Manila 1938

THIS is precious footage of Manila in 1938, before World War II wreaked havoc on the city. My parents have told me stories about their lives then, and how Manila looked, but I was very removed from their experience. Now I actually have an idea of what they had been talking about. Thanks Prandy for sending this video. (Happy birthday!)
