Manila During the Spanish Time

I stumbled upon a blog article owned by a former colleague of mine. In it, he posted videos of old Manila during the Spanish colonial time.

The video is a documentary about Manila, obviously produced by the Americans, most likely in the early part of the 1900s.

Worth your time watching and reminiscing the old Manila.

Death at Milo Marathon

Somebody died in the 34th Milo Marathon held last July 4, 2010. For some reason, there was not any news about the man’s death in the leading news agencies such as Manila Bulletin, Inquirer or Philippine star.

A 37 year old man named Remus Fuentes died of multiple organ failure as a consequence of the heatstroke he suffered about 40 hours earlier.

A detailed account from the father of Remus can be found at PinoyFitness.

Slum Area in Ortigas Burned

This slum or popularly called squatters’ area is located in Barangay San Antonio in Pasig City. I believe it’s still part of Ortigas Center. The street is part of UA & P or University of Asia and the Pacific.

One day last year 2009 while walking to work, I saw this sight. Good thing i’ve had my Nikon D40 at that time.

There used to be sidewalk eateries in this area, catering to mostly construction employees.

Honestly, i was secretly delighted when the place got burned. I don’t like squatters.

But the following week, the settlers slowly rebuilt their homes.

See the map below to know its location: It’s in Escriva Drive.
