Can you guess where at SM Marikina is this?














Marikeno are known for their Graffiti, themes are Education, Environment and the like.



When I was a kid, I always wanted to see those carabao along the river. It was my first time to see them up close.

Marikina are known for using bicycle as alternative mode of transportation. I think Mayor Bayani Fernando was the promoter of this.






Spotted couple having their dates at the Riverbanks, this was commonly scene from the place.



Riverbanks also a place where you can see locals doing Skateboarding.



At first, I really don't know how to shoor them. Suddenly as I pointed out my camera to them, a kid says "ui umaayos kayo kinukunan tayo", and then continouly shot them as I think I have the permission right away.
