the pilgrimage city

Area/Scope of Field Work

Antipolo City

The City on the mountain ridges east of Manila

where the sun begins to shine.

The City whose name was derived from the

Tipolo trees growing indigenously on its land….

Trees with broad leaves that provide shade while

gently fanning in the soothing breeze.

Antipolo, the city of pilgrims and

contemplatives, tourists and traders, artists and

artisans.

Insights and Reflection

Antipolo is a spill-over of Metro Manila.

Anything goes in Antipolo.

Urbanization is in-evitable but political will is

needed to prevent or mitigate its ill-effects.

The Ynares political dynasty is dominant in

Antipolo.

Religiosity is personal. Devotees or pilgrims

have no concern about what is happening to

Antipolo.

Economy is dependent largely in tourism.

Added are the factories and industries that

could not be accommodated in Metro Manila.

Tayo na sa Antipolo

At doon maligo tayo

Sa batis na kung tawagin ay hi-hi…

Hinulugan Tatak

At doon tayo’y kumain ng mangga, suman,

cashew at balimbing

Kaya’t magmadali ka

Tayo ay tutuloy na

sa Antipolo

Salamat po!Terima Kasih!

Thank you!
