A “screen travel” of Manila in the 1930s from what could be a rare film footage.  Could this really be Manila? The city streets look clean, Pasig River was a primary means of moving people and business… One wonders what sort of culture is needed to transform a city to what it is now.  Could this city transformation happen only in the Philippines?
