Looking back in time, I can feel the vibe and influence of the trade along "Calle Real" or in the present day JM Basa Street. However, the charm of the historical buildings today is deteriorating probably due to lack of maintenance.

The street has been famous since the Spanish Era. However, its importance has dwindled and the street has become less maintained; yet there have been efforts to revitalize the street.
