Marikina City: A Good Haven Amidst Metro Manila

 

          Marikina City is one of the cleanest towns in our country. It is known as the shoe capital of the Philippines. Because you can find here the factory of some of the biggest shoe manufacturers like Rusty Lopez, Otto Shoes, Gibi and many more. They also claimed that their town people are well disciplined and law abiding citizen. In Marikina, they have a city ordinance that prohibiting pits off in public places. They are also strict to their traffic rules and from jaywalking. So, if you’re there, you need to be aware about their regulations if you don’t want to pay a penalty and to do community service.

          Marikina is also popular to their sports complex. Many sport activities doing here like the sport fest of high school and college students. But it’s not only for sports; even religious sects are welcome to organize prayer rallies and charities like Iglesia ni Cristo’s Kabayan Ko, Kapatid Ko. 
Tambay Kay Lim Park
         When you’re in Marikina,you could relax and standby at Tambay kay Lim. It is near at Marikina Polytechnic College. Then, if you want, go also to the nearest park near at the Marikina Sports Complex. You could browse on the internet because they have a free wi-fi. Of course, if you want, you may visit also Marikina River Park and see its beautiful landscape. But don’t go if there’s a storm because it might overflow. That park was first developed by former Mayor Bayani Fernando during early 90’s. Just feel the fresh air while you’re contemplating in the midst of silence. You may also look for janitor fish for you to see an ugly fish. When you’re hungry, there are some restaurants there. So, you could make your order. But I think, they are only open at night. If you’re going at day make sure to bring your own food.

          Speaking of the restaurant, if you want a historical place that serves food, you may visit also Kapitan Moi. It is located at the front of the San Roque Church. If I’m not mistaken, kapitan Moi is the father of the shoe industry in Marikina. By the way, San Roque Church is a unique cathedral because there is a statue of Angel Gabriel defying Lucifer. A symbol of good versus evil; evilness will never be triumph over goodness.

                 There city hall is also an attraction to the public because they are displaying giant shoe and sandal car. This is only showing that they are very proud of their shoe industry although it was already weakened due of globalization. What else? Marikina is also a family oriented city because they have a festival Kaangkan Festival. So, if you have a time just visit Marikina City and you will be enjoyed.

Anak, pinagtataga ang nanay dahil sa Social Amelioration Program

Marami ang di makakuha ng tulong ng DSWD o tinatawag na Social Amelioration Program dahil di sila kuwalipikado na makakuha. Umalma na maging ang nasa middle class, bakit di raw sila kasali gayung apektado rin sila. Ngunit di lahat nang nakakakuha ng SAP ay pinapalad. Katulad ng isang 59-anyos na nanay na napaslang nang sarili niyang anak dahil dito. Ayon sa ulat, nanghingi diumano ng pera na ang 34-anyos na anak sa nanay nito. Pero nang hindi ito napagbigyan ay pinagtataga niya ito. Nangyari ang krime sa Rosario, La Union. Sabi ng pulisya, may deprensya diumano ang lalaki at nakainom pa ng alak.

Ngayong panahon ng krisis marami ang dumadaing na hindi pa sila nakatatanggap ng ayuda mula sa gobyerno. Ang iba naman, nakatanggap nga pero kulang na kulang. Hindi nila alam kung paano pagkakasyahin sa buong pamilya ang natanggap na ayuda. Sa haba ba naman ng quarantine na 'di makapaghanapbuhay. Talagang gutom ang aabutin mo. Viral ngayon sa social media ang video na unang inupload ng kapatid ng netizen na si Alfredo Rodil mula sa Brgy. Pag-ibig sa Nayon, Quezon City. Kitang-kita sa CTTV na naglalagay ng relief goods sa mga upuan sa labas ng mga bahay-bahay. Pagkatapos magpakuha ng litrato ay bigla na lang binawi ang ayuda. Kaya gayun na lang ang kanilang pagkadismaya dahil sa inasal ng mga taga-barangay. Umani ng iba't ibang reaksyon ang naturang pangyayari. Anila'y parang nasa game show na may Laban o Bawi.
