Working in Manila now for a week. We stopped and witnessed the black smoke still exiting that beautiful heritage structure about 3 hours ago. Horrible to witness such damage to a historical building such as that.
That's absolutely tragic, I've been in the post office it was a lovely building at the heart of the old city.
Looks like it, I took this one in 2005. Ana in the light yellow top with her arms folded. The Andres Bonifacio statue is behind me in this photo. It's one of the very few pieces of classical historic architecture they have, that's why this is so sad.
