It's Pasig Day

Today, July 2, 2008, marks the 435th Foundation Day anniversary of the City of Pasig (or Araw ng Pasig). To celebrate this momentous event, it is a special (non-working) holiday in the city. The city has started the celebration a month ago with a series of activities and events, such as the Serenata, Palarong Pinoy, Pasig Iron Man Challenge, Literary Arts Competition, Kasalang Bayan, Mutya ng Pasig Pageant, and many many more.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, PASIGUENOS!

I was once a Pasigueno. We'd lived in Santolan in the late 70's and early 80's.

A BRIGHT day two days after typhoon "Frank" (international code name Fengshen) lashed the Philippines last weekend.

PhotoHunt 115 - Water

This Saturday’s theme is WATER.

I am not posting a picture of WATER but of the unique WATER fixtures – a bicycle of WATER faucets.

I estimated that it has more than a hundred of functional faucets. It is one of the attractions in a restaurant called “Isdaan” (fish pond) located in Gerona, Tarlac in Central Luzon, Philippines. It’s called “Isdaan” because underneath it is a fish pond. I think I have to post pictures of WATER – the fish pond.
