NEXTTO

WARSAW, POLAND

Warsaw, Poland was the most devastated capital city of the Second World War. Manila, Philippines came in second. Our own capital city was flattered by carpet bombing during the Battle of Manila. It was General Douglas McArthur who Actually called Manila “the most devastated city in the world, next to Warsaw,” when he saw the city after the long battle. It feels sad thinking about the heritage Manila lost, particularly the gem that was the walled city of Intramuros.
