The PHILIPPINES, having almost 7,641 islands, is a dream destination for every travel enthusiast out there. Widely known as “The Pearl of the Orient Seas'', the Philippines has amazed the global community with its world-famous wonders, breathtaking beaches, picturesque sceneries, rich biodiversity, and perfect tropical weather.

Compiling a list of the most valuable rare seashells available today involves problems requiring considerable effort.

There is a saying that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” which means that beauty is relative. One person's definition of beauty is will always different from someone else's definition. Webster defined BEAUTY as the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations. I am sharing these vintage postcards of beautiful Filipinas back then. Their beauty was captured by camera and was preserved in time. There are many photos like these that were stored in albums just waiting to be discovered and admired. All of these are real photo postcards circa 1910-1930s. I hope you will enjoy looking at them like I did.

I had no idea that the pre-war version of this building looked any different. When I saw the pre-war version, the feeling of "what a waste" ran in my mind. The original pre-war version was, without a doubt, more beautiful. But considering the time it was built, the refined version seemed timely for a nation recovering from war.
