Binondo-San Nicolas Tales 01: Introduction

For the next post of this blog series, please click here.

Just recently, I found some old Manila maps uploaded on Wikimedia Commons to search for my alma mater’s original location year 1899. Since they are all centuries-old, the copyright of the photos are now expired; so there wouldn’t be any copyright issues if I download them to my own computer and share it with you through this blog.

The maps have revealed so many details to me, and if I were to share all of them to you, one blog post will not be enough. Thus, the birth of Joe’s Mix of Tops new “blog series” Binondo-San Nicolas Tales.
