SCENES IN MANILA.—The old walls of Intramuros, Manila’s historic “city within a city” (above) provide striking contrast to modern buildings. The moat surrounding the walls has been filled up and made into a golf course. The entrance to Fort Santiago in Manila’s walled city (left) is the Philippines’ leading landmark. The fort was Manila’s dreaded prison, comparable with France’s Bastille and the Tower of London. During the Second World War hundreds of Filipino prisoners died within its confines.
