@Aruchinjiru what would be the purpose of the building?

[Aruchinjiru]

San Ignacio Church was suppoused to be re-built as well with funds form teh Spanish government.

Unfortunately some idiot who did a presentation to the Spaniss representative was very pro-American and anti-Spanish.

Thus, the presentation consisted of how the Spanish were bad and Americans were good.

In the end the Spanish government did not give any money, why would they after such a presentation.

[Aruchinjiru]

Philippine government is already starting on re-building the Marble Palace - Ayuntamiento.

They finsihed excavations and are now beginning to build the walls.

Fact:

Ayuntamiento was the grandest building in Intramuros. It was built in marble, contained many paintings done by well known Spanish Hasburg Royal painters. The interior was furnished and decorated from French, Chinese, Spanish and Austrian luxury imports.

It was bombed during World War II and never rebuilt until now.

Me parece que estoy en la ciudad de Antigua (Guatemala), ó en el barrio de la candelaria en la Ciudad de Bogotá (Colombia) y hasta en el barrio de La Habana Vieja (Cuba), pero no, esto es Intramuros en Filipinas, un lugar de gran belleza, ciertamente un tesoro de gran valor.

It seems to me that I am in the Antigua City (Guatemala), ó in the Candlemas Neighborhood in Bogota City (Colombia) and up to in the Habana Vieja neighborhood (Cuba), but not, this is Within the walls in Philippines, a place of great beauty, certainly a exchequer of great value.
