HISTORY OF LODGING INDUSTRY IN THE PHILIPPINES FROM 1800’S UP TO PRESENT TIMES
Being a student from Manila, I came from different schools in University Belt, I’m a little bit curious and interested about how the lodging industry in the Philippines were full grown up to now. Even if I seldom experienced entering hotels, inns, and motels, it sounds interesting to me as it was been one of my course now. As I’m studying in Manila, I started making WH-questions related to this so-called “lodging industry”, for example; when these lodging industries did started here; where was the first and foremost hotel that was built here; how does the Filipino give importance to the old establishments. In Sampaloc, Manila, this University Belt district, where most of the universities in Manila are located and also, it's where the Dangwa Flower Market lies. It is also the student dorm central of the Philippines where most Filipinos nationwide claim temporary board and lodging - in the myriad of apartment houses and ever rising condo-dorms (some as high as forty plus stories) lining a warren of narrow streets - while enrolled in the more than a dozen universities, colleges, and review centers within it, along with service shops such as bookstores, copier & printing (including fake diplomas, identification cards, and certification papers a white collar jobseeker needs) shops, thesis and reports mills, and computer rental shops, as well as entertainment joints catering to a student such as internet and video games, bootleg DVD & software shops, billiard halls, and student-budget sex and related vices safe houses.
The next one is the Old and New Santa Mesa where I’ve observed that this working class district is not so holy anymore as it hosts most of the city's short time love hotels and motels; and somehow marks the first shot of the Filipino-American War. As I was walking in Rizal Park, every Saturday night when my friends and I will chill at the moment, I passed by Ermita. Around
