- State of Manila between 1917-1930
In 1917, Justo Lukban assumed the position of mayor in the city. By 1918, the population of the city reached 285,306, while the metropolitan area had 469,955 residents. In 1919, the United States military established Camp Nichols near the city. Ramón Fernández took over as mayor in 1920, and in 1923, the Peking Council, the Tokyo Council, and the Manila Council, and the first Boy Scouts of America Councils in Asia, were organized. Miguel Romuáldez assumed the position of mayor in 1924, and in 1926, the Legislative Building was inaugurated in Ermita. Tomás Earnshaw became the mayor in 1927. Additionally, in 1928, the Institute of Accountancy, later known as Far Eastern University, was founded in Sampaloc by Nicanor Reyes and others.

My grandma is 29 years old at that time, born 1901, she died 2000. She's Wacs member while my grandpa is a soldier during WWII died early.
my grandfather also died in 2000, born in 1904 and fought the war
really up on things
This is a treasure! Glad i stumbled upon while just casually browsing here in YT. What nostalgia of a bygone era! Manila is much cleaner and people had decency and dignity. ❤
Thanks, really appreciate it
@@LeyAkino71 Do you restore them? Excellent work! Keep it up buddy.
@@darylp9306 yup, thanks man
much cleaner talaga, wala pa dyan mga plastics, di pa naimbento kaya wala ka makikitang kahit anong plastics sa era na yan
Shout out to the cameraman for traveling back in time to film this.
Shut up?
@@hanschrous1084bro hates fun
@@daymm8330 Aint funny. Not witty. "Papansin" lang.
Sino pang di nakakita ng cameraman lines na yan? Di lang talaga nakakatawa at paulit ulit nalang. Shout out din sakanya na parang papansin lang. Ok, sige, freedom.
@@hanschrous1084 for you, gusto mo ata ka humor mo lahat eh. Fun police amp
@@daymm8330 Last sentence: "freedom". Pero sige, ano funny don? Di mo pa ba narinig/nakita yan noon.
My Grandmother once told me that Tondo -where she grew up - used to be where the Middle-class families with Spanish backgrounds lived in the early 1900s. But when the Americans came they drove the Spanish families out and the neighborhood deteriorated.
Tondo changed a lot after the war
@@LeyAkino71 I heard stories that the spanish families would all gather at Sunset at a square in front of the Church enjoying the breeze from the ocean and kept the windows open at night. Nature's air conditioner. The Americans made Tondo a port and after the war became a slum where workers from the ports lived.
@@LeyAkino71 there were also large fires that destroyed Tondo in 1940 and 1941, right before the outbreak of World War 2.
Before the war tondo was the place for business and pioneer and it changes after the war

You do an excellent job with your nostalgia series, Ley. All these out of pure passion. The world should thank you for your contribution. 🏅
Thank you for your kind words, @ocasanez, I truly appreciate your support. If you have the time, I would be grateful if you could recommend this channel to your friends. It would mean a lot to me to reach more people who may enjoy the content.
Amazing capture of Bygone Era sa Philippines. Beautiful Manila & classy Filipinos. Thanks for sharing this video, you did a great job.👍🏽💗
thanks @chriskozak4966, I'm still learning how to restore properly and this is a fun project for me
@@LeyAkino71 do you own these videos or you got it somewhere? there are already some people digitally colorized these types of videos..
@@bertr6741 yeah most of them probably came from me, i have another account before called indios bravos but i already closed it and i saw all my videos been reuploaded on tiktok and facebook
@@LeyAkino71 ow ok, that's great.. yes I've seen some but never thought it was you the same, sorry.. anyway, continue digitally colorized some old pictures and videos of our past history..
My woman is from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I’m American I love the Philippines a lot I’m traveling for my first time to a Province called Augusan in 3 Years 😊
it's very rural and down South. Nothing like Manila I can tell ya that.
It is during this wonderful times Philippines was envy by other Asian countries
What, who said that? Plus no one CARES! Filipinos and their crazy mentality: "We used to be rich". But now you're poor, so do SOMETHING about it instead of complaining and lounging about the past!
@@Tricki_WooSpeak for yourself. I live in CBD quite comfortably.
And Now Manila is a shit hole city😂
@user-dr1nu1fo5c and that's why hundreds of thousands of foreigners now live in the Philippines.
Shanghai and Tokyo were also modern cities at that era.
Kakalungkot lang isipin na nabulok lahat ng sistema sa bansa natin. 💔
Kurapsyon at kawalang hiya ang nasa posisyon ngayon😢
@@HctudYTPati toxicity sa social media. Lahat tayo may kasalanan sa lipunan.
baliktad pa yung daloy ng mga sasakyan.
Yeah iba pa rules noon
The Tagalog people from Manila are really elegant and have class both men and women😊
Tagalog people or Manileños are the most well mannered ethnic group in the Philippines. sadly nasira ang imahe ng mga Manileños dahil sa mga probinsyanong naging informal settlers noon sa manila na ang kinabuhayan ay mang snatch, magnakaw at gumawa ng krimen. In present times bihira na makakita ng mga native manileños dahil puro probinsyano or anak/apo ng probinsyano na ang nakatira sa NCR.
It became worst when Marcos allowed Muslims to resettle in Manila, especially during the civil war in Mindanao, which until now never stops and are still isolated cases of kidnapping. And in the early 60s when there was an influx of people came coming from many provinces and resettle in Manila, ending up as informal settlers.
The Tagalog people are really posh and elegant, even the poor have manners. Everything changed when different ethnicities Mish mashed and formed the Manila that we see today.
@@GaryHFieldit has nothing to do with ethnicity. Manila crumbled because of failed urbanization policies and centralization. 20th century Manila was designed almost like an American holiday resort, not an urban center, it's not an old world city like Tokyo or Paris etc. This is where the "Philippines shouldn't have been independent" sentiments stemed, even from Rizal who wanted to remain a part of Spain. We wanted and still need the hindsight of older colonial empires. This is mostly conjecture but our infrastructure is almost entirely shaped by colonial powers even in relations to our neighbors in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, that makes the urbanization of the Philippines a uniquely challenging one on top of its geographical challenges, it has nothing to do with ethnicity.
No, it is because of the war, Manila and its people lost its momentum and hope to move on
Wow. Galing. Pano kaya sila naka pagshoot ng ganito dati.. hehhe... Nice one
Wow, ang ganda pala ng Maynila noon , at May troll y rin noon ang mga babae pilipiniana ang suốt At mga lalaki naman ang Linis ng suốt nila at well behaved ang mga tao noon pati karetela ang ganda tingnan ang Pasig rever malinis walan kang papel makiikitang lumolutang . Hindi rin pala tayo mahuhuli sa mga kotse o' mga salakyan moon . I'm very thankful sa taong nag post ng pictures na ito. Sana more post pa kung mayron ka pa'pictures ... Thank you very much .
Kaya tinawag ang Pinas noon na Pearl of the Orient
Maraming salamat po. Ganito ang mga pananamit sa mga pictures ng Lolo/Lola ko. My parents born in the 1920's kaya yong mgax estudyante na nkaputi at mga decente ba pananamit nakikita ko rin sa mga pictures nila. Yong mga pari masusungit talaga pero mukha namang nakangiti mga estudyante dito. This just proves na mga ninono natin mga edukado na noon pa at makayang mapadala ng mga anak nila para mg aral abroad. Good luck in your next project.
salamat sir, this is a passion project for me, thanks for the appreciation
Wow 😮 it's amazing. It's seems I'm watching an Eddie Romero movie 🎥 in a HD or remastered format. So beautiful and nostalgic and at the same time a little bit sadness seeing how simple and peaceful life before 😢 It also brings back the memories of my father's storyline during those days. How I wish the time stop those years 🥺 Nice 👍 and thanks for sharing and posting it to your blog. More historical footages. ❤ it 😘
I bet our ancestors would be rolling in their grave if they see what we have become.
We were waaaay ahead compared to our neighbors and we managed to be surpassed by almost everyone in the region. Only four countries in East Asia remains poorer.
We have to get our act together and start voting wisely.
It started in one year. 1966. After that, boogsh Philippines to the dumpsite.
@@thwb4661 but look who’s in power. 🤦♂️
Remember this was the time when we were backed by the Americans.
After the war and independence, we were left on our own, not realizing that we were not really ready for self-governance.
If we really want it the way it used to be, then we must submit again to the Americans, because clearly they have better institutions than us.
You can thank the greed & corruption of the elite for that. 😉
@@ShaqItGoodLeni Robredo can't even solve simple Math problems..lol
Back in my childhood were I think Manila is the place of hope,dreams,and new beginning. Now its all opposite.
Same with American Dream. The world has changed and there are better options than this city.
great video , I love the history of Philippines
Glad you enjoyed it
@@LeyAkino71 keep us updated with more
@@themediterraneanguy will do
Nice timeline, the traffic flow smoothly and the pedestrians are very disciplined.
I wonder how it would feel to be someone born in this era and watching this relic on UA-cam right now. I wonder if I'd really want to know.
Definitely you will feel Americanized.....The Phils. Was under American Rule from 1899 to 1946.Everything was American from Education to Corporate Matters.....
tapos alipin ka
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
2:37 Shoutout to the guy slide walking on top of Las Pinas church.
My grandma was 21 at the time and my mum, 3. I recall my grandma still wore "saya" in the 60's u til she passed in 1968. She was of Spanish descent and spoke Spanish fluently. My mum and dad too were very fluent both in Spanish and English.
Well my lola passed away in 1995 and she still wears saya
Amazing video, its like traveling back in time
ang linis at ang ganda ng Manila parang Spain .
Yet today...Spain is not even a G7 or G20 nation...Sa mga sinakop na bansa noon ay wala mi isang industrialized country...
@@nimfalaganapan5620 check out the expertise in this mofo..
Ooh thank you for this! This was my childhood.
This is pure Gold! thank you for showing us a glimpse of the past. I wish i could go back in time just to experience this bygone era.
Thank you for this video. It helps us learn more about ancient Philippine history and the ancient dwellings we don't get to receive proper information on.
"ancient"? 100 years old pa lang po, hindi pa 5,000 years
Ancient 😂😂😂
Sadly, many of these people were killed during the WWII and perhaps never got to see themselves in moving pictures.
I love it, vintage video, thanks for sharing this
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO!!! It's so beautiful!!
Thank you sir
thank you for this, beautiful. If only we can turn back time
Oh yes! I love how it’s done! Nostalgic, indeed! Those were the days my friend.
Pag pinapanood mo ang ating
nakaraan lungkot at saya ang
aking nadarama... 🕊🤔👍😘
The Sudden rapid increase of population is what made Manila it is today. With more people flocking to the capital because wages are higher HDI is better caused a lot of people to move in and as we know. it goes like this "More People = More Space Occupied, Harder Organization for Urban Planning , unbalanced wealth distribution and opportunities = Poverty, Increase in crime rate etc" . The only way to restore Manila is for people to leave or find a way to decentralize the capital by any means
also things like plastics, importing everything rater than exporting etc etc etc
thanks for sharing this documented footage of the past.
Mas maayos, mas malinis, mas mahinahon ang mga tao, mas kapakipakinabang ang karamihan...
Pero walang aircon
Love to see filipinos wearing traditional clothing. Notice how none of the women wear ripped jeans or short skirts like they do nowadays. Truly a classy time in Philippines history. Now I see why Filipinas was once dubbed as “Perla de Oriente”. The classiest nation in Asia at the time. You couldn’t even tell a person was poor based on their clothing. I wish it was still like that today the problem is pagaya gaya ang Filipinas sa Estados Unidos kasi kaya nawala ang ating identidad. Thank you for sharing this video. Any videos from the Spanish Era? Philippines had extravagant establishments during the Spanish Era that were unfortunately destroyed during WW2
Traditional? Colonial mentality much, and why shame women for wearing what they are wearing? Sexist and toxic rooted in patriarchy!
Do you have problem with women wearing ripped jeans and short skirts?
Girl ripped jeans during that time was none existent mini skirt existed around around 20s and 30s but, what they considered short that time isn't the same during this era.
Like wearing skirt during 20s and 30s above knees or showing the knees was very provocative and that was already considered as a mini skirt.
Every latest fashion style of every era were used to be seen as not appropriate from those time befor up until now.
Studying history includes fashion and trends.
@@moonicedlatteit seems so.
@@moonicedlatteThey can't look away from them so they blame the women for dressing however they want
Ang linis mga tao disiplinado maganda kalakalan dati
Ganda ng mga kasuotan nila. Ganda ng baro't saya. Then some men are wearing tuxedos. Even ordinary citizens maayos tingnan. Ngayon babalahura mamamit ng mga tao. Haha
Nakakamiss yong mga bata.tulad ng panahon na yan masyadong bata pa ang Pilipinas .Hindi magulo sa kalsada.
it's so disciplined and clean
New subscriber here. Grabe nakaka mangha talaga ang Pilipinas noon. Baka sakaling meron ka pong footage ng Atimonan, Quezon Province.
i LOVE this footage. thank you for sharing this
thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Several American families lived in the residential area of Malate. Malate was a place popular for well-heeled foreign expats and well-to-do, notable Filipino and Spanish families. The wealthy Chinoy business class all lived within Binondo. Several wealthy Indian traders resided in Malate and Pasay.
Yes. I am Indian and grew up in Malate.
parang ang sarap manbuhay sa era na yan
nah, if this was in 30s then you better suit up for incoming WWII
wow!! this is incredible!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wow, nicely cleaned footage, nice added sounds
This Philippine era when corruption still didn't exist and very clean country, how i wish Philippines could still get back in that wonderful times. 🥺♥️
Corruption has been in existence since the Spanish period.
@@sureshmukhi2316 Agree.

From the book:
Misterios de Filipinas.
Novela original de D. Antonio Garcia del Canto
Published 1859
"The mayor does not know the language. His interpreter is the clerk of court, an indio, and the chief troublemaker. The clerk of court is almost always in agreement with the rich indios. Because the mayor is a businessman in reality, naturally he is more interested in his business than agents and he lets the clerk run the court. The clerk becomes the arbitrator and this is how the clerk makes himself a fortune."
Beautiful films. Ganda ng pagka add ng sounds.
parang gusto kong bumalik sa panahon nila
Mabaho nung panahon nayan tignan mo yung kalsada puro Tae ng Kabayo at Problema ang Hygene dyan Uso ang Cholera ng panahon nayan tandaan mo hindi pa uso ang Septic Tank ng panahon nayan kaya kung saan saan lang tinatapon ang Dumi ng Tao at Noon paman Limitado na ang mga Trabaho dyan kung Hindi ka tapos ng Kolehiyo o Pasado sa Civil Service malamang Pulubi ang bagsak mo O Trabahador O Magsasaka sa Hacienda walang Sariling lupa ang mga Magsasaka sa panahon nayan Mahal ang Presyo ng Lupa ng panahon nayan mas mahal pa in Modern Times, KAYA Good Luck kung Tumagal kaya sa panahon nayan.
Bakit mo gugustuhin bumalik sa panahon nila eh panahon ng gera yan
Dagdag ko lang malapit-lapit rin ang dekada ng WW2 sa panahon nayan sigurado aayaw ka sa panahon nayan.
kalmahan nyo lang guys
ako rin, nang sa ganun makapagbibigay ng babala sa paparating na giyera
The sound of kalesa horses is so relaxing. It has no place in the modern era though. Hope the government completely bans it for the poor horses
give chills thinking that most of the people there are already old or already died..
Is it possible to edit the colors? It would be lovely to see it that way too. Only if it's possible. 😊 but thanks so much for letting us see a glimpse of that past
yes, it's possible, I'm still in the learning stage of how to restore a film, I'll get there someday
@@LeyAkino71 can't wait bro. God bless
All my fellow kababayans in the comments with a colonial mentality glorifying and romanticizing colonialism! Galing mo ha g! You’re a part of the problem. Please decolonize and heal historic generational trauma. 500+ is enough diba?! This isn’t us either. Shaming our ancestors who sacrificed so much for it all to be destroyed, taken away and forgotten!
Whoah, they were driving on the left side of the road back then? I wonder when did the shift happen?

The era when the philippines drove right handed cars.
has anybody noticed the ghostly figure walking from the top of the church? it's @ 2:40
It's so cool to think that everyone in the video is dead now.
nakakalungkot isipin na halos lahat sila wala na ngayon, mga tao, establishments/infratructures and yung railway sa city.
Radio announcer Tiya Dely said she was a fashion model in the 1920's. We were American Philippine Islands at that time. So, a lot of stuff were stateside from food to utensils.
Hmm, maybe during world war 2, tiya dely was born in 1920

Wow! It's nice to see this video of yesteryears... mabuti nman at may mga nakunang gnito noon na nagawang mlinaw pa din until now. Good job 👍
thanks sir, actualy yun original na footage di sya ganun kagandahan, ni restore ko lang sa aking makakaya, thanks for visiting sir
Ganda pla dati mukang disente lahat ng suot nila at gagalangin 😊 now this days makikita mo mga kababaehan halos pinapakita na katawan sa tiktok magkapera lang mga wlang galang sa sarili.
Looks like this has recently been digitized to 1080p (or more) at 60 fps, speed corrected, cleaned up and colorized. Also, ambient sound has been added to match the scene. Nice video restoration.
thanks, it's tedious but enjoyable
Beautful footage!
Thank you
The behavior and appearance of Filipinos in that era were more cultured and civilized than the Filipinos in the 21st century. Indeed, it is paradoxical.
ang ganda pala ng maynila noon 👌
sobrang advance ng pilipinas dati, imagine nung panahon na to wala pang maayos na mga kalsada or transport system man lang ang mga karatig bansa natin. pero naiwan tayo? anong nangyari pilipinas kong mahal. dito makikita kung gaano kagaling ang mga amerikano sa urban planning at transport system
manila streets seems so much cleaner then... i did notice the river having garbage
Yea manila now is like a shit
ai generated po yan
Ang linis-linis po sa Manila, Philippines, noong 1917-1930.
Nakatira po ako dito.
woww ang ganda ng pagkarestore
Salamat po
The women did dress their traditional maria clara attire in public. That's amazing. You wonder why they couldn't do that now. Unbelievable.👍👍👍👍👍
Great old footage that bring by gone era to life. Wondering how many Filipinos recognize their great grand parent walking these streets. Oh, and film speed is unnaturally slow. As if everyone moving in slow motion😉
Grabe wala akong masabi.😮
war really messed us up
I beg to disagree. Look at Poland now and how they revitalized Warsaw. Look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, binagsakan ng atomic bomb pero ngayon maganda na ulit. War messed us before but there is no excuse in not bouncing back after.
Gusto ko bumalik Jan sa time n yan
Ang ganda pala ng manila maluwag maganda malinis at walang pulosion walang vendor walang maangas
Magical Philippines
TY for this..
Clean roads. Streets don't have plastics, and trashes. Nice.
Beautiful and clean
Hmmm those horse poops on the road
Amazing video
Nakatirik pa yun ngayon sa Guadalupe Makati, yun lang hindi na preserve yung lugar sa dami ng bahay ngayon. Ganda pala dati parang ilang na lugar ang Guadalupe.
If we can bring back the time and the memories. People are well discipline. No pollution, people are used to ride calesa, bike or just walking
Don't forget the suffering of all the women from japanese soldier
Gusto kung magkaroon ng timemachine oara balikan ang ganitong panahon at maranasan ko ang buhay noon
kung may time machine, gagamitin ko yan para makausap at babala sa mga ninuno ko, sana makumbinsi ko sila na maghanda para sa paparating na digmaan.
While i'm watching this video, i'm thinking my great grandfather and grandmother is walking somewhere in this clip.
Noon hindi Filipino ang namumuno may systema ngayon sigh 😔 kawawang bulok na bansang Pillipinas hindi manlang magkaroon ng matino at magaling na leaders
Oh dibah sobrang democrasya ang gusto ninyong pilipino kayong mahihilig sa ibang lahi.. oh ayan ngayon ang napala ninyo sa democrasya ninyo.. bow
Look how clean… now it’s garbage everywhere
This is more better than modern transpo
Wonderful
Ang galing parang pelikula
A lot of these people probably lived during the end of WW2 (1945) . Must have been a sad day for them to see Manila destroyed during the last battle to retake it from the Japanese by the Americans.
Times during my great grandparents' youth
Ang gandang tignan parang walang ka stress stress😊❤ kaya lang mahirap din mamuhay noon kase walang aircon walang tv walang cp walang de flush na toilet😂 walang napkin. Walang converse na rubber shoes nike na back pack😂 waley bra😂 waley electric fan chos! 😂
Iba talaga ang panahon ng mga Amerikano. Iyan talaga ang tunay na golden age ng Pilipinas. Dapat muli na lang tayong magpasakop sa kanila, dahil malinaw naman na hindi kayang pamahalaan ng Pilipino ang sarili niyang bansa.
