Memoirs Of Old Manila

This footage was taken during the Commonwealth era of the Philippines. This is the intact Insigne y Leal de la Ciudad de Manila or simply Intramuros. It is the heart of the Old Spanish Manila yet the culture within the fortification radiates beyond the bricked walls. The English language was at its dawn in the Philippines and Spanish was still currently spoken by the educated class. After it was bombarded in 1942 that marked the end of the heritage left by the glory of the Spanish Empire. A decline of the Spanish language was inevitable. Let's support the old city's restoration and bring back its glory. Funds can be generated but the covetous government officials whose minds are very far from heritage are difficult to fend off. ☺
