    Very cool shoe art exhibit at OTTO. I just saw another vlog that explained that during the pandemic, since no one could go to work at the shoe manufacturers, they were getting rid of the shoe forms, many of which were historic (from when the businesses began), and were even burning them. The woman in the vlog felt like this was such a shame and she found a way to repurpose them to greater benefit. Instead, they were turned into art works and sold in order to provide for the needs of people in the community, who couldn't work and provide for themselves during the pandemic. Just another beautiful example of the creativity of Filipinos and of bayanihan and kapwa.❤❤❤

    My son and his wife lived there for 10 years before coming home to Cebu before the pandemic. I’m glad you featured it because it’s definitely a city other LGUs should emulate, The LGU there even has someone picking up used cooking oil from households every week and they somehow re-use it to run, I think, their waste management machines.

Our drainage and our roads are also well maintained before the storm will hit us. Also our river is clean too that make us inspiration and pattern to neighboring city. We pay taxes and we have trust in our own government. We have lots to be proud of as marikeños.

    Kulas for all haircut that you have done in the Philippines . This is the best hair cut that match on your personality. Looking good on you. Sometime's it is not because how expensive is the price and modeled barber shop it is. It depends upon how experience the barber's is. Good luck on your trip together with Kumar,just keepsafe and takecare. Lucky to have Therine as your wife. You are blessed to have her.

    Marikina is quite huge. There are so many barangays. Each Barangay is unique. There's also lots of hills there which were developed and turned to residential, industrial, posh villages etcetera. The ones you got into was a small old barangay with small houses situated near the river banks. All in all living condition in Marikina is very very peaceful and orderly. The former Mayor BF instilled discipline into the majority of Marikenyos.

    Hey, I've been a long-time subscriber from the beautiful city of Marikina. We're proud Marikenians, and our city is known for being very clean. It was all thanks to our beloved ex-Mayor Bayani Fernando, who tragically passed away while fixing his roof. We always go to that restaurant on Sundays. When you come back to Marikina, I'd love to meet up with you and Therine. Actually, the barbers who gave you a haircut are my cousins, and we live just a few blocks away from them.
    Marikina used to be a shoe factory town, but now there are a lot of great restaurants popping up and thriving. If you ever come here, you should try some of our famous foods like Macy's goto, the everlasting, and waknatoy.

    Marikina Heights have been my childhood home. We moved out in December 2015 and since then I've been depressed. I wish I could return and buy a decent house there one day with my parents because I've always wanted to retire there because it's so peaceful, the sidewalks are wide, streets are clean, lots of trees and now there are various cafés and restaurants. Marikina will always be a commuter town/bedroom community. The perennial floods though are the only problem. Although in our area in Marikina Heights, we never experienced flooding in our more than 20 years of living there.

    During Bayani Fernando's tenure, Marikina underwent a remarkable transformation that I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand. Having lived in the city both before and after his leadership, I can attest to the significant improvements he brought about. The current administration, while focused on maintaining these developments, has not quite reached the same level of excellence and innovation that characterized Fernando's era. It's clear to me that while the city continues to function, the dynamic and visionary changes that once set Marikina apart have not been fully realized under the current leadership.
