I remember very well how my dad would boast of his childhood days to me. His reminiscing of the good old days when he would play with his friends and "trolley" along the San Miguel Avenue fronting the Malacanang Palace. Him growing up in San Miguel and going to Pio Del Pilar Academy in Sta. Mesa and V. Mapa High School in Mendiola street.
His sweet recall of his childhood to teenage life story was truly infectious that I grew up dreaming that one day I would get to live and enjoy the scenes he enjoyed while growing. Sadly, my generation can only hope and dream of such lifestyle.
Thankfully, a colleague of mine who shares the same affection of the "Old Manila" showed me this video below. Manila before the WWII catastrophe!
If you can't get enough, visit Old Manila Nostalgia and Old Manila Walks.
