Do you know who Carlos Celdran is? I always hear his name from our Canadian officers and it looks like he is really famous among the ex-pat community.
So I got really curious since I always hear his name among our Canadian officers, and so I did some research about him. And that’s when I found out some intereting information about him.
Carlos Celdran’s mission is to educate and help the people understand the city of Manila. Quoting him, he said: "I cannot change the way Manila looks, but I can help change how you look at Manila."
He has been named as the Pied Piper of Manila by several local newspaper and publications. He has been organizing walking tours to give foreigners and even Filipinos, a new outlook of Manila.
His tours really became popular since he uses Manila itself as the classroom. Every time he conducts a tour, he is wearing a Baraong Tagalog, slippers, and his native hat armed with his portable radio for his sound effects and pictures of relevant events in history.

He offers half day tour, day tour and even overnight tours. You can check out his website: Walk This Way, for more information about his walking tours and tour rates.
Hubby and I should attend one of his walking tours. It really sounds very interesting and at least it will help us refresh our history and who knows it might give us a new perspective about Manila.
