UP Manila in Ruins, World War II

Facade of De La Salle University Post World War II

De La Salle College, St. La Salle Building, post-World War II

The building is apparently being repaired but war damage can still be seen on the facade as well as debris from the Battle of Manila. Military vehicles can be seen parked in front of the building on what is apparently the driveway. Photo taken from Taft Avenue. The main facade is blocked by the tree but the entrance to the building can be seen.

Fort Santiago ca. 1950s

This was how Fort Santiago looked like following the Second World War and the neglect of the government following the conflict. It was only in 1950 that sporadic restoration began in the area after it was declared a National Shrine by the Quirino Administration. The gate was restored in the 1970s while the entire area was converted into a park by the National Parks and Development Committee (NPDC) and later by the Intramuros Administration
