Old Manila II
This 10 minute YouTube video, entitled Manila, Queen of the Pacific is dated ca. 1938. It doesn’t show Quiapo but it is a great look back just the same. Check your speakers. This one’s got sound.

Throughout my childhood, lunch on Sunday was always at Barbosa (the former name of A. Bautista Street). This was how we referred to Bahay Nakpil-Bautista back then.
Museo ng Katipunan / The Katipunan Museum
The Nakpil-Bautista house honors the revolutionary society called the Katipunan with a permanent exhibit located in two rooms.
Old Manila on YouTube
I ran across this 6 and a half minute long documentary film clip showing turn of the century Manila on YouTube. Unfortunately, it’s a no-talkie but it is set to music of the era. Still, I found it enjoyable.
