One time game show contestant, oft-time urban roamer. I have nothing much to say, I'm the quiet one...which is probably why I take photos too much.

For decades, the pedestrian crossing between Shang For decades, the pedestrian crossing between Shangrila Plaza and SM Megamall was such a pain point due to its poor placement such that sidewalk in the SM Megamall portion was practically nonexistent due to an obstructing boundary wall, forcing pedestrians to walk by the side of EDSA itself. But finally, things have been sorted out despite that it took a damn long time for it to be done with part of the wall now demolished and opened to pedestrian traffic.
10 years ago and some days ago, we were invited to 10 years ago and some days ago, we were invited to guest on the radio program hosted by Grace Bondad-Nicolas to talk about documenting Philippine heritage. This was done actually a few days before the registration of our nonprofit organization Grupo Kalinangan, which aims to document and promote Philippine cultural heritage.

This year would be/would have been the 10th year of the organization. Regardless of what had transpired in the past 10 years, I have always been proud of the work we had done and the passionate heritage advocates I have met along the way.

    Side Trips: A food trip to San Miguel, Bulacan

    November 29, 2018

    Sometimes, the Urban Roamer finds himself in places outside the metropolis. More so since for the past five years or so, this roamer has been living outside the metropolis itself.  Consider this something long overdue. As one of the 24 towns and cities that comprise the province of Bulacan north of Metro Manila, San Miguel is one of the towns that don’t get much of the spotlight.
