Best memories the moral values of Filipinos, preserve dignity integrity honesty and kindness, money is not the priorities friendship more value. I was born in the 2nd world war thank lord I seen the Philippines at its best. Leaders govern by moral unwritten code of ethics. Local officials and teachers, police are great influence of the Philippines society.

Thank you, Beata... It's the closest thing that can put me back to the times, long time ago... Misty eyed as I watch this... Salamat..

Seeing this, i miss my parents. Now on the other side of existence. Life is nothing but forward until we meet them again.

Hello from Canada! What a beautiful idea by you. Well-done!

Another terrific video and terrific song! When I was a little kid, my parents would say they were going downtown when they'd go to Escolta. My father preferred to go there even though we lived in Makati. It was convenient to go to QUAD and Rizal Theater but he still brought my mom to the Lyric theater to watch Saturday Night Fever!

Thank you for showing us what downtown manila looked like during my Grandparents time. It's like looking at the same areas and places in which that's where they used to shop, work and meet their friends in the 50's and 60's.

Ang gaganda pala ng pangpurmahan ng mga pilipino noon... decente ang mga damit na suot

Nostalgia channel one of my Favorite KZfaq channel. Kita Tayo sa Friday, na busy lang ako ngayon.

The memories of Escolta lingers on. Let's go Downtown and reminisce about the past. Thank you so much Beata for featuring this wonderful video.

Nakakamis talaga ang 90s life yong kwentohan lang parang wlang mga problema.

Hyzzzzz sarap ng.life noon at sond....since Batang 80 love itttt super........peace mine super like old story.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Escolta was the premier location to go and be seen. The shops and building are the best during those past and glorious years! 👍♥️😊

Just like the old times, I love reminiscing! Thanks Beata..

salamat sa gintong alaala BEATA hindi ko makalimutan old Escolta

Noong 60s, ang tawag nila sa escolta, sta. Cruz up to quiapo area was downtown. My mom used to say, "pupunta muna ako sa downtown para mamili." So when Petula Clarke's song Downtown became a hit, i realized that downtown was synonymous to a place where one can find everything. But up to now i still wonder why it was called downtown. According to my dad, this was how the Americans called the place because it was the business capital of Manila at that time. Ganoon din daw sa U.S.

75yrs old na ako, d2 na siguro ako mag ppas away Hindi ko puedeng kalimutan ang mnl, na kkalungkot lang gunitain ang nakaraan, mahal ko pa rin ang pilipinas!!&

Thank u.. 4rm childhood to manhood that used to be my playground. I miss there so mch. Im in between tayuman & blum. 96 ako umalis ng manila.i still miss there time to time.

More good memories and throwback to the good old days of my childhood. Thanks again, BEATA.

I like the song downtown. Long time ago people are not wearing blue jeans.

With your videos and sounds makes me younger. Bravo BEATA!!!

Jeepneys then were 8-seater including the driver which was our mode of transportation in going to and from elementary school. And the good thing, we were not squeezed to fit additional passengers like if 8 passengers including driver, no more passengers were accepted unlike now where additional passengers are squeezed in even though let's say the 14 seats including driver were already filled up.

downtown.is a sta cruz avenida escolta. an american era

Before the growth of other Metro Manila cities, Manila was the Center of Education, Local Trade, Business, Churches, Medical Hospitals, Restos, Chinatown, Government, Import and Export, Movie Houses and Live Theaters, 24 hour Aristocrat Restaurant along Roxas Boulevard. I watched the decay of Rizal Avenue when they built the elevated LRT stations as the stores loss more customers. Quiapo Church and Sta. Cruz Church, Plaza Miranda before it was bombed by the Anti Christ founder of CPP NDF NPA crazy 🤪🤪🤪 UP ka-Diliman History Professor Jose Maria Canlas Sison.

Oh my gosh ! I remember Shirly and Zaldy.

Sa mga inabot na to what year ito, 1940's o 1950's piro an mother ko may picture pa sila sa Escolta na nag lalakad kasama best friend nya noon dalaga pa sila now She is 99 years old.

Those buildings are monuments of the past. It's sad that many of them have decayed or have been demolished.

Hahaha, nakita ko ung Odeon theatre, dun kami madalas pumasok syota ko wayback 1979,,,, so sad ndi kmi nagka tuluyan hehehe
