Nostalgic Video of Manila.

Old Manila. The Pearl of the Orient Seas.

Look at the architectural beauty of Manila. So beautifully built wasn't she? Old Manila reverberated the beauty of Old Spanish Architecture; and it is said that Manila's buildings and grid-patterns were molded after that of Madrid in Espana.

It is a pitiful shame that most of Old Manila and all of Intramuros were destroyed by the Great Pacific War. The Japanese were atrocious for their ill-respect of Filipino buildings and territory. They bombed and reduced most of Manila to ashes.

It is a total shame. Centuries-old buildings, bridges, and historical edifices were lost in that great war.

To the detriment of the Filipino and His Historical viewpoint.
