Ma. Isabel Ongpin

I LIVE in Mandaluyong off Shaw Boulevard. I need to avoid EDSA as much as possible so I turn into Mandaluyong’s side streets to get me where I have to be. My favorite is Barangka Drive because while it gets me to Makati and back, I feel like I am not in the big city of malls and huge edifices but in a small community of individual souls walking the streets, making a living, being themselves. It makes for an interesting trip.
