I have started this blog, since Iám really fascinated with my old Manila, the place where I grew up and still living. Pictures seen here are gathered throughout the rich resources of the internet and I couldn't trace the origin of some of the pictures. I should say most came from various universities and libraries (US Library of Congress & University of Wisconsin, and more) abroad. Enjoy your explorations!
