    Poetry:

    Usok na nakakakilabot
    Buong siyudad ay binabalot
    Mga kalat na 'di na hahakot
    Tunay na nakalulungkot

    Masakit tangggapin na 'di na natin masusulyapan ang kagandahan


    Dahil tayo mismo ang sumisira sa ating pinapangarap na kaginhawaan

    Saan na ang nakasanayang kong Maynila?


    Maibabalik pa kaya ang dati netong sigla
    Ngayon napaano ka na, nawalan na ng pag-asa
    Pinapabayaan na ng sariling bansa at punong-puno ng nagdudusa
    MANILA IN THE PAST AND MANILA NOW
    MANILA WAS once beautiful, full of beautiful buildings, parks and wide boulevards. But then
    came the devastation of World War II, followed by rampant urbanization and population growth,
    and Manila's landscape changed dramatically. Manila as we know it today is a gritty city with
    shifting notions of heritage and identity.

    The question begs the question: What is Manila to you?


    The Metropolitan Museum of Manila (Met) presents its newest exhibition, Manila: Hidden in
    Plain Sight, which aims to explore and shape the memory of the city amid changing culture,
    urban life and identity. "The exhibition explores the city's memory and the structures that shape
    the city's heritage and social identity," said Met director Tina Colayco at the opening of the
    exhibition on July 27. The exhibition also aims to have a dialogue about Manila's past and
    present.

    On display at the MET until August 26, the exhibit will travel to three Manila schools - Manila
    High School, Polytechnic University of the Philippines and Universidad de Manila - in
    September and October. According to Colayco, the goal is to be a forum for dialogue and
    discussion among students about the pros and cons of living in Manila. The exhibition is a
    conversation between the present and the past, with the art of the past and the present side by
    side. Thanks to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) collection, there are paintings depicting
    the heyday of Manila. Selected works include Isidro Ancheta's painting of the Intramuros Gate
    of 1920, which encapsulates Manila as a corridor and melting pot for communities from
    different provinces and people from different lifestyles and classes. There is also a painting by
    Victor Diores called Jones Bridge, which presents the old Jones Bridge that crosses the Pasig
    River and connects Ermita and Binondo.

    This is some of examples of place in Manila Then and Now

    Puerta Real, Intramuros, Manila

    Then: Puerta Real, a gate exclusively used by the Spanish Governor-General during state
    occasions.
    Now: A nonoperational gate in Intramuros, part of the Puerta Real Gardens

    Plaza Goiti, Sta. Cruz, Manila


    Then: Plaza Goiti, with views of the back of Sta. Cruz Church and Meralco Tram waiting station.
    Now: Plaza Lacson, a totally different reconstructed plaza, church and surrounding buildings.

    Escolta Street, Binondo, Manila

    Then: Calle Escolta used to be the "Wall Street of Manila" before the outbreak of the second
    world war
    Now: Escolta Street is still a prominent street in Binondo where hotels, restaurants and many
    other businesses are established.

    Jones Bridge, Binondo, Manila

    Then: Puente de España, the beautiful bridge comparable to those in Paris.


    Now: Jones Bridge, a reconstructed bridge built on the ruins of the original bridge (bombed in
    1945). No longer the beautiful bridge.

    Luneta Park, Ermita, Manila

    Then: The Rizal Monument and a view of the Manila Hotel


    Now: Still the same monument and hotel (but with a new building).
