Remember Manila in Transitio 1945

Manila Transitio is all about remembering.

It’a a commemoration of all the Filipinos who died in the Battle of Manila 71 years ago. It’s a recognition of the city’s deep history and imperfect beauty. It’s a celebration of the Manila that will be, once again gloriously beautiful.
