“Tondo was a bayan,” added SJ. He went to give examples, Bayan ng Antipolo, Bayan ng Laguna… bayanis a term Filipinos use in referring to a town or even one’s entire country. SJ went to describe how large Tondo was even back then. For that, I urge readers to one day join his tour. An early recorded definition of bayan can be found in the Vocabulari...

But as noon approached, the summer sun rose higher, and I found myself slowly confronted with the heat, as well as hunger. Fortunately one of the final stops of the tour involved a 100-year-old bakeshop. At Liberty Bakery, SJ introduced us to Dr. Mary An...
The tour would end at Tutuban mall not too far from the Bonifacio monument where we started. There we would be introduced to another structure that is about 130 years old, and was a crucial hub for economic activity in Luzon: the Tutuban railway station. The station was the start and end of the Manila-Dagupan line, which brought goods and people ba...
I left out so many details, mainly because so much knowledge, trivia, and historical insight was shared within the 3 hours of the tour. How do we know Tondo is the oldest documented bayan in the Philippines? What do the small details and designs on the facade of the Liberty bakery represent? What was Recto Ave once called, and what was its signific...
