(Most of the pictures were grab from the web)
Just want to share how was tha capital of Manila then that why it was called pearl of the orient.
It was a big lost to Philippine architecture when most of this structures were ever completely damage or gone during the liberation of Manila.
Manila has one of the best architectural buildings, no wonder it was even compared the Paris of Asia.
