Batch 35: Gandang Palengke (Market Beauty)

Our very own Mutya Ng Pasig Public Market is one of city's pride as it has evolved into one of the best wet and dry market in the country. It is a three-storey building with a total floor area of 19,475 square meters that carries almost 2, 500 fixed stalls and on weekends adds some more close to 3,000 small stalls for flea market day. In the western side of the market is the iconic Pasig Revolving Restaurant that today serves as the market's office.

Batch 34: Intramuros: “City Within The Walls”

Sharing what I got beyond the lens on memory lane during my half-day photo walk (August 27) with Ahlie and our eldest son, Cid. 

INTRAMUROS

Intramuros, located along the southern bank of the Pasig River, was built by the Spanish in the 16th century and is the oldest district of the city of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Its name, taken from the Latin, intra muros, literally "Within the walls", meaning within the wall enclosure of the city/fortress, also describes its structure as it is surrounded by thick, high walls and moats. During the Spanish Period, Intramuros was considered Manila itself. Our history magnified and glorified here in Fort Santiago.

 I used a borrowed Nikon D60 in these photos, my first time to lay a hand on a different brand of DSLR. It was kind of challenging at start but I was able to enjoy the learning curve.
