I'm really excited about his news, since Manila or other places in the Philippines don't have a Google streetview. Google’s Street View team is now in the Philippines for the first time they are capturing imagery from around the capital city of Manila. After Manila they will travel and capture other island across much of the archipelago.
On a blog post, Ryan Morales, Google Philippine marketing manager said that Street View in the Philippines is “a logistical challenge” since the Philippines is composed of 7,107 islands.
He also said:
“As a preview of the Philippines’ take on Street View, we’re publishing today 360-degree photos from within Manila’s historic walled city of Intramuros.”
Landmarks: San Agustin Church (the country’s oldest stone church), Baluarte de San Diego (one of the oldest stone fortifications in Intramuros), Plaza San Luis Complex (comprising a number of buildings showing various examples of Filipino-Spanish architecture), and Fort Santiago which is built by the Spanish in the 16th century.
Google is expected to roll out more imagery from the Philippines in the coming months.
Other locations in Asia that have Street View imagery include Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
