Where to go in Manila during the 1930s

Aren’t you curious about the old Manila during the early 20th century? That was the period of the Commonwealth Government (1935-1946). How fascinating must be the city during that time. I’m just wondering if the hotels or accommodation look like in Ortigas Pasig  that time? Let us travel back in time and see for ourselves the old city by watching this video from the Screen Traveler courtesy of the “travelfimarchive” from YouTube. Be amazed on how great the city that time and how it was transformed from Spanish colonial city into an American modernized city.


Nowadays, when you travel to Manila, all you can see is the towering skyscrapers and business establishments. Although some historical places were preserved, but most of the places were mainly modernized and very corporate.
