The postcard shows a Boy Scout Monument and identified its location as Manila; however, I could not find any Boy Scout Monument in the Manila area. There is one in Tomas Morato, but it doesn't look like the one in the postcard. Another Boy Scout Monument I found is in Tacloban, and it is also not the same monument.
