Look: French family, naglakbay sa Marinduque gamit ang bisikleta

Isang pamilya ng Pranses ang naglakbay sa Marinduque sa pamamagitan lamang ng kanilang bisikleta. Makikita sa larawan na sakay ng bike ang mag-asawa samantalang nakaangkas naman ang kanilang mga supling. Makikita rin sa larawan na hila-hila ni msiter ang animo'y stroller kung saan nakasakay naman ang bunso nilang anak.





Beautiful and happy family, indeed!

Panoorin ang kwento ng tinaguriang ‘Marinduque massacre’

Ika-tatlumpo’t isa ng Disyembre taong dalawang libo at dalawa, bisperas ng bagong taon. Ang maingay at makulay na pagdiriwang ay hindi na nasilayan ng tatlong miyembro ng pamilya Vilar sa bayan ng Torrijos. Dumanak ang dugo sa loob ng kanilang bahay matapos silang tadtarin sa saksak. Ang isa sa mga biktima ginahasa pa.


Labintatlong taon na ang lumipas ng walang awang paslangin ang kambal na sina Rogelyn at Rodalyn pati na ang kanilang lola na si Eulogia Vilar. Nangyari ang lahat sa loob mismo ng kanilang tahanan sa Poctoy, Torrijos, Marinduque. Bakit nila sinapit ang madugong karahasan at sinu-sino ang nasa likod ng tinaguriang Marinduque Massacre?

Narito ang kwento:

Historic bridge of Murallon, Boac

Here’s the entry dedicated to Puente de Boac in the book “Puentes de Espana en las Filipinas,” by Manuel Maximo Lopez del Castillo – Noche (I wonder what this guy’s school ID looked like).


“Situated near the Catholic cemetery of Boac in Barangay Murallon, Puente de Boac is a single arched masonry bridge that spans one of the numerous tributaries of the Boac river. The bridge has been modified during the 1930’s, resulting in its road deck, particularly its supporting parapet wall, being finished in a row of concrete balusters. Only upon close inspection of the bridge can its Spanish period origin be evidently seen.

Unfortunately, nothing is mentioned about the bridge aside what little details the construction of the span provides. The bridge is 22.20 meters long with a 4.00 meter wide central arch. The semi-circular arch rises 2.70 meters above the creek and another 1.80 meters to the road deck. The width of the bridge is 6.50 meters with 0.30 meters, additional on both ends for the baluster railing.


The most interesting feature of Puente de Boac are probably its visible voussoir that line the other edge of the bridge’s arch. Compared to other bridges whose arch appears integrated with the overall masonry construction of the bridge, there is a distinct defining of the voussoirs in this bridge as opposed to the spandrel and abutment walls that line its edge. This definition show the distinct process of arch-making and the various elements that make up a sign, with the voussoirs showing the arch’s main structural framework and the spandrels and abutment providing filling and support.”
