Thank you for doing this.. As an Australian living in Phills. , I walk around my city here and try to find old buildings.. I first came to CDO in 1967 as a 20year old looking for adventure.. There were many fine buildings but being young I never thought of photographing them.. As I go around and point out where I used to live,, my friends ask why i lived in a slum.. Gets difficult to explain to them that where I stayed was a good area ,, middle class where moms and dads raised there kids to live a good life. But times change and things change with them.. I wonder if we were to come back in 50 years would these new bright condos just be vertical slums because the population moved to a new area and a newer city developed with bigger and shinier condos... I lived in Nazareth for a long time and it was beautiful there... Safe, friendly people and no rush... Now it has all changed..........But I guess that is life.... Things evolve...... Thanks for posting these old memories of the Philippines... If I was a Filipino I would be proud to watch this and think how times were a better and slower pace...

@Slim Jim. Wow Jim, you have a lot of history there compared to me, my first visit already married was on vacation in 1999, and we bought a property and moved there late 2007. Miss the place like hell, we're back in NZ temporarily, the plan is to return to our home eventually. I'm 7 years your senior Jim. In 1967 i was a Traffic Cop here after Military service in Malaya.

@@daddybob6096 If I remember correctly, traffic cops then operated "stop/go flag" enclosures on the middle of an intersection like Colon and Jones (Osmena Blfd). Or maybe it was in the early 60's.

One day. Future Filipinos will be looking at your videos for glimpses of life in Cebu back in the day.

Amazing. I never knew there were railroads back then. Something I like to look at in old photos is how people used to care about how they dressed. Thanks for the video.

Big up VPP, fantastic job! Thank you very much. I especially liked the boats in the old harbor and wharf pictures. It makes me think of the time (beginning of the 20th century) when Europe (especially France) had boats taking passengers and goods to Indochina where they had settled.

The most beautiful city in the world.

Thank you for sharing these photos, it means a lot to me. My father in law was born in Siquijor in 1927, and these photos are a reminder of how he would have seen things as a boy or a young man. I know he spent time in Cebu City as well.

It’s always a wonder to see old photos . How areas have changed over the years . Of course we think how wonderful it must have been in those days , truthfully I’m sure it was as tough then as it is now .

I'm sure life was also tough in those days though you can't deny that there were a lot of beautiful architecture in this video that were lost over the years.

LOVE LOVE LOVE 😍😍😍 left carcar in 1987 been in Melbourne ever since....still hold it close to my heart....nearly bought tears to my eyes carcar station 1930 never even knew that. ...my Lola and lolo would have been regulars there 😍

Wow i've never seen old Cebu pics..thanks for sharing dai

Viewing images like these always get me emotional about how simple and beautiful Cebu was. Now it's a major city, beautiful, but lacks appreciation for the beauty it used to uphold

thank you fo sharing these photos, i like it so much. reminiscing the past makes me feel wanna go back to the past

Thanks for sharing. I love old photos. The railroad was especially interesting. Boy--most of these pictures are quite old.

Really neat pictures, not many people on the streets back then, thanks for your time !!!

I really love these old photos, I think life was more stress free in those days..

Nice - I love old photos.

Very nice historical photos! And you are very clever for colouring them. Can I ask where you got them from? I heard that many buildings were destroyed by the Japanese during WWII.

I live on what was an railroad says my lola lol

Interesting, i often think about what it would have been like in the early days, before the invention of fossil fuelled vehicles, i'm sure life would have been so much more pleasant and a slower pace as well. I remember a few years ago standing on the roadside near the former, 'Metro Mandaue', and all i could see along the road in the distance was pollution from diesel vehicles, it really was quite bad, not seen anywhere before by me, in any country.

Hi Sir, can I repost this on my fb page? I really the old photos of Cebu shown in the video ❤️ I'll just tag you then

Hello,where can i find some specific photos like this?

Spanish company during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines

they have nicer building, dress better, nicer landscape, more greenery, less pollution, it looks just like America if not better.

if only the train stations maintained and even added on and the trains also maintained there would have been no traffic in cebu. and the cebuanos will fare better because farmers can easily bring their produce to the city and food will be cheap. now huge debt incurred for more roads which overtime cannot absorb the population increase and food becomes more expensive as trucks are more expensive and not able to bring lots of goods compared to trains
