Pandacan to receive mobile day-care van

2 Comments »

Our town Pandacan will be one of the recipients of mobile day care vans donated by former senator Vicente Paterno, according to Mayor Lim. The vans cost about Php150,000 each and are properly equipped with learning materials like books, school supplies, a video player and a television set.

Snippet from Manila.gov.ph: In thanking the former senator, Lim said: “Buo ang respeto sa bayan, isa si Sen. Vicente Paterno sa mga dating lingkod ng pamahalaan na kahit wala na sa gobyerno ay patuloy pa ring tumutulong sa nakararami nating kababayan.”

Maraming salamat po former senator Vicente Paterno!

Brownout in Pandacan, and Manila

[UPDATE Jul. 15, 2010] Power has been restored at around 1AM Thursday

———–

[Original Post: Jul. 14, 2010 10:40 AM] Do you have power in your area? Portions of Pandacan and Manila still do not have power after Typhoon Basyang hit northern Luzon yesterday (Tuesday, July 13, 2010).

Other parts of Metro Manila are still suffering from brownout, like here in Makati where this blogger is writing this post.

In some parts of Luzon: “…Electricity at Canlubang substation, San Pablo, Los Baños, Trese Martires, Tagaytay, and General Mariano Alvarez substations, however, are back to normal…” Source: Sunstar

Yesterday, elementary classes were suspended.

Manila 50 Years Ago

18 Comments »

Circa 1960′s. Manila was clean; not over-crowded; simple, yet elegant; Manilenyos were disciplined. In short, Manila was beautiful.

The following “Old Manila” photos and the original captions were forwarded by “a simple Pinoy overseas who loves his dear old Pilipinas… ” via emails, and we thought of sharing them with you, as a sort of tribute to our City and its residents during Manila Day. We had to scale down the photos since these are not our property.

First picture was before the ’60′s Old Manila. The environment was still very clean during that time. Based on the oldmobiles, Studebakers, Buicks & Pontiacs, I must have been about 10 years old at that time. 1953 Ford on the street going through Jones Bridge leading to Binondo…

Enjoy, and Happy Manila Day ….
