MANILA LIFE IN THE 1900s MEMORIES
Hundreds of years ago, Manila houses were commonly constructed from bamboo and nipa palm, materials well-suited to the local climate. At that time, electricity was a luxury that only affluent Filipinos could afford, setting them apart from the majority of the population.
Life during this era was deeply intertwined with nature. Families relied on local farms and markets for food, ensuring that their diets were entirely organic, free from synthetic chemicals and preservatives.
The absence of modern noise pollution allowed residents to enjoy the soothing sounds of chirping birds, rustling leaves, and flowing water, creating a serene atmosphere that fostered a profound connection to the environment.
This harmonious lifestyle reflected the values of the community, emphasizing sustainability and simplicity in daily living.
