The Metro Commuter Woes

The sort of woes I encounter every day going to work.

Bakasyunan Resort, Tanay, Rizal

We had an office outing and we were permitted to bring family. Yay! When I saw pictures of the venue online, I was very eager to go. Road trip with my wife and kids, and they enjoyed it. Worth the long drive.

Laiya, San Juan, Batangas

Family trip with office friends.

Hidden and Forgotten History Marker

As I was roaming around Kawit back roads today, I noticed an old, unkempt marker on a vacant lot looking oddly out of place. I stopped to take a closer look, and it was an undated commemorative tablet of some sort. It read:

COMMEMORATIVE TABLET TO THE FLAG'S FIRST VICTORY 

At Alapan, for the first time, on May 28, 1898, was carried to victory, in baptism of blood and fire, the tri-colored Philippine National Flag. The battle over, the Spanish forces surrendered to the Filipino hosts who saved the Red, White and Blue and raised the "Sun and Stars" to glory.

Donated by General Esteban de la Rama, Secretario de Marina in Aguinaldo's cabinet 1898-1899. Presented at the request of Mr. Luis Elba who interested the donor in the significance of this event in our military history.

 I hope this marker gets noticed and preserved for future generations to see.

I added the location in Google Maps here.

Collin Ville, Batong Dalig, Kawit, Cavite

Parc Infina - Kawit Cavite

Phase 2 of Parc Royal has started development: Parc Infina. (Phase 1 is ParksVille Residences, still ongoing construction.)

Trash from the Past!

It's been several months since the last Habagat and flash floods hit Kawit, Cavite, but why on earth is this still here?
Garbage that had been washed out by the storm surge have become a permanent fixture on the road side along Centennial Road near Tramo-Bantayan. Does the local government of Kawit have any plan for this?
