Pinakamaganda sana ang Pilipinas sa buong Asia. May kakayahan ang talino ng mga Pilipino. Ang kurakot lang na gobierno ang nagsira. Sayang talaga.

ang husay ng presentation mo.from past to present.appreciated!

Ang galing kuya. I am really fascinated with old architectural buildings. Galing nag bago mo na platform . Pwede maging educational video sa mga kabataan para mamulat naman sila sa ating heritage.

MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS❤❤❤❤❤NAPAKA GANDA NG NAKARAAN PERO PWEDE PA NATING IBALIK NGAYON SA KASALUKUYAN... TULONG TULONG SA PAGSULONG MGA PILIPINO❤❤❤❤❤

Ang Escolta ang paboritong puntahan ng tatay namin noong 1970’s. Meron syang kaibigan na destista sa isang lumang building jaan. At jaan kami dinadala ng tatay namin para mag pa dentista. The good oldest. Na kaka miss ang panahon noon. Mabuti nalang May isang blogger na tulad mo para ipakita ulit ang mga nakaraan. Salamat sayo.

I have a picture with my Dad walking at Escolta in 1950s that's the only place my parents go and shop I'm proud that I had that experience

Great. Napakagandang ehemplo sa mga kabataan ang pag vlog ng mga ganito, yung mga gusali ng ating kasaysayan, lalo na sa mga Architecture at Engineering students pati na sa mga kumukuha ng History at sa lahat ng kabataang Pilipino Mabuhay tayong lahat! Sana ay huwag gibain ang mga gusaling ito.

I really hope they will renovate the Intramuros-Binondo-Escolta area.... And not only the buildings but the streets and plazas as well.

Hindi lang dapat tayo nagpe-preserve at nagre-restore, dapat 'pag magtatayo ang Maynila ng Buildings, dapat i-keep ang Neoclassical, Beaux and Art deco Architecture. I swear, Manila will be the most beautiful city that ever existed. ♥

Amazing Sir..ang ganda very historical more pa Sir!..

Great job... Ang ganda ng content... Keep safe..

In Escolta, my father bought my bicycles at Kairuz in the late 50’s. Rollfast was my first bicycle and years later my second one was a Columbia. Before those bikes,I had a red fire truck with a bell on the hood that was made in the USA also purchased at Kairuz. I enjoy window shopping at Syvel’s when I was an engineering student at Mapua Institute of Technology during 1963.

Grabeee.. halos araw araw pinapanood ko ang mga videon mo sir.sobrang nakakatuwa lahat ng mga vlog na ginagawa mo sir para kaming nakabaliks sa nakaraan everytime i watch ur vlog nakakapanghinayang sobra ang pilipinas kase ikumpara mo ngayon sobrang ibang iba..salamat po sa pagbabahagi mo saamin..more videos sir...SANA ONE OF THESE DAW MAIVLOG NYO DIN PO ANG TONDO.

Hi sir KYT good evening everyone grabe mga dekada ng mga buildings .demanong sewing machine mga lumang kagamitan,ung stair case sinauna pero maganda sosyal.damingg mga historical buildings sa maynila.marai pong salamat sa pag update sa mga old building sa maynila.ingat po lagi God Bless everyone

PNB bldg. dyn yung CCM or City College of Manila one of the first college schools in Manila na walang tuition fee na ipina gawa ng dating Mayor Alfredo Lim. dyan yung bldg. bago mag patayo ng isa pang bldg. si dating Mayor Lito Atienza sa may Mehan Garden at pinalitan ang pangalan ng eskwelahan bilang Unibersidad De Manila o UDM...at nung 2015 nga ay na sunog at pina giba na ni Mayor Erap ang PNB bldg. (magkanu kaya ang kinita nya dun?) ....makalipas ang ilang mga taon makikita mo talaga kung sino ang talagang may pagpapa halaga at pag mamahal sa ating mahal na lungsod tulad ng aming kasalukuyang amang lungsod Mayor Francisco "ISKO MORENO" Domagoso dahil sila ang mga tunay na Batang Maynila hindi yung gaya ng iba na walang pagpapa halaga ang importante ay kumita.

Thanks for sharing this videos ❤

A lot of these architectural buildings does still exists in major US Cities!! It’s just so funny the place where you toured where there was this circular staircase and you mentioned somekinda like the smell that has an Antique Historical place was a reminiscent of my previous office here in Chicago. Yes, we even have an elevator here that you have to open the metal door manually as if you have taken back in time. 😱😅😝😊That’s how the people here preserve the importance of history. And ESCOLTA should also be preserved as a remnants that has a great influence of American past!😱😝😊🥰

Thankyou for sharing this video,❤

I always look forward to your historical vlog of Manila, good job again

Thanks for sharing we definitely going to visit that museum.

When I visited Frankfurt, I was shocked to see buildings similar in architectureto Escolta buildings. Before the pandemic hit, my daughter and I used to walk around Escolta and enjoy the bustling new generation of entrepreneurs. Cafes, bazaars. Miss them all.

Dapat talaga I preserve at I restore Ang mga old structures for our heritage and deepen historical value.Thank you for the blog sir.

Ganun palakaganda Napa ka historical ang scolta. Thank you sa pag vlog mo into. More power sayo and more video.

I've been there few times in Escolta, my father was a Chinese and worked in Ongpin. I was always in Sta Cruz growing up going to movie in Ideal cinema as the usher who checked the ticket was my father's friend, cinema is gone already. I was always waiting for my father to meet in up in Avenida and did a lot of shopping with my father. Every time I was waiting for my father there were few call boys around and my father would say maraming bees around me. I had a happy memories of Chinatown and Avenida. The last time I was there was so dark because of the monorail and my favourite Ideal cinema was gone. Thank for showing some part of Escolta I didn't do much of looking around because i wasn't comfortable i guess because I was teenager at that time. I was just careful about the place. I wasn't familiar. I loved those beautiful memories with my very generous father who I was spoiled but of course, I didn't take advantage of his generosity we loved buying gold thing and LP music player. Thanks again for a wonderful memories you were showing in your channel.

I was a a poor probinsiyana, in 1954 to 1963, I studied in a Manila HS, at age 12, then on to college. I used to walk from Carrie do to escolta, stop at Santa Cruz church, just to watch people walk by, window shop, (. Can’t afford to buy anything then) I was not even interested in history and architecture of the building, but I was fascinated by the beauty, the size, the height of the building, now, I as I watch your blog, and so much older, I feel I missed so much and want to go back and appreciate more the beauty and history of our country. I love your blogs

It's really great to look back our historical places like Escolta, Binondo etc..Thanks so much for sharing💕

Sir mahusay tong video nyo na to. Will definitely wait for the next para mapanuod din

Matagal tagal na rin akong hinde nakapasyal diyan pag humupa na si pandemic maganda pa din ang lugar kahit may nahalo ng bagong ng modetn building thank you sa iyo God bless

Ang ganda ng presentation mo at marami me natutuhan particular n sa Manila. Noong dumating daw ang mga hapon nmangha daw cila sa ganda ng Manila. Kung hindi lang nsira noong WW II ang ganda sana ng Manila

Thank you for sharing our beautiful history, you have awakened so much memories and facts. More power to you and please continue to explore and share more historical sites!

I was born and grew up in Manila, now 67 years old, but I never knew anything nor seen these buildings. I spent most of my time in Makati where I worked. I am so fascinated at how historic some of the buildings are. I'm so glad I found your channel, I got to know more about my birthplace history before I get really very old and senile, thanks to you. Keep up the good work son. I'm proud of you.

I’m so thankful and thrilled to discover this documentary about the truly amazing place of the most memorable time in my “work life” - Escolta! My first job during and after college was with the Associated Banking Corporation (at ABC building which was directly right across the PNB building the construction of which I witnessed from the excavation of the ground until its completion). For four years in the late sixties I enjoyed the early morning walk to the office along the multi-colored mosaic tiled sidewalk of Escolta from the bus stop at Quiapo, passing by those beautiful historic buildings featured in the video clip. In my capacity at ABC I had to intermittently visit just about all the banks in the area in order to conduct inter-bank transactions, did my shopping at Bergs, Aguinaldo’s and others, and dined at Savory Chicken, etc. I’m naturally saddened by the destruction of the PNB and the state of disrepair of other structures. It’s been over 50 years since I left the country (before Martial Law) and I long to visit the area one more time before I “turn into an angel” (so to speak). Thank you for undertaking such a commendable effort of chronicling our very rich heritage; more power to you and may God bless you and yours. .

always present palagi idol

I went back in time...I'm not from Manila but a typical Mindoreño who went to college in one of Manila's universities...and being it's resident for a few decades now, I've been able to go around those areas that you've featured here, thanks for that, it gave me some nostalgic feeling while watching this...but what made me sad about was the picture of the old PNB building...my post-college training was at PNB, Escolta in 1983, on its 12th floor at Organization and Methods Office, it's an awesome building at that time, centralized air-condition, ...lots of memories there...I used to take the stairs up to the 12rh floor for weeks when Ninoy Aquino died because there's always brownouts...I'm lucky I was able to see the grandeur of Escolta in the early 80s...now the lighted avenue during nighttime was no more😔

Tnx so much for this Vlog , naalaala ko mga nakaraan shopping , eating out , going to Sta Cruz church n watching movies so much to do in one place. Loved 🥰 this one ☝️, Tnx again👍🙏🙏🙏

Yes, my father had a business in Escolta. Thank you Fern! I am feeling nostalgic with all your vlogs.

Nakakamangha ang mga dating desinyo ng "old manila" imagine kung gaano kaganda nung glory days pa nito. Sana mapreserve at marestore parang nasa Europe ang architecture even the bridges in Manila ay napaganda bakas ang alaala ng nakaraang siudad. Manghamangha pa rin po ako tuwing napapasyal ako sa dyan sa gawing Escolta at mga katabi nitong parte ng Manila. Gosto ko po mga content nyo, salamat po for sharing a part of our Filipino heritage and history. More contents to come👣

Present idol

Naging parte ng buhay ko ang Escolta, diyan kasi yong school kung saan ako nag-college, ang dating CCM ngayon ay UDM.

Dto p ako mas .madami nattunan about s history Ng pinas kesa nung nag aaral ako 😅😂 thank u k utubero 🙏❤️

Galing ng research mo, bro! Very informative!

Very nice na feature mo ang mga kilalang pinoy arkitekto at mga nagawa nila. Sana lang wag na tanggalin ang mga bldg na yan at sana i restore na lang.

Goodday. Nice one..

nice job, seeing that sawing machine in the museum has brings back some memories in me. as a small child i used to watched my grandmother using a similar manual sawing machine repairing some clothes, no electricity required, im loving that machine so much that i now owned one in a very mint working condition. many thanks for showing the mini documentary of the past and present situation of this part of history in manila.

Napakaliwanag MO talaga g mag paliwanag ang Ganda at malinaw ang vlog MO ikaw Lang ang pinaka malinaw n vloger sir fern keepsafe always

Perfect mga video mo ser on a Sunday morning YT binge watching. Keep it up. !!

Very imformative, thank you. Keep up the good work and more power to you.

Ang Ganda nakakamangha at nakakatuwa na well preserve pa Rin Ang mga building na yan, lagi po ako Dyan sa escolta noon year 2000 to 2004

I truly love the architecture of the Escolta area. It brought back a lot of memories during my high school days until my the early 70’s when Escolta was the prime business district of Manila. I wish that they would resurrect the district and could serve as a model for the turn of the century architecture. I don’t know why the Philippines could not restore such places just how they did it in Europe. Shoutout from Chicago, Illinois.

It's good that some buildings are preserved because they were designed by renowned Filipino architects.

Wow! Again thank you for this beautiful and informative vlog 🥰 I hope someday we can come again for holiday in the Philippines 🇳🇱🇵🇭🌷🌷🌷

Fern, thanks for sharing this wonderful video of our historic Paris of the East , Pearl of the Orient, etc, which is Manila. Unti unti nang bumabangon ang Manila sa dating pagka lugmok. The Historic Preservation Division of the National Historic Commission is working with the City of Manila in the architectural preservatiion of the Heritage buildings within Manila. Businesses are coming back to Manila, and in the coming years, there will be much more. Because only in Manila within the NCR Region you have these heritage buildings and houses. Manila have so much potential in bringing back history and wondrous sites. Thus revitalization, and redevelopment efforts of our present and future Mayor is very important. Thank you for all the vlogs and there are many many more hidden history to uncover. In other countries, travel walking tours are offered in historic, art, museum, and food districts. Which are added income for Filipinos, also added content for vlogs.

Ang escolta maraming artistang nakatambay dyan. At mga magagandang shopping mall dyan. Hindi naman matataas. Dyan nagpapatahi ng terno si Dolphy at ibang artista.

A vlog so commendable for it's good sense of history which is a rarity nowadays. May there be more like this!💐

I have no words! I didnt know na marami pa rin palang museum from our history... im glad this was on my recommendation... i would love to see them pag nakapagbakasyon ako sa Pilipinas... i love our history and this makes me happy!!! Thank you for showing these places for us.. you deserve a million subscribers!

Yorme brought back the glory days of Manila. Escolta was the sosyal area to go dine out. Salute to the resolve of Yorme, Manila is touristic again and a worthy of reasonable shopping. Ongpin Hopia can only be bought in Escolta/Binondo is to die for. Panregalo!

Mr. Fern, tutoo ang sinabi mo. Nanood ako ng walking vlog “A walk in Paris” this new year 2022 and kahit kakaiba ang mga lighting nila alam mong lumang architecture pa rin ang mga building. Naalala ko ang mga sinasabi mong lumang buildings na gustong gusto mo sa vicinity ng Escolta, if only they can be rehabilitated. Paano kaya ang ginagawa nila sa France to give life to the old structures?

Wow ba ang galing galing naman at gangda tanawin

By making documentaries of Old Manila then and now, I became your subscriber. You did great of explaining the history of old buildings, historical places, old stores and shops that existed around Manila plus awesome historical photos in the 1800s and 1900s. Stories of famous people who owned restaurants, businesses and architects who built buildings that became famous landmarks. There are so much to learn on your vlogs about historical and architectural buildings that were part of our past. Keep it up and hope more of these documentaries in the future.

Tnx Po sa video Nato kayoutubero👍👍👍
