Update: Sta. Clara de Montefalco Parish Church, Pasig City

I first time I took pictures of the Sta. Clara de Montefalco Parish Church in C. Raymundo Avenue, Pasig City back in April 2013. Back then, there are still no stained glass on its window frames, just G.I. sheets. Inside, tarpaulin prints of the pictures to be depicted are hang instead. Recently when I re-visited this church, the stained glass windows are complete and it’s very beautiful.

Take a look at these amazing stained glass windows, altar and wood carvings at the main door.

Sto. Rosario Church, Pasig City

I live in Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City and I work in Tera Tower, Bridgetowne, Libis, Quezon City. My mode of transportation is commute using tricyle and jeep. From Pinagbuhatan, I will ride a tricycle to Pasig Mega Market (Pasig Palengke) for P12. Then I will ride any jeep that goes to Angono, Binangonan and Taytay area. I will drop by at Tramo area of the Ortigas Avenue. From there, I will cross the road via overpass to the BDO and Metrobank side. From there, I will ride another jeep going to either Cubao or Crossing. Both routes would pass by the Iglesia ni Cristo besides the Bridgetowne.

I would always passed by the Sto. Rosario Church in Pasig City whenever I go to work. From work, I seldom pass by this church going home because I would simply walk from the Tera Tower and cross the bridge. I would then ride jeep going to Pasig Palengke via Tramo. However, during rainy season or morning rush hour, sometimes I would walk from the Rosario area all the way to BDO and Metrobank in Tramo passing by the Sto. Rosario Church.

In my almost 1.5 years working in Tera Tower, Bridgetowne, I visited the Sto. Rosario Church just once… just to take pictures. It’s not something out of the ordinary but it’s quite a landmark in Sto. Rosario, Pasig. It’s a regular chapel that has a very short area between the gate and the entrance to the church that is why I can’t take a better picture of the façade of the church. Here are my pictures of the church anyway.

Square Ville HOAI and the CMP (Part 2)

Two years ago, the president of Square Ville Home Owners Association Inc (HOAI), Rodolfo Rabang, reported the status of Square Ville’s application to the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC). He gave the following steps on how to have an individual lot title for Square Ville HOAI:

Filing of the subdivision plan to the Urban Poor Service Office (UPSO) of Pasig City
Background Investigation of the site (in Nagpayong, Pasig City)
Approval for Social Housing, through the SHFC
Segregation of land title to individual lot owners

I don’t know where the problem is, but it took two years to jump from Step #1 to #2. It’s only today that representatives of the SHFC visited the Square Ville HOAI in Nagpayong, Pasig City to conduct a Background Investigation, on the home owners. I don’t know whether the officers of Square Ville HOAI are not doing their job/voluntary work or it’s the SHFC that has a lot of backlog.

South Star Drug is the newest business establishment that opened its doors to residents of Square Ville Home Owners Association Inc in Nagpayong, Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City

The representatives of SHFC asked the home owners (as a group) the following questions:

Have you ever availed of the Community Mortgage Plan (CMP) before, in other places?
How many years are you residents of Nagpayong?
Why did it took so long before it was applied through CMP?
Are all home owners residing in these houses and not having it rented?
Do you have financial problems?
What’s the smallest and largest lot size in your association?
How much is the price per square meters?
How much are you paying monthly in your association (“butaw”)?
When is the schedule of your meeting? When was the last meeting?
Does your HOA issue receipts?
How many years is the term of your HOA officers?
Do you know your HOA officers? Who is the president?
Did you pay a survey fee?
How many are members of your Board of Directors?
Up to how many years is the loan? What’s the annual interest rate?

The officers of SHFC also pointed out that under CMP, “ang utang ng isa ay utang ng lahat”. They encouraged the home owners of Square Ville to pay our dues diligently. For those who happened to have a “katukayo” (similar name), they have to file an affidavit saying that they never availed of the CMP yet. They also required that the member should be 59 years old and below.

Here’s a quick facts about Square Ville HOAI and how much will it cost to pay for the lot:

Square Ville Home Owners Association, Inc is registered December 1, 2011 to the Housing Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) with Registration # 19156.
Land is owned by Sunny Realty Corporation and the total land area is 7,068 square meters. The total price of the whole area is P15.5 million pesos.
The price per square meter is at P2,200.
TCT# 011-2014002880 and TCT# 011-2014002864 covers the area.
There are 185 beneficiaries/family that lives in Square Ville, Nagpayong.
Makawili Jay C Foundation, Inc is the CMP Mobilizer of Square Ville. The said foundation is located at #2 Paquita St, Brgy Gulod, Novaliches, Quezon City with Epitacio R Magbiro as Chairman. (Note: I can’t find their website or even their Facebook page)
Square Ville HOAI will borrow P14.2 million pesos from the SHFC.
The monthly fee will be P685.30 and the interest is 6% per year.
The Officers of Square Ville HOAI are: Rodolfo D Rabang (President), Nenita D Regalado (Vice President), Chona C dela Cruz (Secretary), Josephine R Ultado (Treasurer) and Irish D Zapata (Auditor).

Hopefully, after today’s visit by the SHFC, the loan being asked by Square Ville HOAI will be granted in the soonest time possible so that each home owner will begin paying for their lot, which they’ve occupying for more than 20 years.

This is how slow and expensive it will take for squatters (informal settlers) to obtain the lot they’ve occupying, the legal way. I hope there’s a faster way.

441st Araw ng Pasig Celebration

The schedule for the 441st Araw ng Pasig Celebration were already posted on giant billboards in Tramo, Pasig City but it’s still not appearing on the Official Website of Pasig City nor on the Facebook pages of Mayor Maribel Eusebio or Bobby Eusebio.

The 441st Araw ng Pasig will be on July 2, 2014 and it will be a good photo-opp (photography opportunity). I hope I’m available on that date.

The Tourism Office of Pasig City is doing a lousy job in promoting this yearly activity.

The 13th Grand Bambino De Pasig Festival 2014 (Videos)

I’m so sorry for the late post of these videos I took of the most recent 13th Grand Bambino De Pasig Festival 2014. It was a nice festival – and it could have been better if there were some “boundaries” separating the participants and the spectators.

I hope to see a great improvement in how the Pasig City Government handles the 14th Grand Bambino De Pasig Festival 2015 next year.
