  • @rebelh3art 

    hmmmm..US offered to the philippines to be the 51st state, however Phil took it down,..i think thats the reason why US just retalliated

  • warsaw ploand has been decimated to ruins and it was considered the most destroyed in the world, right next is manila,...BUT due to government will and determination, warsaw has restored everything that has been destroyed,..the same goes with japan, germany,france, korea and nanking,..what the philippines lacked however is the educational quality and the determination without ningas cogon,

  • Amerikano ang salarin! proud to be pilipino.....

  • Sana maibalik ang dating ugaling pilipino na unting unting nawawala. Sana huwag nang wasakin ang mga gusali matagal na nakatayo na naging bahagi na ng kasaysayan.

  • Sana maibalik ang dating ugaling pilipino na unting unting nawawala. Sana huwag nang wasakin ang mga gusali matagal na nakatayo na naging bahagi na ng kasaysayan.

  • napakaganda ng Manila dati the best kaysa ngaun ang baboybaboy na.. heehhe:)

  • gago kasi yang mga hapon na yan.....

  • YES!!! This is the proof that our brothers shed their blood and tears to fight agains any invaders that want to lure our nation, NA BINABABOY NAMAN NG MGA KAPWA PILIPINONG PULITIKO NA SAKIM SA KAPANGYARIHAN SA ATING PANAHON NGAYON, MASAHOL PA SILA SA MGA MAKAPILI NG NAKARAANG DIGMAAN.

  • I was taught by my parents not to hate people for what had been done by other individuals. But looking back at these photos, American soldiers or Japanese doesn't matter really hurts me much. So many unnecessary Filipinos killed on this unnecessary war.

  • Filipino culture architecture gone forever . It's both the americans and Japanese fault. All Filipino people , never forget.

  • @ellidan

    as far as i know, not only us filipinos have suffered with that great war of 1930's-40's but the rest of the world culture...it is just a matter of education and love of self,people and country that are essential when it comes to showing civility and progress towards in attaining national and self-esteem goals,..MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS! ngayon, bukas at magpakailanman...

  • @ellidan Don't forget the spanish, we had our own architecture and culture, destroyed by spanish, then left for massive insult to injury by the americans and japanese.

  • @ellidan although it was the Americans and Japanese who brought physical destruction to the Philippines, it was also the Filipinos who lacked the determination to revive a culture so beautiful. Other countries and cities heavily damaged during the war rebuilt themselves because of the determination of their respective people. The Philippines won their independence but lost themselves in regards to maintaing culture.

  • the american soldiers' hard push to drive away japs out of manila resulted in much more damage and destruction of manila and surrounding cities. their continued bombing and shelling of building, churches was a way to really scare the japs and filipinos who are japanese collaborators.

  • @ramraker - It was the only way to eliminate the Japanese from Manila. We cannot blame our Filipino-American soldiers who had to bomb the whole walled city of Intramuros and the churches inside the city. God bless the souls of these brave soldiers without whom. we would have remained under the yoke of Japanese rule.

  • US lies,

    Everything from Atomic Bomb's aim which they simply just wanted to test nuclear and chose Japan, The pearl harbor incident never happened, they made bunch of lie story of Japan History, Japan is now just being silent of every noises from brainwashed Koreans and Chinese. look "Secret history of Atomic Bomb" for reference.

    The 9-11 tragedy is set up by US Govt'.

    Setup for an opportunity to invade Afghanistan, and now they're also doing the same style to Iraq.

    Now Russia will give help.

  • What you are saying is all based on conspiracy theories, which have no relation to reality. Japan was bombed twice to hasten their surrender during their World War II. 9/11 happened because of American complacency and lax security. Afghanistan was under a crazy theocracy, which is a breeding ground for future terrorists, while Iraq's Saddam Hussein was under a malevolent dictator who killed thousands of Shia Muslims and Kurds. As for Russia, it is not her destiny to lead or rule the world.

  • ayos tong mga pics mo ah, i like old photos !

  • aww... this gotta hurt!

  • More than the historical artifacts and the architecture of the old city that were destroyed during the Battle of Manila, our greatest loss was the thousands of the country's best and brightest young men and women who were supposed to be the next generation of leaders and citizens. Many of them were killed by the Japanese as they went house-to-house and bayoneted even women and children to death in their defense of the southern part of the city.

  • war is not the way for peace the only left to us

    are fear ,deaths , and destroying our life,this war happend 60 years is only beggining

    we wait a most terrifying and most bloodiest war that soon happend

    bible predict 7 horns most powerful nation exist until now

    like rome he will suffer great lost and he will destroy by north korean or russian or china

    war in 1945 and 50 or 60 are not yet stop its only a beggining

    the questions who will start word war 3 for those bible

    predict

  • Two excellent books on the Battle of Manila: "By Sword and Fire" by Alfonso Aluit and "The Battle for Manila" by Richard Connaughton, John Pimlott and Duncan Anderson.

  • @phineas2222

    oh are they out?,..i also recalled a book about manila's history,..it is called "THE MANILA WE KNEW" i forgot the author and "Manila, memories of lost and passion" by an australian anne frank,..gotta buy them all someday if i could have financially ;)

  • @kevin080592 The Connaughton book, while old, is widely available online. Check Amazon or AbeBooks. The Aluit book is a Philippine publication. I was in Manila recently and saw that it was still on the shelves at National Bookstore. Both are excellent must-reads on the subject!

  • And the accompanying music, "Nearer My God To Thee", is said to have been the last song played by the orchestra on the sinking Titanic.

  • @phineas2222

    exactly!, and it was originally made for a funeral service,..so i just decided to put that song as for the sentimentality of the world war 2 in manila since it may look (atleast for me) quite accurate and specified

  • The Bayview Hotel (1:20) was where many women and girls, Filipinas and foreigners alike, from the affluent neighborhoods of Ermita and Malate, were taken and held to be raped by the Japanese, who later set it on fire.

  • @phineas2222

    oh don't feel too bad about it,..that was a long time ago,..but eventhough im reliving it lol, you got to remember that people change, just in a way time change, remember,.. japan also suffered during that last war

  • The Bayview Hotel (1:20) was where many women and girls, Filipinas and foreigners alike, from the affluent neighborhoods of Ermita and Malate, were taken and held and raped by the Japanese, who later set it on fire.

  • teka.... sa 7:02 bakit nasingit dun ang picture ng fil-am war aka battle of caloocan at sa 1:30 yun 1987 mendiola massacre? i thought this is ww2 battle of manila????

  • @tawewek

    i tend to indicate that wars, are practically evil and literal hell,..whether it may be civil war, islamic war, filipino american war, world war two,..they're all the same!

  • @kevin080592 change your title make it " the evils of war".

  • oohh.. it is very disgusting ... moment for us.. to remember .. to what happens before in our history...

  • @rolanie03

    Not necessarily disgusting,..but rather more of an educational awareness

  • Thank you for this. War is always pointless... no one wins.

  • @yvr1949

    yes indeed! ;), thank you too for watching

  • fuck japanese sakang maglakad!! lol

  • What they did in 65 Years - Triangle de Amore - Jose Rizal - are you Filipinos ? Or Devils ? Spain - America - Asia - es el Triangle de Amore - you don't need Love - go to Hell !!! Daddy Frank - Free Childs of God -

  • ang lousy ng music mo, typical filipino, designed to add more drama to an already very dramatic subject. result: nakakaantok sa iba o nakakainis sa iba, dahil nasobrahan na ng drama.

  • @karitoytube congratulations,...you have personified the classic trait of a typical filipino,..."CRAB MENTALITY",...eh ano naman music ang gusto mo?,...bad romance?,..michael jackson?",...

    after all,...the history of our nation is full of dark and dismal turbelence may color din naman, pero madrama at tragic din, hindi mo rin maiiwasan ang kasaysayan kase bumabalik parin iyan,...

    "belated araw ng kagitingan sa mga ibang pinoy dyan"

  • @kevin080592

    yan siguro trip nyan, mga walang kwentang tugtugin.....movie critic ata yung puking inang yan eh lol

  • @cesvialpando

    ay hayun ba?, search mo lang "Nearer my God to thee", ;)

  • @kevin080592, ngayon ko lang nabasa ito! napatawa ako dun ah. typical ka ngang pilipino, ayaw i-criticize. kapag may nag-criticize, tatawaging crab mentality. pilipino ka nga! purung-puro, walang halo.

  • @karitoytube

  • 2:59 the philippine national museum

    because of the bombing of manila

    some of the very important artifacts of our

    land and ancestors has gone

    now because of what the japanese did what else can we share to the next filipno generations?

  • well,...don't loose all hope, knowing the fact that manila and all together her precious jewels were blazed by the japs,....why not look on museums in europe like in madrid, paris or italy, i've seen old philippine pictures and artifacts preserved in there,...or in the US national liibrary of congress,...i've seen archival videos that have been captured in manila during the american regime, instead of moping o manghinayang, why not ask help to other countries that were involve, spain, US jap ;)

  • Kevin, Ang layo na 1972 Martial Law para i-equate ang paghihirap ng Pinas sa ngayon. Mula 1986 to 2010 gayun pa rin naman ang Pinas. Below the standard of Tokyo. Ang corruption ay patuloy pa rin kahit sa panahon mo.

  • hindi ba ang martial law was also considered as the dark years of philippine history,....kaya naghirap ang mga tao noon, corruption by the military coups and etchos, kaya naghihirap ang pinas,...naregain nga lang nung panahon ni tita cory, pero na bagsak nung panahon ni fidel, tapos nagkaroon pa ng collapse ng asian stock market, dagdagan mo pa si erap at si tita glo kaya hayun!, wawa naman pinas

  • wow this video was posted the day i shipped off for boot camp as a marine recruit... it seems so long ago. i feel like ive aged so much since then...

  • God bless your country and you will be in my heart and my grand father was in the war at that time and i was in iraq twice and we both love your country mary mother bless you......

  • american leave us shit and kill alot filipinos.

  • @suckthismotherfucker No i think i disagree. The Americans gave us a ton of war reparations. Its just that most of the money were stolen by corrupt rich Filipino families after the war to fuel political campaigns and rebuild what thy lost in the war. What the regular Filipinos lost the rich reaped.

  • para palang europe ang maynila noon.

  • cguro kung hindi nag kaganito, napakaganda sana ng maynila!!!!!!!!!!

  • ang maynila ay nabuhay noong panahon ng 1960's...kaya nga binansagan na "SECOND RICHEST ASIAN CITY right next to tokyo", ibig sabihin kahelira nya ang tokyo, paris, madrid and new york....but during the turn of the 1970's mr. ferdie marcus declared martial law...and the next thing you knew....the neglection (kapabayaan) in the city that is manila...punta ka sa quiapo maraming lumang bahay doon, kaya nga lang nasusunog o naagnas lang...

    thanks for the comment!

  • tingin ko naman, maibabalik pa naman ang dating sigla ng maynila eh. kung matino lang ang uupo sa gobyerno. pero hindi lang naman sa kanya nakasalalay ang pagpapaganda at pagpapabalik sigla ng maynila eh. dapat mag-uumpisa muna ito sa atin.

    infairness, gusto kong pumunta ng maynila sa mga panahon na iyan. hahaha. :))

  • aq rin...=[

  • nobodies perfect.. still a million thanks for the americans especially Gen. Douglas MacArthur..

  • Manila...from Paris of the Orient to Warsaw of the Orient!

    tsk tsk tsk!

  • despite the total destruction of our beloved manila, i think we should be thankful to our American liberators specially Gen McArthur who debated with Pres. Roosevelt and Admiral Nimitz to land 1st and liberate our country rather than bypass it and invade Formosa (Taiwan) first which is being proposed by Admiral Nimitz. He really wanted our country back and fulfill his promise to return. In 1942 when he fled to Australia on the orders of Pres. Roosevelt, he felt he betrayed his army and the Phils

  • When the Americans landed on Oct 20, 1944 at Leyte, they are 2 months ahead of schedule. that's how eager Gen MacArthur wants to liberate our counrty which for him is his second home.

  • MacArthur initially ordered not to use air or artillery bombardment to prevent the destruction of the city when notified that the jap navy men are not gonna give up the city easily. His men followed his orders but the fanatical resistance of the japs obliged them to use artillery to blast jap strongpoints and minimize casualties because of the suicidal tactics of the japs.

  • They also used artillery to speed up the defeat of the japanese because they knew that each day that passes by meant more and more civilians dying in the hands of the japanese.

  • my father who is a 7 year old boy during the liberation always say to me that if not for the Americans, millions more of Filipinos could have been massacred by the japs (remember Nanking?)

  • yes but Americans are also the one that provoked peaceful Japan and Japan then attack US bases across the Pacific...so... the Yanks also holds the blame for the destruction of MANILLE

    just look at their artillery weapons and oversentimental attitude, it had cost more damages than those of japan...

    i agree with you at some points....Americans does introduce us democracy and Western culture, and then Japan came over uninvitingly and the next thing you know....CHAOS AND BETRAYAL!

  • japs and koreans(espada de mayors)

  • It was the japanese who started the systematic killing of civilians, burning and demolition of manila when the Americans are closing in on the city. by the time the Americans have reached the city on Feb 4, 1945, the city was already burning.

    Manila could have been spared from horrors and destruction of war if the Japanese Navy men followed the orders of Gen. Yamashita to retreat to the mountains and abandon the city which he considers not worth defending.

  • BOTH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF MANILA

    yes i know that It was the japanese who started the systematic killing of civilians, burning and demolition of manila

    in fact they bombed numerous historic bridges like jones bridge, so that americans wouldn't be able to cross to the other side, were the japs has fled

  • It seems the focus here is not who started the war in the Pacific, but which country was responsible for demolishing Manila. I doubt either army worried about the physical structures while engaged in battle. Both sides fought with a vengeance. They fought for life not architural beauty. Survival could only be achieved if the opponent was inilated. To reach the enemy who would never quit...or to stop the US and the heavy artillery assault meant "whatever it takes". And it took a city.

  • the september eleven was nothing compared to this kind of tragedy of 1945!

    so americans stop being some lazy old faggots who didn't do anything but being redundant and desperate for attention!...you are also the one that has caused this catastrophe in the philippines!!!!

  • Well said...

  • 3:10...nice shot!!!

  • nice one!!! great vid!!! post ko ito sa FB ko ha! thanks!

  • My homeland....

  • I FEEL YOUR PAIN DUDE.. really.. sayang nga lang we have to pay these such of cost... the cost which we can no longer recover back.. "(

  • good video. But i think 1:34 is mendiola massacre of January 1987

  • first of all thank you very much! the battle of manila should always be remembered by everyone! especially mga pinoy sa maynila, second....you have a good eye and a great memory about the history!...1:34 is really the mendiola massacre!....i purposely use that in this video so as to add the emotions and historical background!.....Pareho rin naman sya eh!....tulad ng world war 2 ang mendiola massacre ay marami rin nabiktima sa maynila kaya dapat pahalagahan din ito!....:-)

  • noted :) btw we share the same feelings about what happened to manila and our country.

  • Its a pity that the once pearl of the orient became a battle ground of two imperialist countries. So sad to see Manila in ruins and its very sad state now.

  • the beloved city....

    ;-(

  • Manila before, was better than now. I miss Pinas.

  • oo nga eh! kung hindi lang sana sinira ng giyera dapat ang maynila ngayon ay magmumukhang Rome at San Francisco!

    sayang talaga! ;-(

  • Its so sad to see the city of our affections in ruins... and more so knowing that its destruction was forgotten.

    When will a good leader arise to rebuild our fair city once more?

  • yes! its really depressing to see our beloved like that!....all the world class hotels, shops,universities,...and the most beautiful homes of different cultural styles,.....the best establishments, and all the sentimental treasures and infinite wealth....ALL laid to ruins.....virtually wiped out!....the true "Pearl Of the Orient"....is in total devastation!.....

    ;-(

  • Some survivors are left: The Bayview Hotel, the Museo Pambata, DLSU's La Salle Hall (though successive renovations have bastardized the interior of the structure), Rizal Memorial Coliseum, the Metropolitan Theatre... but we should take better care of these buildings, like what Singapore did to the Fullerton building (former Central Post Office). Imagine our post office turned into a grand hotel, with lights radiating down Taft Avenue...

  • you're right!!!...there are still survivors that still tell their stories like the luneta hotel, the rizal shrine, the san sebastian church, the san agustin church, old houses of intramuros, rizal theater, the quiapo church, ocampo pagoda (medyo pumanget lang ), the national museum, antonio luna's house, bridge of spain,hidalgo house, paterno house agrifina circle marami parin pala eh!....but i hope they can still make it for another decade!....tama ka! dapat ang post office gawin narin hotel!.

  • continuation....

    yung mga nasirang buildings like (san nicolas church, escolta shops, hidalgo street houses,jones bridge,burnham buildings, art deco villas sa dewey boulevard, santo domingo church,ocean theater,hotel del oriente, vito cruz tranvias pati na rin ang jai alai building ....ay pwede naman gumawa ulit ng bago na kaparehong kaperahong ang design!(parang ginagawa sa Paris) syempre mas magaling ang mga architects ngayon kesa noon di ba! kailangan lang ng mga tao na alam ang history!
