"Malabon's Best" Photo Exhibit

As part of the on-going celebration of Malabon's 412th year in existence with one decade of it as a city, a photo exhibit entitled "MALABON'S BEST" opened today at the Malabon City Hall Lobby.

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.
