Scenes from Hidalgo Street

Hidalgo Street was regarded in the late 19th century as the most beautiful street in Manila. Today, there are proposals to restore and protect the houses on Hidalgo Street from the 19th and early 20th centuries since they create a streetscape that is dignified. However, plans of the Manuel L. Quezon University have not been moving recently and the City Government of Manila has yet to act on the said proposal.
