Heritage houses in this little-known historical district in Manila are being replaced by skyscrapers, those tall, imposing and artless structures of concrete and steel that will serve as warehouses instead of homes. As e-commerce fuels the growth of crass commercialism, hyper-consumption and this throwaway culture, people are losing part of their past, cultural artifacts are being torn down or stolen, children are growing old without a connection to their past, and generations of Filipinos will be losing their soul as a nation. For each checkout. In every add to cart. #HeritageWalksManila #RebirthManila#History #Culture #Heritage #Architecture#SanNicolasMNL
