Manila: The Queen City of the Pacific, 1938

Please watch this video of pre-war Manila. It's well made and highly educational. I think this is the same video Ed asked us to watch. Unfortunately, there must have been something wrong with the link he posted.

Just click the Link with the same title on the right side of this page.
