I love how all of this 1950's era postcards has that propaganda feel to it. Kinda reminds me of those NoKor propaganda billboards.

Very respectable talaga ng hitsura ng mga pilipino nung 50s and 60s. Look at the pic even the young girl wear socks, the adult women looks conservative and respectable. Di tulad ngayon ang mga bata puro uhog at libag, mga batang babae bihis pokpok. Walang self respect.

Amazing phils uses the english and spanish language simultaneously. Sana hanggang ngayon ganun pa ren. Di tulad ngayon many college student cant even form a simple english sentence, spelling is all wrong. Politicians insist on using tagalog as official language even if most pinoys uses a bastardized form of tagalog. While other countries are spending a lot of money for their citizens to learn english, our english capability is deteriorating very fast. In fact a person who speaks broken english is called a comedian on local tvs and movies. sigh

When I first went there, we couldn't even rent decent goggles for snorkeling, we rented one that was made out of wood from a fisherman.

And yeah, white beach used to have topless ladies.
