Carlos Celdran.
History becomes an interesting multimedia exploration in Celdran's deft hands. He shows a cache of photos, comparing and contrasting the past and present of structures in his walking tours. He breaks into what suspiciously sounds like rap while narrating the life story of national hero Jose Rizal. He crreates a connection between history and today's events.

Certainly one of the most interesting sights of Old Manila is Carlos Celdran, a one-man cabaret, walking around in period costume, carrying his picture book and tiny boom box. Amidst historical dates and anecdotes, Carlos throws in a bit of hearsay and local gossip just to keep it interesting.

Usually decked out in either Spanish colonial garb, complete with top hat and tambourine, or 70s bell bottoms, for his (in) famous Manila walking tours, Carlos Celdran is anything but. Time has described his tour narratives as “gossipy, compelling, but unforgettable.

plein de belles atmosphères dans ces photos.

He looks and sounds like a remarkable 'character' about town. I especially like his top hat. Nice shots.

All of these photographs and with the last one of him going of the frame make one feel like he is leaves his charm behind in his tours.
