This is a replica of the Manila Tranvia (cable car) that was in operation during the early American Period. Sadly, it was not revived after World War II. This was taken at Fort Santiago, Intramuros.

Ortigas Building
Ortigas Building is located just a few meters away from Robinson’s Galleria. It’s along Sapphire Road and just opposite the Meralco Building. This is where the photography group, Nayon Photographers’ Club, held its monthly meeting.
CAP Building
CAP Building along Amorsolo Street, Makati City. What happened to the controversy that plague this company? Is this company already bankrupt? I remember it’s advertisement about how it’s ideal to invest money (through them) for college education. I guess several people are victims of these false advertisements.

Seal Of The Spanish Monarchy
This is a close-up look at the Seal Of The Spanish Monarchy (bas-relief) on the Fort Santiago Gate. This is slightly similar to the current Coat of Arms of the modern-day country of Spain.

Baluarte de Santa Barbara
This is the highest point in Fort Santiago, Intramuros. From this point, you’ll have a nice view of the Pasig River and the district of Binondo in the opposite banks of the river.

Memorial Cross, Fort Santiago
The marker besides this Memorial Cross in Fort Santiago reads:
In Memory Of The Victims At Fort Santiago
On this site lie the mortal remains of approximately 600 Filipinos. Their bodies were found inside a nearby dungeon where victims of the atrocities perpetrated by the Japanese Imperial Forces were imprisoned during the last days of February 1945.
The memory of all these unknown victims of Japanese atrocities will live forever in the hearts and minds of the Filipino People.
May their souls rest in peace.
