Below is a colorized photograph of the town of Batangas taken on 24 January 1933 taken from an aircraft that probably flew from Nichols Airfield (present-day Villamor Air Base) in what is now the City of Pasay. The photo has been zoomed and cropped from the original so that the pictures of buildings and houses would be more visible using any of the popular web browsers. The original has also been processed using graphics editing software to improve overall quality.
