ang gara pala ng old Quiapo Church! Ibinalik mo ang koneksyon ko sa Maynila. San ba nakakabili ng time machine? uunahin kong balikan ang Maynila mid-1800s. Nakakalungkot lang na ang masalimuot na lansangan at gusali ngyon sa Maynila ay bunga ng hindi pagsaalang-alang sa katagang “Urban Planning” na sa pagkakaalam ko ay alam na ng mga pinuno at arkitekto kahit noong 1st century BC pa. sadness…..

There should be a initiative from the Government and Academe to compile all these historical records of Manila (with emphasis on photos) as well with nearby provinces (Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Bulacan). The sad thing is Pinoys nowadays does not care about their past anymore. I am not a pure Pinoy but I am very passionate to learn about your History.

Part of becoming a good citizen of your country, and to bring progress to your economy is by looking at your past and aligning these elements with the present and future.

To the Author of this Blog, job well done! I salute you, keep it up.

Hi, Im Chesca, a researcher from a TV network. I am currently working on a documentary that focuses on Sta. Cruz and within it. I would like to ask your permission if we can use the videos and photos in your website about the said topic. Here is my email address: fmseneres@yahoo.com. I am looking forward to your favorable response.
Thank you!

@renato. United Nations used to be Isaac Peral and Faura has always been that. Mercado? I forgot what it is now. If you want a more or less complete mental diagram of Manila street names pre and a little post-war, you can buy or refer to the book “By Sword and Fire” by Alfonso Aluit vividly detailing the institutions, streets, people and events in the areas of South and North Manila during the Japanese occupation.

@peegee: the bottom captions are for the pictures on top, so the 1930s is right for that frame, given the era clothes the church-goers are wearing. the bottom picture is the 1950s because of the jeepneys.
