I hope the city can get more funding to remove the overhead wires in both Intramuros and Binondo (Chinatown) and encourage pedestrian shopping streets like in Europe. It's already been done quite successfully in Bonifacio High Street.
True, they should make those overhead wires in the whole Intramuros and also do more brick roads as well on all small streets. They also have to relocate informal settlers and make sure all the buildings will follow the building code and architecture for Intramuros. I think best they have to remove the old mall inside Intramuros that uses bland 60's architecture and don't follow the Colonial and Bahay-na-Bato architecture.
I know the city quite well, having gone to school there myself. It would be very difficult to remove the slums when they provide politicians with votes during elections. There have been some improvements, but still leaves much to be desired. I would still like to see the removal of the Torre de Manila, however. But it's starting to seem more and more unlikely due to the lack of support and political will.
Things to do to improve Intramuros: 1. Remove the squatters 2. Put those ugly wires underground 3. Ban tricycles, padyaks and jeepneys and instead revive the tram system that goes around Intramuros. 4. Prohibit road side parking 5. Widen the sidewalk with cobblestone for an old city vibe. And there you go, Intramuros will be alive again and it will attract more tourists. So many opportunities wasted with this wonderful historical place.
fix the sidewalks and paint them. such useless slow to move officials in the PHilippines. They even have an intramuros council but never does anything.
Well what happened to Iskomunista Jomagoso Moreno’s fervent frenzy of besutifying Manila? Election fever got to him so these urban settlers suddenly became untouchable equating to votes is it?
Intramuros can never fully replicate what the city used to look like in the past, but I believe the area can be so much better than what it is now. The area is still not bad and nice compared to other areas in the city. You have the Fort, Churches, museums, and while some of the old style buildings might not be the best restorations, it isn't bad. If they can just try to invest better in this area and spark a better life, that's all you can ask for. I don't think you can move the residential areas there which I totally understand, but hopefully some of the modernist buildings can be removed and replaced to bahay na bato style. I also would love if that Golf club that occupies a great amount of Green space could be converted to a park and areas can just simply be clean with good places to walk, shop, hangout, and eat.
Only the Intramuros Walls, fort santiago walls and San Agustin church is authentic survived the War the rest was Flattened by American shelling, all old style buildings were only built started in 1980
That golf course needs relocating out to the ocean. Then return ot to a nice colour ful park with lots of flowers and small trees. The park would then become a place for locals and tourists to relax whilst exploring the surroundings.
The Philippines is truly the "melting pot" of the world. It is a combination of Filipino, American, European and Asian heritage. From the hi-tech modern metropolis of BGC, to the most rural & indigenous provinces of Batanes or Ifugao, the Philippines is the most diverse country on Earth. The most talented too hehe ♥️🇵🇭
@@mexuryx900 I totally agree with you!! I really love Sinigang, Adobo, Menudo, Lechon, Kaldereta, Binagoongan, Pinakbet.....the list goes on and on. ♥️😅😅
Watching this is like being in Europe. I hope the next president will not gonna ignore this and the old Chinatown. Philippines is a very diverse country. The next president should focus more on nature. It can make our country clean and I hope that they will help those poor people that's living anywhere. Plus, protecting endangered animals in our country and also even animals that's not endangered. Our country is rich. I hope the Philippines will rise soon. Thanks so much for this!
corruption, too many people and un-even distribution of wealth are some of the reasons those dreams will be very hard to achieve and there's no way to compare it to Europe .no.
Well presently you cannot compare Manila to Europe as most of the Grand Architectural structures were destroyed. Pre-War Manila though was comparable to European cities and was actually dubbed thd PARIS OF THE EAST. B29 carpet bombing by the Americans almost completely obliterated the once famed Oriental Hispanic City into smithereens. Rest is history and a once proud Cultural heritage gone in smoke.
Intramuros is beautiful, full of history. We should look to Boston for examples on how to care and preserve historical sites. This place has amazing potential. A gem to be polished. They should charge people for parking and use the proceeds to improve the area. Btw, that golf course is a slap in the face to all Filipinos. That area should be a walking and biking trail where people can picnic and enjoy the walls from outside.
I hope they can fix the wires there also this is unlikely and not feasible but it nice to see less modern cars in Intramuros.....maybe it would be better if they only allowed kalesas or bikes in there to really look European. And of course keeping the streets really clean will always be nice. Great video, I loved it!

Comfort place ko dati ang intramuros nung akoy istudyante sa manila. Everytime na sobrang stress ko sa school dyan lang ako nag lalakad lakad at tumatambay nag mumuni. Nakakamiss ang intramuros😍😍😍
Thank you so much showing Mapua University i got teary eyed as i remember walking the street of Intramuros with my father he used to work in Mapua. This time i will be walking along with my children and my father in my locket i miss Philippines 🥲
They really should start implementing underground pathways for those electric lines, it kills the atmosphere of being in a time of old colonial Manila.
@@No-Pressure-Only-Results thats a different story. Some areas of manila are low which is prone in flooding thats why underground electric lines cant do here and manila is also have fault lines which is very risky when earthquake happens. Its not all about peoole tho lol
If only Intramourous undergrounds their cables, and Escolta cleans/ rehab/Underground cables/make old looking bldgs. Manila would be a very Unique city. It can be the only Metro that the capital is the name of the Metro and the capital itself’s vibe is different from the surrounding modern cities
@@mrtnjss Cebu city is the only city that sustains spaniard culture. As a cebuana i find Luzon especially Manila looks like an Old China town, old new york or looks like 70s in tokyo. There are so many Chinese languages everywhere in manila even the street names, or if not american last names such as John St.
@@iceinducer9528 I agree, but I come from Zamboanga City , a city that speaks broken spanish language that is chavacano and also we practice spanish culture such as cuisines and lifestyle. And I think Zamboanga has more spaniard culture than Cebu.
I am literally and physically feeling the yearning and craving to go out and explore the city again. I have always fancied a solitary walking tour of the Walled City of Intramuros. Your video is practically making me cry.... I really want to go out again
I visited some of these places in 2019 and I have to say that they were really beautiful. I really like the unique atmosphere, you cannot experience this in other Asian countries. Just that I was scammed by the tricycle drivers at San Agustin Church, so I avoid looking back at the photos because it reminded me of how stupid I was hahaha. But I definitely want to visit these places again!
53:11 Colegio de San Juan de Letran! The school i went to when i lived in the Philippines it's still standing! It was established in 1620 at the same location in intramuros.
I like Intramuros, my favorite place in the city of Manila. The squatters area is an eye soar. Hopefully, the informal settlers will be relocated outside of Intramuros though.
Minsan talaga naiisip ko mag politika dahil gusto kong tanggalin lahat ng squatter sa buong bansa. Sana naman bigyan pansin ng gobyerno yung mga squatter, sakit sa mata nila makita. Pati sana ibalik na ang mga sidewalk kasi wala ng malakaran mga tao dito. Kung may pera ang gobyerno para sa pagpapaganda ng manila bay, dapat kaya din nilang ilipat yung mga informal settlers at tanggalin lahat ng mga squatter
@@ronald2795 Brad sang-ayon ako jan, talagang importante ang pagpapaganda ng Maynila PERO importante din na irelocate ang mga squatter dahil mas may control ang gobyerno sa kanila kung nasa pag-aari sila ng mga awtoridad. Doon mas kaya nilang pigilan ang pag overpopulate nila pero kung nasa slums pa rin sila? Malabo mangyari yun kaya dapat isa yan sa prayoridad na gawin ng mga gobyerno. Mas mapapadali rin ang pagpapaganda ng bansa kung walang mga squatter.
@@noc805 mga taga probinsya mga yan Iilan na lang ang orihinal na taga maynila dahil maraming namatay noong world war two.Sana mapatupad yung balik probinsya tapos huwag na huwag na sila magpapastay ng walang bahay sa manila.
Good news, the current mayor is building in-city vertical and horizontal housing within Manila. In due time they will be relocated to these housing projects.
I went there during my 2019 field trip. I was always fascinated by Intramuros when I first learned about it in school. Nevertheless, I was amazed on how beautiful Intramuros looked (apart from the slums and overhead wires). I wish that the whole area is preserved and renovated to atleast keep the old “Spanish Vibes” alive.
If you see a Doric or Ionian column of an old building structure that must be a Spanish inspired Architecture but are very rare today in the Philippines for many of the old buildings were destroyed during WWII.
Intramuros is almost like a faded crown. Much of the luster and grandeur it once held in the prewar era was lost to war and modernization. A shame the Filipinos did not restore it like in Europe. Last time I was there, there were modern-styled buildings erected inside Intramuros that stuck out like a sore thumb. Did not fit the old-manila style at all. Hopefully, the newer administrations will lean towards more preservation and restoration
It isn't great, but in the video there were at least some buildings that look restored or looked historical. I totally agree that it's mindboggling why the government hates rebuilding the old buildings of the past. It deserves a lot more respect than people give credit for. Literally our own style of architecture. I can speak with some of our structures before the west came and influenced the country, but the buildings from the 1500s-1900s were an examples of Filipino style building that had some Western and East Asian influence. These government clowns and people think the buildings that replace these structures like these cheap malls means more than buildings the ancestors built in their own way.

San Agustin Church lang ang legit na istruktura na nakaligtas sa Intramuros maliban sa mga pader, pero kahit ito may mga parte na reconstruction nalang din. The rest pure reconstruction nalang, mali pa.. Still, kudos sa Intramuros administration for trying to replicate the once beautiful original city of Manila.
Intramuros is beautiful. I hope they will improve the landscaping of plants. More Trees and flowers. I suggest to fixed the wirings because it blocks the view and they need renovate the walkways God bless. Thank you
@52:57 yep, that’s my school right over there. The contruction beside the school used to be a McDonalds back in the mid 90’s and there was this small restaurant named “Knights” where we always hangout.
As usual, those electric spaghetti wires are sore eyes not only in Intramuros but in the entire Manila. Hope those modernist buildings inside Intramuros be renovated and make it like bahay na bato style like what they did in some European cities ravaged by the war. Likewise, the informal settlers inside the Intramuros be relocated to other places in Metro Manila or elsewhere in the province so it will attract more local and foreign tourists. Likewise all those pedicabs be replaced with more traditional caretelas. Hope Intramuros Administration be funded more to further beautify the famous Intramuros
O kay Tamis! May magsing-Irog pa na nakaupo sa pasamano ng Simbahan ng San Agustin! Napaka Romantic. Makauwi at maka Bisita na po sana Father God. Ako po ay Batang Maynila.
It is ironic that this is the first time I have taken a virtual tour of Intramuros even though I could have toured it anytime when I was still studying at Mapua over 30 years ago.
Source Wikipedia: ' (Latin for "within the walls") is the 0.67-square-kilometer (0.26 sq mi) historic walled area within the city of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. It is administered by the Intramuros Administration with the help of the city government of Manila.
They should only allow Kalesas and 2 wheeled vehicles there... cobblestone streets are better and they should restore those old infrastructure.. Wires are eyesores why not remove them. They shouldn't allow Tricycles and jeepneys aswell.. and other kind of platforms hanging in streets
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO SEE WITH AN OLD BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BUILDINGS. HOPEFULLY THE PHILIPPINE HERITAGE AUTHORITY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM AND INVIRONMENT WILL DO SOMETHING TO REMOVE THOSE EYES SOURING ELECTRICAL WIRING HANGING AROUND THAT PLACES SO IT WILL LOOK MORE BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN AND WELL ORGANISED.
tourism at city managers, sana po lalo pa po nating pag tuunan ng pansin ang intramuros. pagandahin at panatiliing malinis sa paningin para maging tourist attraction.walang motorize vehicle na papasukin para ma manitain ang gusali at lugar. modernong kalesa dapat para maiba ang ambiance. ang laki na po ng pagbabago mula noong huling pasyal namin.sorry po pero may mga lugar na mabaho at nakakatakot pasukin.maraming salamat sa pagmamalasakit , tourism at city manager mabuhay po kayo !!!!
Nannawagan ako sa Intramuros Administration na sana e.demolished nla ung mga barong2x at e.relocate ang mga squatters jan.Nkkahiya sa mga turista. Sana tayuan ng mga bahay na bato na parang sa Vigan sa may bndang squatter area para dagdag attraction.
Good news, the current mayor is building in-city vertical and horizontal housing within Manila. In due time they will be relocated to these housing projects.
I toured this place on my own some time in 2015. But because it was hot and sunny ("tanghaling tapat"), I decided to hire a pedicab driver for P500, taking me from one museum to another, baluarte to baluarte (10 places all in all including his waiting time). Don't know if it's cheap or expensive but it was worthwhile.
We took a kalesa from Luneta ending up in my old school Mapua and boarding house and paid P4.800. I thought the tour and time he spent with us is worth a million bucks!

I hope the city can get more funding to remove the overhead wires in both Intramuros and Binondo (Chinatown) and encourage pedestrian shopping streets like in Europe. It's already been done quite successfully in Bonifacio High Street.
N’ escolta
True, they should make those overhead wires in the whole Intramuros and also do more brick roads as well on all small streets. They also have to relocate informal settlers and make sure all the buildings will follow the building code and architecture for Intramuros. I think best they have to remove the old mall inside Intramuros that uses bland 60's architecture and don't follow the Colonial and Bahay-na-Bato architecture.
I know the city quite well, having gone to school there myself. It would be very difficult to remove the slums when they provide politicians with votes during elections. There have been some improvements, but still leaves much to be desired.
I would still like to see the removal of the Torre de Manila, however. But it's starting to seem more and more unlikely due to the lack of support and political will.
Di pwede sa underground kasi binabaha..
Things to do to improve Intramuros:
1. Remove the squatters
2. Put those ugly wires underground
3. Ban tricycles, padyaks and jeepneys and instead revive the tram system that goes around Intramuros.
4. Prohibit road side parking
5. Widen the sidewalk with cobblestone for an old city vibe.
And there you go, Intramuros will be alive again and it will attract more tourists. So many opportunities wasted with this wonderful historical place.
fix the sidewalks and paint them. such useless slow to move officials in the PHilippines. They even have an intramuros council but never does anything.
@My Estudyo people have been saying that for fifty years.
3. ...and motorcycles as well, sobrang ingay bomba pa ng bomba hahaha
Well what happened to Iskomunista Jomagoso Moreno’s fervent frenzy of besutifying Manila?
Election fever got to him so these urban settlers suddenly became untouchable equating to votes is it?
Ditto.
Intramuros can never fully replicate what the city used to look like in the past, but I believe the area can be so much better than what it is now. The area is still not bad and nice compared to other areas in the city. You have the Fort, Churches, museums, and while some of the old style buildings might not be the best restorations, it isn't bad.
If they can just try to invest better in this area and spark a better life, that's all you can ask for. I don't think you can move the residential areas there which I totally understand, but hopefully some of the modernist buildings can be removed and replaced to bahay na bato style. I also would love if that Golf club that occupies a great amount of Green space could be converted to a park and areas can just simply be clean with good places to walk, shop, hangout, and eat.
Only the Intramuros Walls, fort santiago walls and San Agustin church is authentic survived the War the rest was Flattened by American shelling, all old style buildings were only built started in 1980
They should relocate those people who are living in shanties to make this walled city superb
That golf course needs relocating out to the ocean.
Then return ot to a nice colour ful park with lots of flowers and small trees. The park would then become a place for locals and tourists to relax whilst exploring the surroundings.
The Philippines is truly the "melting pot" of the world. It is a combination of Filipino, American, European and Asian heritage. From the hi-tech modern metropolis of BGC, to the most rural & indigenous provinces of Batanes or Ifugao, the Philippines is the most diverse country on Earth. The most talented too hehe ♥️🇵🇭
And their food. They have amazing food. 😭❤

Lol europe in your dream base in the video hahaah its a cap
its like mumbai india not eroupe
Europe?!? This looks like a Latin American town.
We went to Intramuros early 2019! If only those slums and spaghetti wires would be removed... sad.
Intramuros is beautiful, full of history. We should look to Boston for examples on how to care and preserve historical sites. This place has amazing potential. A gem to be polished. They should charge people for parking and use the proceeds to improve the area.
Btw, that golf course is a slap in the face to all Filipinos. That area should be a walking and biking trail where people can picnic and enjoy the walls from outside.
Intramuros is one place to try once we can travel again to the Philippines. ✌🤩👍
Make Intramuros car-free. That's so obvious.
Nice, driven by the gate, in 1987, now I get to see inside!
Intramuros & Fort Santiago Historical Places 💙❤️
I hope they can fix the wires there also this is unlikely and not feasible but it nice to see less modern cars in Intramuros.....maybe it would be better if they only allowed kalesas or bikes in there to really look European. And of course keeping the streets really clean will always be nice. Great video, I loved it!

Hello from California! Thanks for bringing back memories of my college years at Mapua (BSEE74) and stay at a nearby boarding house.
Very beautiful old and historic city of Manila, it is the greatest joy of the city! Very good video !
Comfort place ko dati ang intramuros nung akoy istudyante sa manila. Everytime na sobrang stress ko sa school dyan lang ako nag lalakad lakad at tumatambay nag mumuni. Nakakamiss ang intramuros😍😍😍
Appreciate the effort of walking for hours for people to enjoy this. I'm a graduate of Mapua batch '99 and missed seeing this place. Thanks!
Thank you so much showing Mapua University i got teary eyed as i remember walking the street of Intramuros with my father he used to work in Mapua. This time i will be walking along with my children and my father in my locket i miss Philippines 🥲
Thank you for sharing 😃
They really should start implementing underground pathways for those electric lines, it kills the atmosphere of being in a time of old colonial Manila.
But the risk will be high as manila is known for floods. Fix the sewage system first i guess.
@@seungcheolcreditcard6789 whaT? fix sewage maybe fix trhe people LOL
@@No-Pressure-Only-Results thats a different story. Some areas of manila are low which is prone in flooding thats why underground electric lines cant do here and manila is also have fault lines which is very risky when earthquake happens. Its not all about peoole tho lol
If the electric wires will be placed underground, Intramuros will be like a European City.
Facts yow
If only Intramourous undergrounds their cables, and Escolta cleans/ rehab/Underground cables/make old looking bldgs. Manila would be a very Unique city. It can be the only Metro that the capital is the name of the Metro and the capital itself’s vibe is different from the surrounding modern cities
@@volume_02 I agree. And the only city in asia with spanish culture.
@@mrtnjss Cebu city is the only city that sustains spaniard culture. As a cebuana i find Luzon especially Manila looks like an Old China town, old new york or looks like 70s in tokyo. There are so many Chinese languages everywhere in manila even the street names, or if not american last names such as John St.
@@iceinducer9528 I agree, but I come from Zamboanga City , a city that speaks broken spanish language that is chavacano and also we practice spanish culture such as cuisines and lifestyle. And I think Zamboanga has more spaniard culture than Cebu.
This video is excellent! Thank you so much! I've been to Manila a few times but never had the chance to come here! Salamat Po
You're welcome, Victor! Thank you for watching!
I am literally and physically feeling the yearning and craving to go out and explore the city again. I have always fancied a solitary walking tour of the Walled City of Intramuros. Your video is practically making me cry.... I really want to go out again
The old buildings look stunning...thank you for sharing
I visited some of these places in 2019 and I have to say that they were really beautiful. I really like the unique atmosphere, you cannot experience this in other Asian countries. Just that I was scammed by the tricycle drivers at San Agustin Church, so I avoid looking back at the photos because it reminded me of how stupid I was hahaha. But I definitely want to visit these places again!
Just walk around na lang, hahhaha..
53:11 Colegio de San Juan de Letran! The school i went to when i lived in the Philippines it's still standing! It was established in 1620 at the same location in intramuros.
19:50 The best view of the building looking up
Great walking tour, my friend! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing and have fun
ang ganda naman talaga ng intrmuros
Proud taga intramuros🙌🤘
I like Intramuros, my favorite place in the city of Manila. The squatters area is an eye soar. Hopefully, the informal settlers will be relocated outside of Intramuros though.
Minsan talaga naiisip ko mag politika dahil gusto kong tanggalin lahat ng squatter sa buong bansa. Sana naman bigyan pansin ng gobyerno yung mga squatter, sakit sa mata nila makita. Pati sana ibalik na ang mga sidewalk kasi wala ng malakaran mga tao dito. Kung may pera ang gobyerno para sa pagpapaganda ng manila bay, dapat kaya din nilang ilipat yung mga informal settlers at tanggalin lahat ng mga squatter
@@ronald2795 Brad sang-ayon ako jan, talagang importante ang pagpapaganda ng Maynila PERO importante din na irelocate ang mga squatter dahil mas may control ang gobyerno sa kanila kung nasa pag-aari sila ng mga awtoridad. Doon mas kaya nilang pigilan ang pag overpopulate nila pero kung nasa slums pa rin sila? Malabo mangyari yun kaya dapat isa yan sa prayoridad na gawin ng mga gobyerno. Mas mapapadali rin ang pagpapaganda ng bansa kung walang mga squatter.
@@noc805 mga taga probinsya mga yan Iilan na lang ang orihinal na taga maynila dahil maraming namatay noong world war two.Sana mapatupad yung balik probinsya tapos huwag na huwag na sila magpapastay ng walang bahay sa manila.
Good news, the current mayor is building in-city vertical and horizontal housing within Manila. In due time they will be relocated to these housing projects.
Meyor Isko, you made Kartilya beautiful again. Can you do it to Intramuros, for the sake of the Filipino heritage?
Ganda ng
Intramuros naalala ko ang lola ko nong maliit pa ko nagpupunta kami jan 65 nako ngayon thankyou po
When i heard intramuros i remember my college life 😭 i remember we are always exploring intramuros after class
Sana bumalik panahon dati hayys mas maganda pilipinas nuon😍
Thank you for the tour I have not been home for almost 20 years,profound memories of my native land.
I went there during my 2019 field trip. I was always fascinated by Intramuros when I first learned about it in school. Nevertheless, I was amazed on how beautiful Intramuros looked (apart from the slums and overhead wires). I wish that the whole area is preserved and renovated to atleast keep the old “Spanish Vibes” alive.
If you see a Doric or Ionian column of an old building structure that must be a Spanish inspired Architecture but are very rare today in the Philippines for many of the old buildings were destroyed during WWII.
Intramuros is almost like a faded crown. Much of the luster and grandeur it once held in the prewar era was lost to war and modernization. A shame the Filipinos did not restore it like in Europe.
Last time I was there, there were modern-styled buildings erected inside Intramuros that stuck out like a sore thumb. Did not fit the old-manila style at all. Hopefully, the newer administrations will lean towards more preservation and restoration
maybe the modern buildings can refacade their buildings
It isn't great, but in the video there were at least some buildings that look restored or looked historical. I totally agree that it's mindboggling why the government hates rebuilding the old buildings of the past.
It deserves a lot more respect than people give credit for. Literally our own style of architecture. I can speak with some of our structures before the west came and influenced the country, but the buildings from the 1500s-1900s were an examples of Filipino style building that had some Western and East Asian influence.
These government clowns and people think the buildings that replace these structures like these cheap malls means more than buildings the ancestors built in their own way.
Ang ganda parang sa españa ka talaga parang nasa lumang panahon buti napreserve Nila di mo na kailangan pumunta sa Europe 😍❤️
thank you for doing this. excited for more places to tour 🤩
Amazing video, thank you very much
Maganda kuha mo brad hindi mo minamadali we can absorb every view of Intramuros maraming salamat.
Thank you for the comment, Mark! 😃
I Really Miss Intramuros....T.Y. for Posting 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow ngayon ko lang nakita ang buong intramuros through video. Hahaha hirap maging probinsyano pag napadpad dyan. Thank you for this video.
thank you for sharing♥️🙏
thank you for sharing ingat po and God bless
naalala ko unang field trip namin nung grade iv or v dyan kami nag punta tapos luneta

this is what you call a quality walk!! so awesome!!
Very Clean
I miss wondering around of intramuros i miss visiting that place soon will go there again
Very Beautiful Intramuros!
🇩🇪🇵🇭 My Favorite Windows Shopping Intramuros Manila Ancestral Houses Historical Two Churches Manila Cathedral And San Agustine Church Maraming Agencies Abroad May Manning And Land Abroad Puwede Mamasyal Sa Fort Santiago Makikita Muna Ang Loop Like Ko Kahawig To Me Si Gat DR Jose Rizal Wika Pambansang Ang Gamit Ko Salita Bayan Ko Sinilangan Antas Na Pureza Kalye At Ako Ay Maynilenyo Ako Ay Pilipino 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Your videos always provide a feeling of serenity and escape.
Thank you very much for this moment.
Merci ! 😁
San Agustin Church lang ang legit na istruktura na nakaligtas sa Intramuros maliban sa mga pader, pero kahit ito may mga parte na reconstruction nalang din. The rest pure reconstruction nalang, mali pa.. Still, kudos sa Intramuros administration for trying to replicate the once beautiful original city of Manila.
Intramuros is beautiful. I hope they will improve the landscaping of plants. More Trees and flowers. I suggest to fixed the wirings because it blocks the view and they need renovate the walkways
God bless. Thank you
That beautiful Spanish architecture 😍
I dunno why but I really love Intramuros.
Unforgettable place where my daughter Finished her MD DEGREE AT pamantSan ng Maynila. Love it
Great historical place!! Thanks for sharing!:)
@52:57 yep, that’s my school right over there. The contruction beside the school used to be a McDonalds back in the mid 90’s and there was this small restaurant named “Knights” where we always hangout.
Letranista!!! Class of 1980!
You videos are awesome. Look so good on my OLED TV
As usual, those electric spaghetti wires are sore eyes not only in Intramuros but in the entire Manila. Hope those modernist buildings inside Intramuros be renovated and make it like bahay na bato style like what they did in some European cities ravaged by the war. Likewise, the informal settlers inside the Intramuros be relocated to other places in Metro Manila or elsewhere in the province so it will attract more local and foreign tourists. Likewise all those pedicabs be replaced with more traditional caretelas. Hope Intramuros Administration be funded more to further beautify the famous Intramuros
Bahain nga kasi maynila.. di pwede i underground yan.. kay mamamatay lahat ng tao
O kay Tamis! May magsing-Irog pa na nakaupo sa pasamano ng Simbahan ng San Agustin! Napaka Romantic. Makauwi at maka Bisita na po sana Father God. Ako po ay Batang Maynila.
Beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Napakaganda ng place , maraming salamat sa tour
Estou por aqui asirtindo tudo 100%💞👍
Wow! Beautiful Spanish architecture atound Intramuros.
wow angganda nadyan
Ganda pala ng Itramoros khit sa utube ko lang nkita para narin akong nagtour salamat sir fern sa blag mo nkita ko rin ang Intramoros
It is ironic that this is the first time I have taken a virtual tour of Intramuros even though I could have toured it anytime when I was still studying at Mapua over 30 years ago.
very great walking tour .
thank for sharing my friend .
when i am in elementari i will visited this place thank you for sharing this video my friend from 4k walking in the city of rome italy
Source Wikipedia: ' (Latin for "within the walls") is the 0.67-square-kilometer (0.26 sq mi) historic walled area within the city of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. It is administered by the Intramuros Administration with the help of the city government of Manila.
Thank you so much. God bless.
babalik ako dito sa comment section kapag nakapasyal na ako diyan. for now, yt muna hahaha
so beautiful here
Nice work, especially the close up detailing! 😁👍🏼
Marami pa sana tayong ganyang mga bahay kung hindi lang pinagsisira ng mga Japanese nung world war II
True. Tulad na siguro tayo ng European countries lalo na't 3 century tayong hawak ng espanyol
Great walk tour on the historic walled Intramuros. Never been there. Tnx 4sharing.
I want to run. This is an amazing walking video. 😍👍
Thank you ! Really made us have a tour of Intramuros. Sana a little more time when there’s info to read. Thanks again.
Thank you for filming. These are the best quality videos.
Thank you for the comment, Russell!
aaah, the sights and sounds, no bull.
Beautiful Intramuros❤. Looks like in Europe❤
They should only allow Kalesas and 2 wheeled vehicles there... cobblestone streets are better and they should restore those old infrastructure.. Wires are eyesores why not remove them.
They shouldn't allow Tricycles and jeepneys aswell.. and other kind of platforms hanging in streets
Fantastic job! Really brilliant!
It's a wonderful city
Thank you for uploading the video
Have a good day my friend 💜
Sana maging mas pedestrian friendly pa ang intramuros . Some of the buildings needs to be restored.
wow grabe jan nakakaiyak ang historical place na yan... Salamat brother sa video it is heartwarming sobrang appreciated...
Thank you sir! :)
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO SEE WITH AN OLD BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BUILDINGS. HOPEFULLY THE PHILIPPINE HERITAGE AUTHORITY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM AND INVIRONMENT WILL DO SOMETHING TO REMOVE THOSE EYES SOURING ELECTRICAL WIRING HANGING AROUND THAT PLACES SO IT WILL LOOK MORE BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN AND WELL ORGANISED.
Sana marelocate na ang mga squaters sa loob ng intramuros😕
tourism at city managers, sana po lalo pa po nating pag tuunan ng pansin ang intramuros. pagandahin at panatiliing malinis sa paningin para maging tourist attraction.walang motorize vehicle na papasukin para ma manitain ang gusali at lugar. modernong kalesa dapat para maiba ang ambiance. ang laki na po ng pagbabago mula noong huling pasyal namin.sorry po pero may mga lugar na mabaho at nakakatakot pasukin.maraming salamat sa pagmamalasakit , tourism at city manager mabuhay po kayo !!!!
Nannawagan ako sa Intramuros Administration na sana e.demolished nla ung mga barong2x at e.relocate ang mga squatters jan.Nkkahiya sa mga turista. Sana tayuan ng mga bahay na bato na parang sa Vigan sa may bndang squatter area para dagdag attraction.
Good news, the current mayor is building in-city vertical and horizontal housing within Manila. In due time they will be relocated to these housing projects.
ganda ng pinas malinis ata
Yes nice views
I toured this place on my own some time in 2015. But because it was hot and sunny ("tanghaling tapat"), I decided to hire a pedicab driver for P500, taking me from one museum to another, baluarte to baluarte (10 places all in all including his waiting time). Don't know if it's cheap or expensive but it was worthwhile.
if it's worthwhile to you, then it was a fair price. don't know why you're so worried about the fare, esp. if you're balikbayan.
We took a kalesa from Luneta ending up in my old school Mapua and boarding house and paid P4.800. I thought the tour and time he spent with us is worth a million bucks!
