Here is a read only link to the Aerodrome Database - WhichAerodrome.xlsx. Up to date as of 1/5/2019. Catching up slowly - up to May 2019 now (Mar 2020).
Here are some "rules" for Which Aerodrome. These are based upon the original suggestions from the very first thread, and have a few additions. Also please be patient as when you are active others may be asleep.
 Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

Ah! So that would be - (I assume we are in WWII era) it was theirs then it wasn't and then they got it back? So one of the multitude of islands in the Pacific?
Yes, a Pacific island.
Now you see it, now you don't!
Now you see it, now you don't!
Two airfields being bombed. One still in use, the other long gone.
chevvron,
This island is very much larger than Iwo Jima.

You may suggest it, and I would agree with you! ;-)
Here are two pictures I took on my last visit to Manila. The first one was taken at the intersection of the two runways, looking southeast down the shorter runway (Roxas Boulevard). The statue on the right is a memorial to Ninoy Aquino.
The second one is the lovely Art Deco terminal, which somehow managed to survive the bombing. It is highlighted on the reconnaissance photo as the Operations Office.
The other airfield near the coast of Manila Bay is the current Manila International Airport. The "island" at the top of the picture is the Cavite peninsula, which used to be a US naval base and airfield.
Sultan Ismail has the con.

Open House.
The Art Deco Terminal now houses a Fine Dining restaurant.
Sadly they have covered the "Apron" with a tin roof to provide more seating. Need to be creative to get the right picture.
I recommend their signature cocktail "Aviation", it's a knockout.

I'll have to try it next time I'm there. I was aware that there had been some changes. When I was last there, the terminal housed The Filipinas Library, but I see that has moved to the nearby Ayala Museum.
Is the Ayala Triangle Park still there or has the Ayala Corporation succumbed to greed and built on the site?

Ayala Triangle Park
The Park is no longer a triangle, the apex is being developed, however it is still a green lung for the CBD.
Incidentally the Restaurant is called Blackbird, a quick glance at the satellite view will explain why.
I will be dining there next Sunday, it's the young ladies birthday.
Have a great weekend folks.
