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.

    The Urban Green Development at Ortigas Center (the Pasig Side, at Least)

    April 22, 2018

    We have read and seen too many sad stories of urban decay, especially here in the metropolis. Because of this, there has been this lingering sense of hopelessness with the disorder and chaos that we see around the city. That being said, any story that offers positive developments and give a sense of hope that things can be done to at least mitigate the chaos is very much welcome.
