    1930s was the Golden Era of the Philippines. Manila along with Shanghai managed to evade the ravages of the Depression and thrived. With the rising nationalism and the promise of independence came pride and Filipinos wanted to compete and show it to the world. Men and women dressed to the nines. Filipino high end society flourished. Manila had a distinguished cafe culture. Commonwealth infrastructure projects were grand and elegant. It was the height of Philippine society. Then WWII came....

    It's not WW2, it's not the colonizers, its not the corrupt politicians... It's the Filipino value. Long gone with the glory that is Philippines... We have to realize that Pinoy "Pride" is crushing our society.
    As a young professional, I realized Philippines is the worst place for an intellectual to be born in because Filipinos do not reward excellence, they denounce it because on their innate stubbornness.. Brain Drain is not an issue, in fact, it was never an issue. It was their superiority complex. They seek recognition, and yet they don't work for it. They live a lifestyle they can't afford. They demand change and yet they defy it. And its always gonna' be someone else's fault. Not theirs.

      @Lt. Pyukumuku No, not at all. I speak from a YEARS of personal experience. Filipinos don't INTEND to be rude, but their actions usually are in these areas.
      1) Try to place an order at Jollibee. If you give more than two inches of space between yourself and the persons in front of you, someone will cut in line.
      2) Ask PLDT to repair their service. If they take more than a month to restore your service, try to skip paying your bill citing the idea that they should provide service before you pay even more. They'll insist that you pay every month until they fix the service - then they'll give you a credit for the MONTHS of time without service.
      These are just two recurrent examples of how their ACTIONS are rude. All the while, they will be extremely polite and apologetic.

If Manila will have fewer people how much is the budget proposal for politicians to play in that area? Even the former president ran for Manila city mayor. The port of manila is a big customs area and juicy place for salivating politicians.

    Never too late to rebuild, redevelop and restore. We shouldn't blame World War II nor the Spaniards, Japanese or the Americans. If Warsaw was able to reconstruct, why not Manila? Nobody to blame but ourselves. Reparations (money/materials/manpower) poured into the Philippines right after the war with the Burnham Plan intact for us to follow but we Filipinos chose the selfish path. But never lose hope. I still think Manila will someday become "the Queen of the Pacific"...again :)

      With all seriousness ancient Manila or Maynila as it is properly pronounced was already a prominent city long before the colonization of the Spanish, it was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Tondo... hence why a district in Manila is called Tondo... Date of establishment is unknown but the oldest record mentioning a date is the Laguna copperplate inscription (which is a receipt by the way) and the date was calculated to be either from the 9th to 10 century A.D. so Manila is pretty old.
      Spanish paintings in the Boxer Codex depicts the inhabitants of the various native kingdoms of the Philippines including Tondo (prior to colonization)... this photos also include some of the ancient gold artifacts discoverd in the archipelago.

  • @lui1673

    This was a pre-war Manila. Manila was severely devastated during World War II (one of the most damaged cities during the war). Then poor urban planning in an effort to hasten the rehabilitation took place. The spike in the population after the war clogged the city. To make things worse, the relocation of poor rural settlers flocked the city in their desperation to escape extreme poverty. Moreover, corrupt government and undisciplined citizens (you and me, let's admit) worsen the situation. Hoping we can rebuild our beautiful nation once more.

I believe that the Philippines can regain it's prestige and opulence it once had. Unfortunately, it will be VERY difficult. It will need a solid governance. A strict president just isn't enough. Mayors, senators, congressman, etc. should all be in the same boat in wanting change. Also, ALOT of the big business people in the Philippines aren't Filipino. That's also a problem because all they care about is money. They don't care about the country. I am hopeful that one day, Philippines regains it's status it once had. Fellow Filipinos, please do your part as well.

In fact, the only reason why Manila even survived was because of trade from the Chinese. And don't forget Japan. Japan also had more technologically advanced cities and more population at that time. The time when Manila was called the pearl of the orient was when Global trade happened. When Mexico, Madrid and Manila were connected in trade. This made Manila a very advanced and rich city, even richer and advanced than any Qing Dynasty and Japan Cities.

      Too bad I can not speak and write Tagalog properly.
      During the battle for the liberation of Manila the Japanese do not have anymore air power. 98% of Japanese air power has already been destroyed by the Americans in the Battle of Leyte Gulf dubbed as the greatest sea battle in history. On the other hand the Americans have a most superior air power over the Japanese since nkabawi na sila after the bombing of Pearl Harbor more than 4 years earlier. The Japanese had superior armed forces INSIDE MANILA and they went on a killing ang raping rampage of the civilians. Desperado ang Japanese army. They were already suicidal. So the Americans bombed Manila to flush out the Japanese since wala na naman pambobomba ang mga soldados na Japones.
      True the Japanese went on an orgy of killing and raping but the destruction of buildings were left more on the hands of the Americans. Manila was the 2nd most devastated city in WW2 killing more than a hundred thousand civilians. The killings and massacres were more by the Japanese but the bombing and destruction was mainly by the Americans who in the process of bombings also killed several thousand civilians.
      Do not rely on UTube as the Americans relied later on propaganda to make up for their senseless destruction of Manila. My source are books that were published by American press like TIME and NEWSWEEK. No. Not the magazines but their compiled stories that were released to their subscribers. You can also check other history books.

    Truly worth watching and worth remembering the past.. Who would've thought a highly progressive and formal city will be torn down.?? :-(

    Everyone would be happy if this was colored like many old documentaries.

    I wonder how it feels to live in that year. Because in this 21st century. The old traditions of the Philippines are slowly fading because of the new technologies. The crimes are still shocking but it always/sometimes or mostly happens in 21st century. And the poverty has already reached the level of it. It keeps on increasing in every year.
    I feel sad after watching this video. Seeing the past of our country. It was beautiful.
