M/ABC Wednesday

"Love"

M is for Mosaic Murals

These mosaic murals, called "Ang Pagbabago" (The Change), are installed along Roxas Boulevard near the zero-kilometer marker across the Rizal Park in Manila.  There are 4 of these mosaic murals--the other two are called "Unity" and "Prosperity".  The nearby marker says that these artworks represent the positive results achieved after the Filipinos have improved and reformed themselves as individuals and as a people.    The murals challenge and inspire viewers to keep on renewing themselves for the better.  The execution of these masterpieces is timely, as Filipinos today truly hunger for change.

D/ABC Wednesday

D is for Doorstep

There must be a door here a long time ago.  I could easily imagine children sitting or playing on the doorstep, or young girls having girl-talk---a reminder of a gentler time.  Built at the turn of the century, this is what remains of a beautiful mansion that was burned down by American and Filipino soldiers in 1942 to deflect the Japanese forces from establishing a headquarters here.  The Ruins in Talisay City has become a local attraction after the heirs cleaned up the property, and opened the place and garden as venue for parties and wedding reception.

Mellow Yellow Monday: Yellow door

From my archive---a yellow door with capiz at one of the old Spanish houses in Calle Crisologo in Vigan.  I hope somebody would remember the terrace was gone before stepping out of this door.

C/ABC Wednesday

Silay City Cathedral, Negros Occidental

C is for Cupola


In architecture, a cupola is a small, most often dome-like structure on top of a building.  Often used to provide a lookout or to admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger roof or dome.  Cupolas often appear as small buildings in their own right. They often serve as lantern, belfry or belvedere above a main roof.  In other cases, they may crown a tower, spire or turret.  C is also for church and cathedral.
