On display are photographs taken of people, places and events in Malabon by members of the Nayon Photography Club, a camera club for hobbyists based in Intramuros, Manila.
Many of the scenes are familiar - such as the churches, old houses, fishponds and Malabon specialities. But some are not - such as the Artex Compound, as I've never been there. In all, the exhibit gives excellent photographic highlights of our city. It's also a wonderful way to begin the month-long celebration that culminates in our beloved hometown's "birthday" on May 21st.
The "MALABON'S BEST" Photo Exhibit runs until May 22, 2011.
