Great photos Watson. The last time I was at Fort Santiago was on a field trip in grade school. It has been a long time but I will always remember the fascinating things I've seen on that trip. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing.

Hi! I have not been back to the Philippines for 40 years. Great to see photos of Fort Santiago. Last Febuary my husband and I took a trip to Puerto Rico and we visited Fort Morro. It made us homesick because it reminded us of Intramuros and Fort Santiago.

Nick, decided to burn (Transfer) my video on dvd and much to my surprise<BR/>all pics out clear. Maybe viewing on PC Monitor is different than on dvd itself. I'm just doing this for fun, since my PC is capable of doing movies, hehe. Just curious how my so-called projects turn out. Thanx for the tips regardless..cheers as<BR/>always....

Sasha: Soshal naman... sa fort ang reception!<BR/><BR/>Rho: Oo nga... siguardo mag-eenjoy rin yung mga kasama mo.<BR/><BR/>Ate Sienna: Buti nga kayo may cultural tours... sa Baguio, hanggang museums lang kami.<BR/><BR/>Jho: Kakaiba talaga ang place na yun. Thankfully, well-maintained sya. Pati mga restroom.<BR/><BR/>Philo Bastard: You're welcome to visit anytime!

College days! Studied in the intramuros area back then. Though i never got to see the whole fort Santiago noon. Nagpupunta lang kasi kami dun for practice para sa JPIA week namin. After practice, balik sa school.

TruBlue: Thanks for the compliments! This is my question: do ghosts know about Halloween celebrations? How come these stories only turn up during Halloween? hehe<BR/><BR/>About the photos in the video... If the photo is a small one, the software stretches the photo so it can accommodate the screen. Such stretching can blur the photos. Try getting a resolution higher than 72 dpi for the

fort santiago's a nice place to visit when there's not much people around, and there's a lot of photo ops too, especially later in the afternoon when the sun is about to set. great tunnel shot! :)

Wonder what kind of sounds and creatures we see if we install a remote video camera at night then view it live from 12 midnight to 3am? Hmmmmm.....<BR/>Great pics as always! Of topic: I finally did my first movie (still pics w/music and video effects. But some pics became hazy or not clear on the video? Any prognosis rendered is appreciated. Again, not good at these things and doing that video

Sidney: when we went there, only a handful of tourists were taking leisurely strolls. It is indeed a place for artistic pursuits<BR/><BR/>Mec: pumapalakpak tenga ko. hehehe

ang galing mo naman watson, ako yung nag-photography lessons sa Fort Santiago, pero mas magaganda kuha mo dun :D <BR/><BR/>one other Fort I went to was the one in Palawan... where my hubs' family came from. That time, he was almost in tears to have walked the same grounds as his great grandfather did... :)

It is indeed a nice place. It is not difficult to imagine yourself living in the past. It is also a very peaceful place when there are no students on a school trip around.

Hey Phil, it also feels like you're in another place and time. Not very hard to imagine the ladies wearing Maria Claras and the guys in their barong tagalogs and versions thereof. No Levi's.

My first time in Ft Santiago was '83 and I NEVER tire of it. You can practically FEEL your history in that place.<BR/><BR/>You left out how the Japanese used it for the same evil purposes as the Spanish did. During the occupation, thousands of Filipinos were held there under the most horrible conditions imaginable. Thousands died there along with hundreds of US POWs. <BR/><BR/>Want to feel the
