Centuries ago, Spanish settlers from far in Europe came to the land of the East. For long-term possession, the Spaniards built the fortress. But the fort was strong, and the subsequent war resulted in the Spanish giving way to the Americans, who gave way to the Japanese in the early days of World War II. The castles today, despite the destruction of the war, are still visible with city walls and artillery, as well as numerous deep dungeons. We can't know how many people and guerrillas Japanese invaders held in World War II, but we can imagine their eyes and shouts of freedom. After independence, the Philippines became a tourist attraction and became a must-see for Manila tourism.
