oh my God! My heart bleeds seeing this lovely city na ganyan pala kaganda at kalinis dati. Tama po kayo, mas ma-swerte kayo kasi nakita nyo ang bansa natin sa ganyang kalagaya n.

Wow…You have a wonderful blog here.
My two cents… I am thinking of this idea called city-norms. I think the city during this decade was still predominated by the Tagalog-speaking Filipinos who had their own idea and attitude towards their city. Since the agricultural countrysides had been gradually abandoned for lack of development, the non-Tagalog speakers gradually migrated to the city starting this process of urban migration. The introduction of sub-culture from other ethnic groups created alienation. It introduced a new set of norms and behavior not usually belonging to the original people of the city. Along with the process comes squatting, unemployment, ethnic-animosities and so on. I think the process still continues up to present creating this city of contrast and decadence…Of course I might be wrong.

My heart longs for those days I never saw–I was born during the 70′s,when Manila was beginning to get too crowded. Those beautiful buildings–and clean streets,devoid of grime,street urchins and pollution–you truly must be very proud to be a Manilan during tose days. If I can travel back in time,I’d pick the 1950′s to the 1960′s so I could stroll in Manila’s lovely streets.
