Manila has lost a lot of its own historical landmarks to greed and commercialism as well. <br /><br />And the usual reason is that the local government lacks the fund to restore and maintain the buildings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8551602.post-67934307759212477852006-12-17T03:23:00.000-06:002006-12-17T03:23:00.000-06:00It is a crying shame that there seems to be no roo...It is a crying shame that there seems to be no room for little beautiful houses in a modern city. Things like that happens all over, even in my tiny village. It breaks my heart!! If i had loved that house like so many others apparently have, I would have cried when i saw these photos. <br /><br />So sorry for all you who had a "relationship" with this house!!<br /><br />Hugs MonsoonMonsoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056808252068413386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8551602.post-57361139248395446962006-12-17T01:08:00.000-06:002006-12-17T01:08:00.000-06:00How sad that such a lovely building was destroyed!...How sad that such a lovely building was destroyed!!Omnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535142570254270177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8551602.post-41096906263454998372006-12-16T22:06:00.000-06:002006-12-16T22:06:00.000-06:00:( so bad...

But memories are quite blur as it was a long time ago.<br />Didn't know about the will or its clauses though. And what is happening is a crying shame. Goes to show how little clout "heritage" has against $$$.<br />And that one minister wanted to take away the Coliseum cinema from its legitimate owner to make it into some sort heritage/culture centre.
