The Manila Central Post Office is the central post office of the city of Manila, Philippines. It is the head office of the Philippine Postal Corporation, and houses the country's main mail sorting-distribution operations.
Designed by Filipino architect Juan Marcos de Guzman Arellano, the post office building was built in neoclassical architecture in 1926. It was severely damaged in World War II, and rebuilt in 1946 preserving most of its original design.
It is located in the Intramuros district of the city, at the bank of the Pasig River. The front of the building faces the Liwasang Bonifacio plaza (now known as Plaza Lawton).
This is one of my favorite shots that I took in Manila every time that I have my own field trip there.
MANILA CITY HALL:
The Manila City Hall is one of the popular landmarks and the seat of power in the Philippines' capital. It was designed in Neo-Classical by Architect Antonio Toledo, and it was inaugurated in 1939, and 1941. Unfortunately, the building was one of the casualties of WWII. After the war, the building was one of the beneficiaries of the Philippine Rehabilitation Program of the Philippines and the United States to rebuild the devastated country. Over the years, the Manila City Hall is still standing, and still shows the face of the historical city.

Motor Tricycle Driver
Manila, Philippines
Taxi, tuk tuk, trishaw, rickshaw, moto ... these for-hire vehicles have a wide variety of names, depending on where you are in the world. In the Philippines, they are called Motor Tricycles.
Across the country, some drivers trick out their tricycles with neon, blue lights, blacklight, subwoofers and more to give nocturnal passengers a clubbing experience with their ride.

Let's Travel the World!
I've spent the past decade exploring our world; and documenting the journey in photos and stories. For all the latest updates, follow along on:

Manila Bay is a natural harbour which serves the Port of Manila (on Luzon), in the Philippines. Strategically located around the capital city of the Philippines, Manila Bay facilitated commerce and trade between the Philippines and its neighbouring countries,[1] becoming the gateway for socio-economic development even prior to Spanish occupation. With an area of 1,994 km2 (769.9 sq mi), and a coastline of 190 km (118.1 mi), Manila Bay is situated in the western part of Luzon and is bounded by Cavite and Metro Manila on the east, Bulacan and Pampanga on the north, and Bataan on the west and northwest.[2] Manila Bay drains approximately 17,000 km2 (6,563.7 sq mi) of watershed area, with the Pampanga River contributing about 49% of the freshwater influx. With an average depth of 17 m (55.8 ft), it is estimated to have a total volume of 28.9 billion cubic metres (28.9 cubic km). Entrance to the bay is 19 km (11.8 mi) wide and expands to a width of 48 km (29.8 mi). However, width of the bay varies from 22 km (13.7 mi) at its mouth and expanding to 60 km (37.3 mi) at its widest point.[2]
The islands of Corregidor and Caballo divides the entrance into two channels,[2] about 2 miles (3.2 km) towards the North and 6.5 miles (10.5 km) wide on the South side. Mariveles, in the province of Bataan, is an anchorage just inside the northern entrance and Sangley Point is the former location of Cavite Naval Base. On either side of the bay are volcanic peaks topped with tropical foliage: 40 km to the north is the Bataan Peninsula and to the south is the province of Cavite.
Across the entrance to Manila Bay are several islands, the largest of which is Corregidor, located 3 kilometres from Bataan and, along with the island of Caballo, separates the mouth of the bay into the North and South Channels. In the south channel is El Fraile Island and outside the entrance, and to the south, is Carabao Island. El Fraile, a rocky island some 4 acres (1.6 ha) in area, supports the massive concrete and steel ruins of Fort Drum, an island fortress constructed by the United States Army to defend the southern entrance of the bay. To the immediate north and south are additional harbors, upon which both local and international ports are situated. Large number of ships at the North and South harbors facilitate maritime activities in the bay.[1] Being smaller of the two harbors, the North Harbor is used for inter-island shipping while the South Harbor is used for large ocean-going vessels.[2]

Филиппини улсын нийслэл Манила хотын байрлах эрэг. Manila bay буюу Манилийн булан нь эртнээс түүх домогтой бөгөөд АНУ, Филиппиний усан цэргүүд Япончуудтай тэнгисийн ширүүн тулаан хийж ялалт байгуулсан нь аралын энэ улсын нэгэн суу алдар болдог. Тэнгисийн тулаанд буцалж байсан энэ эрэг дээр наран шингэхийг харах нь хүмүүсийн дурладаг зүйлийн нэг билээ.
Улаарах хүнд үүлс нь тэнгисийн дайныг дурсах мэт.

Manila and Roxas Blvd intersection in 1994. Scan of a Kodachrome slide from those days....the area in the top right is now the Mall of Asia, but back then was a huge squatter area slum next to Manila Bay. There is a famous story on how those people were moved out so that MOA could be built. Taken from the balcony of the Hyatt (now Midas) Hotel. I still remember - $105 a night and no hot water at 5AM in the morning when I had to prepare to go to the airport.
This is identified as “Manila, port area”, April 1968. This is wrong, the location and possibly the date also. Intramuros taken from the bell tower of the Manila Cathedral looking east towards Manila City Hall and the Legislative Building. On the upper left part of the picture notice the arches of the inside of Puerta d...el Parian gate and to the right of that Lyceum of the Philippines.
