This film from the U.S. National Archives shows the beauty and nice memories of Dewey Boulevard that is no longer. Originally called Cavite Boulevard, it was renamed Dewey Boulevard after the famous American admiral who led his men to defeat the Spanish navy in the Battle of Manila Bay. Dewey Boulevard was envisioned by Daniel H. Burnham, one of the first city planners hired by the U.S. Philippine Commission in 1905 to beautify Manila. It was later renamed Heiwa Boulevard in 1941 and finally Roxas Boulevard in the 1960s to honor the fifth president of the Philippines. SOURCE: filipiknow.net/rare-historical-videos-philippines/
