Well Philippines is consist of 1700 Islands and Manila is fortunately small portion of it. Most old folks talk about there carabaos. to tend there farms. Too slow...but move on Philippines.  The world is changing fast.

[clodofish]

muy interesante el video amigo te escribo desde colombia mi lengua es tambien la española y vivo en suramerica me gustaria tener contacto con varios amigos asiaticos que hablen español de antemano gracias por tu tiempo

[lunafringe10]

Marcos, Aquino, the military there and la hora arroyo have run the place into the ground, And not to forget this damn church there, those useless parasites,

[thedecagon]

philippnes is not lucky bcoz spanish find it first...if british find im sure phil now is one of the prosperous country in the pacific like hongkong,australia,new zealnd and other county under the british empire...today none of this spanish colonize country are improving...thier is a story of padre damaso that even the priest on spanish time are corrupt

[emancoy]

@thedecagon well, the british did stole the philippines from the spanish once, but for some reason, the british gave the philippines back to the spaniards. if only the british kept the philippines, wait that cant be, Im of spanish descent, i wouldn't exist if that did happen.

[alvinsoar30]

the standard of living then was much more affluent compared to our present situation, you can observe it in the way most people dressed themselves...

[dromasoc]

[chaniey01]

hindi na tyu pearl of orient ngaun pearl of kangkungan na tyu

[junevi2000]

This film was 1938. About 3 years before World War II.

[EllonBayong]

I have 1939 - 1940 old newspaper...anyone intersted? hehehe

[micetx]

Ahahahahaha! Sinung narrator nitu...si Robin Williams?

[jani11189]

so beautiful.. I can't believe that I'm walking and seeing those places featured in this video everyday.

[jkcb]

Old Manila is beautiful than modern manila.(for me)

by just looking at their clothes. Men wearing suits and women on their traditional clothes. Even the buildings and bridges. No wonder Old Manila is one of the wealthy cities in Southeast Asia.

But now.

You're just going to University of Sto. Tomas in España, Manila and there is a 60+% chance of you getting robbed. And remember the Manila Metropolitan Theater?Before, they say that it's a grand building here in Manila. But check it out now.

[kevin080592]

its depressing though!

[superjepoy]

Wow! i wish i lived during that time..! Manila was soooo clean, unlike now.

[rickymdisini]

i studied urban planning and can only say that this film gives historic preservationists one more tool in the continuing preservation and rehabilitaton efforts for this old city. we are well on our way to rebuilding this place and ever so slowly...it will be done.

[tapatnabalimbing]

On 00:38, "...in 1898 Adm Dewey achieved one of the greatest naval vicotries in history the battle of Manila Bay..."

I beg to disagree. It was a fake Spanish-American battle to give way for Spain to "sell" the Philippines to US. Spain was already defeated by Philippine revolutionaries, and on the way out. But Spanish pride couldn't accept the fact that they were routed by short, flat-nosed, brown-skinned, and tuyo-eating people like me.

[activsimisnotacrime]

Well, the Phillipines or at least NCR is not a populated area...think of the USELESS and DESTRUCTIVE  golf courses that we have

[Percymony]

@activsimisnotacrime Thank you so much for this clip. You see, my mother, God bless her soul, was born in Sta. Cruz, Manila in 1930. She recently passed on, so this clip has a special meaning to me. I get to see how Manila was at the time of her birth. Thanks again.

[archsword69]

Kailangan pa ba ng population control program?ilan ba namamatay dahil sa murder rape drugs landslide vehicular accidents at iba pang natural na sanhi? ilan ba ang nabubuong bata dahil sa mga illegal na relasyon, bunga ng rape o simpleng kalibugan ng mga kabataan? moral recovery ang kailangan natin para tama ang patutunguhan natin.

[archsword69]

What is sinful is immoral so we need to turn away from immoral acts and help each other and united we can rebuild our country again.

[redsoil5]

Kailangan ng Pinas ngayon ay mag establish ng Master Plan para sa buong Pilipinas.Para ma tract ang future growth o development at para ma determine ang agricultural,Industrial,commer­cial,residencial,parks & wildlife preserve & forest areas.

Approximately 2 milyon Pinoy ang nadadagdag sa populasyon kada taon.Pag hindi natin nai plano ang buong Pilipinas ay magmumukhang slum ang Pinas sa mga susunod pang dekada katulad ng Manila ngayon..POPULATION CONTROL ang kailangan.

[archsword69]

ang daming lugar sa pinas na walang tao, walang nakatanim madami din ang tamad at gastador at unproductive citizens. Let them have moral recovery first para tama ang direksyon na tatahakin.

[archsword69]

robbed in the streets?... c'mon we have been robbed when Sabah was taken from us. Abu Sayyaf was funded by terrorists from neighboring country and so with MILF being funded by terrorists from ME killing innocent lives both peace loving Christians and Muslims. Illegal drugs from Hong Kong and China including pirated DVDs, appliances,clothes,cosmetics,m­edicines mostly substandard chinese products. All we need to do is go back to the fold of the church and pray to God and think what we need to do.

[AntiChapel]

a country that can easily wipe out w just one nuke....

[archsword69]

The moral values of pinoys that time was at its peak. They were still adhering to the teachings of the church. Pero ngayon puro kalibugan at kaimoralan kaya ang daming mahirap kasi di nakapag aral kasi iba iba ang tatay, yung iba biktima ng rape at incest yung iba sugarol ang mga magulang at madami pang rason .

[redsoil5]

Maraming factors kung bakit mahirap ang mga Pinoy,hindi lamang immorality pati narin ang kakulangan sa pag pa plano.(comewhat may kind of attitude).Kung paguusapan ang immorality ay mas maraming imoral na Kano(dibat dito natin nakuha ang ibang klase ng pagiging imoral?)

The topic here is all about the old manila & its splendor during the Spanish & American times.Maganda ang Manila noon.Ngayon ay pumangit dahil sa kapabayaan ng mga Katoliko who believe that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness"

[redsoil5]

Despite sa pagiging imoral ng mga Kano(hindi naman lahat).No.1 agenda nila ang physical planning & environment,kaya maganda at malinis ang Amerika kahit na ito in crisis.Ang mga Pinoy na masasabi natin na karamihan ay mataas ang moral ay walang pagpapahalaga sa kalikasan at kagandahan.Ang buong Pilipinas ay either Urban decay or rural decay sa ngayon(see google earth,pero may parte na magaganda at maayos din) ,pero majority ay slum or blighted areas,dahil wala sa plano ang mga inprastruktura.

[archsword69]

Di naman Catholic teachings ang come what may attitude ah tsaka di lng Katoliko nasa maynila. Maganda ang maynila noon kasi majority noon eh practicing catholic at may sense of nationalism at pride. Unquestionable ang faith at patriotism nila noon at mataas ang moral standards ng mga pinoy noon compared ngayon puro double standards pero walang moral puro religion wala namang faith.

[archsword69]

Eh bakit mas magaganda at malinis ang mga catholic schools at universities kesa sa mga state owned schools na funded ng government? Eh ang mga parishes compared sa mga barangay halls?Mga munisipyo sa mga shrines?Mga city halls sa mga cathedrals?Bakit umaalma mga tao pag malaki discrepancy ng PPCRV at Namfrel sa COMELEC?Hindi nagpabaya ang mga Katoliko ang gobyerno nagpabaya sa mga tao. tungkulin ba yan ng simbahan na pagandahin ang maynila?Si Cardinal ba mayor ng maynila?Madre ba presidente?

[archsword69]

I know someone who is not a catholic but has 18 children and 3 wives. one legal and two are concubine. He is not supporting most of his children thats why alot was not able to study and become jobless and become menace to the society. This s not catholic teaching but adds to our population.

[kill015]

wow. manila that time is so beautiful!specially tondo! wow!amazing!

[xpressivist]

"I have read carefully the treaty of Paris, and I have seen that we do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines. We have gone there to conquer, not to redeem. It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way. And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land." - Mark Twain

[xpressivist]

"Manila, born of American development"? Enough of this bullshit! First of all, many Americans like Mark Twain and the philosopher William James emphasized that the Americans had no moral and political right to invade and occupy the Philippines during this time. And secondly, our heroes and members of the Malolos Republic were more educated and capable of running the Philippines politically and economically than the Americans even before and during their military occupation of my country.

[berdegreen]

old school ah!!!

[sgtshendou]

Anu gnawa ng mga army ng mga Filipino nuong WW2?

natalo rin cla.

[AntiChapel]

manila now is full of sh1t ...the government are full of sh1t, the policeman are full of sh1t, the parents are full of sh1t...all people here are full of sh1t...i like the old manila...

[archsword69]

and our values are full of shit thats why we have all of these. If we only adhere to the teachings of the church maybe we only have a few shit.

[AntiChapel]

woah! that was fucking enlightening dude! it is impossible, the people are fucked

[kevin080592]

08:15...kinda reminds me of St.Michel Bridge in Paris!...

you don't find that in present day manila anymore

;-(((

[akoitosan]

thanks for this, uploader. ang ganda. galing mo ha. where did you get this video?

[hornangel]

thanks for this treasured video!

[donnyab]

even though I love the philippines and I am a foreigner, Manila is the most horrible place I have ever been

[redsoil5]

horrible indeed because it was cause by catholism,poor governance & poor physical planning.

[donnyab]

I have to say it looks really nice in these videos but the population was probably only a small fraction of the twenty million it is supposed to be today, also very few cars, its mad looking at something thats 80 years old...no jeepnies only horses and carts !

[redsoil5]

Manila today has the most dense population in the world with 43,000 persons per square kilometer.Imagine that? how could you keep the sanitation,physical planning ,fresh air with that much population concentrated in one place?

[redsoil5]

correction: 14,730 persons per square kilometer.source: (Wikipedea) as of 2007

[akoitosan]

catholicism has nothing to do with it.

[redsoil5]

I'm a Catholic also but I don't submit myself to blind obedience.I have only one child because that's the only one I knew I could afford.

Mga Pinoy ay magaanak ng marami na either sila ay unemployed or under employed.Nasaan ang common sense dito?

[archsword69]

ang common sense dito eh wala na tayong good moral values like b4. Sex befor marriage is common nowadays, daming unwed mothers, daming corruption, daming sex oriented mags muvees, drug addiction, rape, incest, illicit love affair these are against catholic teaching pero pampadami ng unproductive citizens that keeps our country poor.

[akoitosan]

these filipinos who have lots of kids, believe me they don´t do that out of obedience to the church. ang kulang sa atin trabaho. kung lahat may trabaho, mababawasan sana ang favorite past time ng mga pinoy...ang baby making.

[archsword69]

What about Belgium, Italy, Austria, Malta, Spain, Portugal and a lot of European countries? They are Catholic too. Catholicism has nothing to do with us being poor. We just did not follow the church teachings thats why population is getting bigger. Rape, polygamy, corruption, no concern for others,dishonesty, promiscuousity, teen pregnancy, theft these are immoral things and against the catholic teachings.

[kevin080592]

the most horrible place you've been?!!!....oh please! don't say that!...one takes a curious eye and a taste of history to appreciate manila....why don't you go to intramuros, makati, luneta, dewey boulevard, or visit any old churches like san sebastian or san agustin....those are the only few remaining survivors from the war! the silent witnesses of history ....if only they could do what humans could do...they would utterly weep in despair....so think outside the box! manila is stil improving

[donnyab]

been to Intramuros, really nice, one of the places I like, also Malate & Ermita where I stay is nice although NOT tourist friendly, even... what's it called... the boardwalk (Roxas Blvd) along the sea front nice but that's it, makati is just like any other town in the world, and the rest of Manila...Oh God!

Better to go to Cebu much nicer, havn't been to Mindinao yet.

I actually want to live there to be honest...if I could earn a living there I would move there permanently !

[AntiChapel]

oh yeah and be killed or get rob in the streets heheheheh....

[AntiChapel]

i agree people here are dont trust each other, they dnt even learned how to care for one another...its a fucking country...hope some disgruntled country bomb this shit...nuke it perhaps...fucking morons

[shasy1988]

great video!!

[pagugok]

manila is a very nice city before the war. unfortunately it was't restored to its original beauty after the war.

[curiouskamatis]

thanks SO MUCH for uploading such a wonderful video.
