While Luzon is on lockdown, let WanderManila head tour guide Benjamin Canapi tell you about his love affair with the City of Manila. This historical city has been a venue for international trade for 400 years. It bore witness to Spanish colonial rule, the Japanese regime, and the Second World War. Mr. “B. Canapi,” who has done walking tours since 2012, chats with Arts and Leisure reporter Michelle Anne P. Soliman about the city’s history beyond classroom lectures and history books. He also remembers the late Intramuros tour guide, activist, performance artist Carlos Celdran; and considers the future of walking tours in Manila. This episode was recorded on February 24, before Luzon was placed under enhanced community quarantine, at the BusinessWorld Studio in New Manila, Quezon City. Produced by Nina M. Diaz, Paolo L. Lopez, and Sam L. Marcelo.
