I’m back at the Manila Hotel after 21 years, the first time I stepped on this hotel was when I applied for a hotel staff position in 1987. I was hoping that I would continue my college studies if ever I’d landed a job there, unfortunately, they can’t hire me even with the best backer that I can get, I was only 17 then.

Back to my story, I went back to this hotel due to Niko’s request, they’ll be attending an event & they would love to take this opportunity to have a photo shoot around Manila.

Of course, I would not go home with just their photos, I need something for my own use, these photos were taken from the 14th floor of the said hotel. The first was from where Niko & Alda’s hotel room, from there a great view of Manila’s cityscape, with Intramuros on its background.

Also from the same room, the view of Roxas Blvd. & Bonifacio Drive.
Luneta

This time the view from the Debutant’s room, this is the much talked about Manila Ocean Park.

How about the view of the Eva Macapagal Terminal (formerly known as South Harbor) with some ships waiting for their queue to sail.

And this really caught my attention, a very nice picture of a ray of light.

Hope you like these photos.
