yes I just found this in internet. That's how powerful internet is.  :D

Di ko rin naabutan iyan pero I remember my uncle sharing stories that teenagers are still swimming in Pasig River & Manila Bay because its still clean and fresh. Maraming nga puno ng Nilad kaya daw tinawag na Maynila / Manila kasi "may nilad"

Mr.Yos0

diba city hall yung nasa pic na yun?.. diba yung escolta pagtawid pa yun ng ilog..


nakakainggit yung maynila noon.

There were no double parking allowed and drivers followed.  Streets didn't have 2 policemen and 4 Traffic Aides for each corner.  You'd be safe even if you held a clutch bag while shopping. Manholes were covered well and during those days, I remember them....as clean and polished, much like those you'd see in Champ Elysee'.  We could beat Paris .  Ang ganda ng bayan natin noon.

Kailan kaya ito? Bakit wala yung Savory Chicken and the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Arch. Parang ever since na nagkamalay ako nandun na mga yun.

^ Same. Pagbaba ko ng Jones Bridge ay may malaking Savory na talaga, tapos sa left ay may welcoming arch to Chinatown. At least, nasisiguro natin na mas matanda nga si pb satin.  :D

kapabayaan ng mga taong naka upo sa pamahalaan ang may kasalanan nito..

sasabihin nila lahat nagbabago pero bakit di maganda ang nangyari sa mga pagbabago ginawa nila

isa lang naman nagbago eh.. from rags to riches

eLgimiker0

totoo ba na mas maganda ang economy dati compare ngayon?

panahon ni marcos

accdg to a singaporean bussiness man: philippines daw ang one of the leading country in ASIA kaya ginawa inspirasyon ng other countries ang PINAS

Sabi ng mother ko dati maganda daw talaga ang Manila noon maraming neon lights sa gabi.
Tapos pag nakatapak ka daw sa Escolta big time ka na.
