Manila: Queen of the Pacific

Ever wondered what Manila was like during its glory days? Those stories our parents, nay, our GRAND-parents would tell us about how Manila was one of the leading countries in Asia? "When coming from abroad back home to Manila, things would always remain the same or just get worse" they'd say. So here's a informative video for you guys! Check it, Vantage, posting something educational! Its a clip of Manila back in the 1930s! A lot of the areas and landmarks in the video are actually still well recognizable, especially for me since I grew up around Manila... Tondo to be exact. Those places were like my backyard back in the day. Anyways, it's a pretty long video but an interesting one at that. Look at the people, they're actually all dressed so nicely, as if everyone were rich! Suits, barongs, the works! Sad to say but, to me, Manila actually looked nicer before!
