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.

My next adventure awaits 😎 My next adventure awaits 😎
Almost 12 years ago (on independence Day no less), Almost 12 years ago (on independence Day no less), I joined a trip of Taal town with Derrick Gerardo Manas as our guide. Prior to that, I only had a passing knowledge of the town. But Derrick made me appreciate this town more, thanks to his passion for Batangas history and heritage. It was thanks to him that I was able to write a well received article on the town, which was my homage to the beauty and history Taal has to offer which Derrick has shown me. Though we have drifted apart over the years, I will always be grateful to have known him and how he has worked tirelessly for the cultural heritage of Batangas. Salamat at hanggang sa muli kabayan!

    September 19, 2016

    Pasay City today is one place in the metropolis which has a conflicted identity brought about by the many changes that came upon this part of the metropolis over the last 70 years or so. There is the Old Pasay, at least remains of the old genteel neighborhood where some of the Manila’s elite families lived, especially before the war and in the early postwar years. Then there is the Modern Pasay of today, suffering in urban squalor, decay, and congestion brought about by the emergence of the urban poor populace who lived in the city as the elites moved out to escape the creeping urbanization.
