Manila City Hall Underpass
Tourist attraction
👍 I should commend the people who rehabilitated this place! Years ago I wouldn’t dare to use this facility even in broad daylight! But now it has changed a lot. We can compare it to the underpasses of Ayala Avenue! Let us maintain and sustain this. These are small wonders that can make Manila proud!

😐 Used by McArthur during WWII as a headquarters. Of note, towards St Lucia are the remnants of the first officers academy in the Philippines. Probably another reason McArthur chose this location.

In this place was found about 600 rotting corpses of Filipino and American soldiers found by US Forces near the end of World War 2. It is a sad reminder of the cruelty and pointlessness of war...
