pek!! wish u were here "un ang naisip ko nung nakita ko to


Quiapo Church

Basilica of San Sebastian, Manila



the first prefabricated building in the world, and more plausibly claimed as the only prefabricated steel church in the world .
amazing


the basilica's central nave is twelve meters from the floor to the dome, and thirty-two meters to the tip of the spires.

shhhhh
1893
1898
Mendiola




Malate Church



Roxas Blvrd


Philippine International Convention Center






Last Stop For DAY1 The Manila Film Center

number 5 sa Top 10 Scariest Spots in Metro Manila they said This Film Center must be one of the country’s biggest urban legends ever,Ang tahimik ng paligid inikot namen ang buong building pretty scary pag sumilip ka sa bintana sa likod my mga hagdan na tinakpan at hinarangan i have no idea anong meron dun trust me it's scary*- Legend has it that hundreds of workers were buried alive in the Parthenon-like Manila Film Center after the upper floor collapsed in 1981. The construction of Former First Lady Imelda Marcos’ “palace” was rushed to make it in time for the 1982 Manila International Film Festival. It is said that only a few workers were saved from the rubble and Marcos ordered cement to be poured over the bodies to meet her deadline. Some say that the ghosts of the workers haunt the building and still seek justice.. [from spot]

Manila Central Post Office

old musty but not falling apart ☺
mr. postman




ate guard telling some momoo stories
old elevator 50 years bago dumating hehe


stairs

designed by Filipino architect Juan Marcos de Guzman Arellano, the post office building was built in neoclassical architecture in 1926.It was severely damaged in World War II, and rebuilt in 1946 preserving most of its original design.
lock box
a lock box also gives you an additional measure of security, as you are not releasing your specific residence address.






pictures inside the post office was taken on the second day ☺
Binondo China Town






inikot namen to ng puro ngiti sa pisngi ko haha i kept on asking ralph were are we ?? china hahah

Binondo Church


prior to Makati Binondo was the main center for business and finance in Manila for the Chinese, Chinese mestizos and Spanish Filipinos.

while walking i heard a little voice said " kuya pa picture


Binondo is also famous for its imitation of a small Chinese town which is locally called "China Town"


Intramuros



built by the Spaniards in the 16th century and is the oldest district of the city of Manila



Casa Manila


wall art





Plaza de la Fuerza
Manila Cathedral









Ayuntamiento (Seat of Old Manila City Council), Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
Severely damaged in the earthquakes of 1645 and 1658. Demolished to make way for new building. Second building constructed in 1735. Destroyed in 1863 earthquake.

A statue of Queen Isabela II at the entrance of Puerta Isabela II

Intra-muros, literally "within the walls", meaning within the wall enclosure of the city/fortress, describes its structure as it is surrounded by thick, high walls & moats. During the Spanish colonial period (1571-1898), Intramuros was Manila itself.

  18. Hi itsyaboykorki. I'm not sure if you'll gonna see this, but I'm posting anyway. I am a UPLB student and I'm writing a feature story on the Manila Film Center. I can't go back in there to take photos anymore, so I'm asking you if I can use your photos of MFC that I can credit to your name. (uhm, please?)

    Thank you and God bless!
