Manila in the ’60s
I just received these photos of Manila in the ’60s today. I just wanted to share it with all of you because I never saw Manila this way! The 60’s were the heyday of Manila! We were like the most advanced nation in Asia. We were on top of our game, so to speak! I am optimistic that this day will come again soon. We just have to get our acts together! Enjoy these photos of a time when life was simpler. Can anyone identify where the photos are? I am still trying to figure it out.
HUGS!
RAJO!
