The boys from Angono, Rizal are going to be sponsoring a ride around their historic place on Saturday, July 14. Too bad I won’t be able to join because of a prior commitment. I was looking forward to this trip because Angono is such a treasure in our area (I grew up in the Rizal area too, in the now modern Marikina).
Here’s a peek of what’s happening that day.
Hep Hep.. Hooray! Hep Hep.. Hooray!
