The old Manila is beautiful! No traffic, no pollution, we have lots of trees, wide sidewalks, and no dirts. Stunning and very historical.
Beautiful, isn’t it? It’s simply breathtaking to look at. I heard that Manila used to be the most beautiful city in Asia during the 50’s till the 70’s.
It’s unbelievable that Manila used to look like this: clean, organized, less pollution, less traffic, more trees and fresh air, baroquely…
