Wow, the architectural manifestation of CCP still doesnt fade, ang ganda pa rin. Simplicity is the key.

you gotta love manila :]

Cristovão471 · August 19th, 2006, 01:04 PM

When I went in 2004 I stayed at The old Manila Hotel, it's so beautiful. I love Manila, there's so much happening and I love the Makati city. Manila Bay Was nice, but poluted.
From actual being in the city the only bad thing is the air pollution, but I love philipine people aswell, very kind. My room was over looking trhe golf course next to Rizal Park.

cello1974 · August 19th, 2006, 03:04 PM

Wow! Great pics! This city looks good!!!

Wonderful photos guys. Let's always try to label and give a short description for every photo posted so that our foreign guests would be guided on what we are posting and no one could say that posting all these is just to pull the post counts.

FASSE3 · August 19th, 2006, 04:43 PM

I like much skyline of Manila, mainly the building filinvest alabang. a greeting.

Kikab · August 20th, 2006, 01:57 AM

wow, Manila is booming and surprising. Every time I saw new pictures I find something new. Just a Question, are there some remaining buildings of the Spanish colonial period in the city, as we have in Latin America.

JustHorace · August 20th, 2006, 03:11 AM

I'll show you some more. The previous page already had pictures of San Agustin, Plaza Moriones, Fort Santiago, Calle Real, Estatua de Reina Isabela, and Jardin de Padre Blanco which all dated back to the Spanish colonial era. Manila Cathedral and Palacio del Gobernador were reconstructed after being destroyed in WWII.

San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila

Cristovão471 · August 20th, 2006, 03:05 PM

Intramuros did really feel like an old spanish town.

JustHorace · August 20th, 2006, 03:29 PM

Hope you enjoyed your visit here

There's another town north of Manila that's more flawless when it comes to Spanish colonial architecture. It's name is Vigan.

Here are pics of modern Manila
