An old Random map and more Alabang history

I found this undated map online showing the barangays of Muntinlupa and nearby towns. It appears to be more of a pictorial than scientific reference. There’s not a lot of data other than names. Alabang, Bayanan, Sucat and Cupang is on the map. Interesting is that Tunasan was written without “San Pedro.” The old hacienda […]

Dinner @ Hapchan Alabang

We had our little get together slash “despedida” last Friday at Hapchan. I was totally entertained by the funny stories. Takes my mind out of the “now”. It was a simple dinner and everybody had a great time and bloated guts! This team will always have a “lugar especial en mi corazon”. Hired all of ’em […]

Life is a Great Sunrise

I don’t know if its the thought that I’m a month away from leaving the building (I recently resigned) that gave me a more appreciative eye but you know lately I’ve been seeing a lot of these breathtaking sunrises over Laguna de Ba’i. Truly a wonderful experience. Over the years,  I developed this habit of […]

Since I was expecting some rain […]

Happy Independence Day

Just before I left the office today I started greeting people “Happy Independence Day”. “How do you react to that?,” someone said, not sure whether to greet back. Surprising was this young fella who answered back, “when is Independence man?” Though I find it funny(these people are good friends), it was hard for me to […]

Dreams of capturing beauty in some way

I have been researching these beautiful birds that can be found along the small rivers and the remaining woodlands in our area. This justify an investment in camera equipments that will help me document the existing wild life until it vanishes forever – but this, of course, is easier said than done as DSLR cameras […]

Rio Alban and its Scrubland

I decided to go out and bike around Filinvest Alabang this morning. It rained heavy last night and it is said that the flow naturally cleans up the river. True enough, the water was so amazingly clear; the sun was intense as usual, revealing the fishes that freely swims with the calm stream. Ever since […]
