Photos Inside The National Museum of the Philippines

The National Museum of the Philippines houses different collections from famous Filipino artists  such as Vicente Manansala where I really love his 1975 Bahay Kubo water color painting. It also has works by Carlos Franciso, Juan Luna, Jose Rizal among many others. Special exhibits are also present from time to time.

Photos Inside Fort Santiago, Intramuros Manila

Fort Santiago in Intramuros is also referred to as the Walled City of Manila. It is one of the most historic site that’s built during the Spanish era. This was the time when the Philippines was still under the Spanish Government as defensive fortress designed to protect the newly formed city of Manila. Jose Rizal our National hero was imprisoned at the Fort Santiago before his execution in 1896. The place played a role in the city’s penal and defense system all the way up to World War II, and has been occupied by the Spanishpeople, the free Filipinos, individuals from the US and the Japanese Imperial Army.
