    About this ebook

    Manila, and the Philippine islands beyond it, has a rich history, filled with Spanish galleons, Japanese invaders, killer volcanoes, and a host of colorful characters and incidents that make the city a must-visit destination. The influence of the Catholic Church and of Islam, the Spanish and American occupations, the Philippine independence movement, Imelda's shoes and General MacArthur's vow to return ... the list of amazing facts and treasures goes on and on. In the classic Tales format, this book tells the story of one of the world's great cities through words and images of the times.

      Enjoyed this book very much. Great choice of snippets from the Philippine's past. As a filipino now leaving overseas, it brings back memories and answers some questions like why where the Beatles manhandled at the Manila Airport when they departed. Very interesting.
