The Binondo Church had several restorations after it was partly destroyed during the World War and it remains to be a historical landmark in Manila. Even if the Spaniards had long gone, their strong influence in Filipinos can still be seen in the architecture, street names, and transportation– with calesas (horse drawn carriages) still around to move around the city.
Aside from the church, this place is also known for its panciterias (noodle houses) whose generations of owners has kept their family traditions and recipes alive. There are also jewelry shops and of course the famous hopia (bean filled pastry) and tikoy (made of glutinous rice) stores around.
Whether it’s the past or present, Binondo is a fusion of time, culture, and taste.
