This is how the Church of San Agustin looks like in 2013 after the renovation of the façade. It used to have an orange color. I don’t know which design (or color) is closest to the original. I just don’t understand why they keep on changing the façade of churches in Manila.
Picture taken last October 6, 2013.
This is how the Church of San Agustin in Intramuros looks like in 2012 before they renovated the façade. Picture taken September 3, 2012.
This is one of the several lion dances performed during the Chinese New Year celebration at Binondo last Sunday, February 10, 2013. It’s definitely a fun-filled celebration.
Kung Hei Fat Choi to all the Filipino-Chinese specially in Binondo, Manila. We were there yesterday and I had a great time! Binondo is the perfect place to be if you wanted to feel the Chinese culture.
I hope the Year of the Water Snake would be good to me.

This beautiful fountain is located in Plaza Moriones, in front of the Fort Santiago Gate.
Fort Santiago is located inside the walled city of Intramuros and is one of the oldest part of this ancient city. The first time I visited this place was during a field trip in Grade 4. The second time I visited this place was just recently. It is still one of the best places in Manila.

Regina Building was built in 1934 and is located at the corner of Escolta and Burke Streets in the City of Manila.
Ignore the time on the clock since it’s not working. I actually took this picture around 1:00 PM. I also hate it when they put a big banner on the façade of churches. It ruins the aesthetic value of the building.
Nevertheless, The Manila Cathedral Bell Tower still looks magnificent.
XXIV Junio, MDLXXI (June 24, 1571) is the founding day of the Spanish City of Manila. This statue of Legazpi and Urdaneta (located along Roxas Boulevard, near Rizal Park, Manila) is erected to commemorate this historic event.
Jose Marti Y Perez (1853-1895) is the National Hero of Cuba. He’s a writer, poet, journalist, pedagogue, orator, politician and revolutionary. He actually have a monument along Roxas Boulevard (near Rizal Park), Manila, Philippines. I just stumbled upon it on my way to Intramuros.
I thought Che Guevarra is the National Hero of Cuba.
