Made by Kodak, this silent travelogue of the Philippines shows the nation as it appeared in the 1930s. Downtown Manila is seen in its pre-war grandeur at the :46 mark, with buzzing trolley cars and auto traffic. Sugar, coconuts and hemp are seen gathered at the 1:30 mark, and coconut rafts are seen floating to market at the 4 minute mark. Manila hemp is seen being collected from abaca trees at 7:50.
