Manila in the 1970's - old photos, new technology
Thanks to a gift of a slide scanner for my birthday, and " Photobucket " recommended by Steve.r , I can now upload photos from my first visits to Philippines in 1978. Please comment if you're interested, and correct me if I'm wrong.
First off, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, on reclaimed land to the seaward side of Roxas Boulevard, and established by President Marcos in 1966.

Next, Manila Bay and Roxas Boulevard.
Roxas Boulevard ( formerly Dewey Boulevard ) was named in the 1960's to honour the 5th President ( Manuel Roxas )

Thanks Stevewool - Clint Eastwood ? Get Steve.r to recommend new glasses . Tanga - in those pre-digital days I didn't take so many pictures, but as films only had 36 maximum exposures, every picture was carefully composed. The ones I have uploaded here are all original, as you can see, not edited in any way . Marie - I live in England now. I visited Philippines twice in 1978, while on " loan " to Universiti Malaya ( Kuala Lumpur ) from University of Glasgow ( Scotland ). Visited several hospitals in Manila, and also discovered how friendly and interesting your country is .
