Carlos Celdran, a fan of history and of the city we love to hate, started doing these tours four years ago. He says, "I can't change how Manila looks, but I can change how you look at Manila."
Carlos is an artist through and through, and he takes his captive audience on a whirlwind walking adventure, complete with personal visual treats (he dresses in Barong Tagalog, the traditional formal wear for men, and a salakot, or farmer's hat) and call-to-arms live music from his teeny weeny boom box.
Highly recommended, even for Manileños who've lived here all our lives.
