  • The stupid thing is that the Americans rebuilt Japan and ignored Manila. McArthur left the Philippines and stayed in Japan.

  • The beautiful woman carrying a box and passing through in the marketplace (the one with the earthen jugs and straw hats) shows a mix of Spanish and Filipino blood. She is called a "mestiza". Whereas Filipinas with brown Malay skin are called "morena".

  • How well-dressed we Filipinos were before the war. Even in the 50s and 60s I remember pictures of my dad and he's in a suit when at the office all day. Either that or in resplendent Barong Tagalog. Formal church attire was a must and the men wore neckties. How clean the Pasig River was! And most of all, the skies of Manila were smog-free!

  • After the WWII, MacArthur established land reform in Japan and made it more egalitarian by purchasing land from the rich landowners and reselling at very lower prices to poor farmers; while he didn't mandate it in the Philippines.

  • trapik pala sa escolta noon hanggang ngayon

  • kahit hndi noon moderno

    bt ang manila npakaganda pa rin

  • it's hard to believe tondo was the commercial center of manila back in the day. it's very saddening on what it has become.

  • The US was pressed to abandon the Philippines after the war when the local government pushed for full Independence from the US, US president Truman was angry with this after the US spent billions of dollars developing the country from 1898-1941 , All in hopes it would be our 50th state,

  • @MrLabyo i agree with you!

  • If Manuel Quezon is still alive, he would have said otherwise, with regrets.
