When I go on vacation, I take pictures of the place and post them on my site http://homepage.mac.com/tanacm/Philippines

From time to time, I get emails asking for more details on about the place. Unfortunately, some of them I can't answer because I'm not paying too much attention to them while I was enjoying the place.

I'll try add more details but in the meantime, I'll post here questions I received and try to answer those that I can.

Part of Marikina's vision of becoming a "Little Singapore" is promoting Marikina as a center for arts, culture, sports and tourism in the Eastern Metropolitan and Rizal. To support that vision, Marikina has a new venue for arts and cultural exhibitions - Teatro Marikina.

Teatro Marikina is an impressive structure located at Shoe Ave., San Roque, Marikina City. We were not able to get in when we visited so I don't have pictures inside. I'll make sure I take some pics and make it available in my future post.

World of Butterflies, Marikina City

Marikina is a bustling city and pride itself as being a "Little Singapore" and it really is keeping up with the name. As part of Marikina's vision of environmental care and eco-tourism, it developed a butterfly farm or what is popularly known as the "World of Butterflies".

Getting there is easy for us. It's actually just a few blocks away from our home. The "World of Butterflies" is located near a school and some garden farms which are familiar sights in Marikina. I remember we bought some plants in this same garden farm which is in front of the "World of Butterflies" which was just a vacant lot then.

Where In The Philippines is This Place?

Yes, where in the Philippines is this place? Look at the image real close. Closer. Closer.

Yup, you guessed it right! It's in Cubao! It's a new mall in Araneta Center, called The Gateway Mall. I'm not sure when it actually opened, I just heard it from my friend, Lei, that Cubao is now a great place to visit. So we did.

As my good friend Arnold will put it, It's the Best!

I don't how many times I uttered the words "Ang ganda" (it's beautiful) while wewere strolling the mall. But Lei said, "a lot!".
