The photos must have been taken in different years, from the mid 1950′s to the mid 1960′s, judging from the car models (though some cars are pre 1950′d). Where is O’Henry’s Coffee and Donut shop in Plaza Sta Cruz (Plaza near Escolta & Reina Regente)?

Can you recognize the cars? Chevy Bel-air 1958, Simca 1961-62s, Toyopet 1960s, VW Beetle 1960′s, early 1960′s Mercedez Benz 220…

On Sept. 26, the Philippine capital Manila and its neighboring provinces suffered one of nature’s worst beating. Typhoon Ondoy, international code name Ketsana, poured more than a month’s worth of rain in six hours, submerging most parts of the bustling metropolis, drowning at least a hundred people as of press time. My prayers to the victims, and may we emerge victorious and live by the lessons of this tragedy. Donate via Paypal now at http://is.gd/3IOAT.
