I wonder what’s the color and smell of the water in Pasig River at that time. The only objects that’re still visible in the river today are those floating water-plants.

Then & Now - Escolta

This was Escolta after the liberation of Manila in 1945. These buildings were burned during the war.

Sixty three years later, the Perez-Samanillo and the Burke Buildings are still standing proud in the entrance of this historic street.
