I found the following article in http://msc.edu.ph. Apparently, it's the work of students as a case study or project. The highlighting is mine. San Pablo was originally known as Sampaloc, they got the name San Pablo from their patron saint. It was founded by Agustinian Fathers, who in 1794, ceded its administration to this apostolic province of St. Gregory, taking possesion on April 4 (my birthdate) of the same year, being apponted as its first Franciscan Parish Priest Rev. Father Friar Andres Cabrera. |

This is Sampalok Lake at night
I rode my bike down these steps a couple of times about 20 years ago!

Every year, in the afternoon of Good Friday during the Holy Week, the residents of San Pablo City come out on the streets and attend a procession where life-size statues of Christian icons are paraded around the main roads. The following pictures were taken on March 21, 2008.
When the sun goes down, the procession starts. People throng around and crowd the streets.

The fiesta is celebrated in a week-long event with street dancing and general merry-making thru the wee hours of the night. This video was taken in January of 2007. The main street - Rizal Avenue, was hardly passable except for a few motorbikes, and even then their riders had to duck-walk their bikes on many portions of the street as the crowds were particularly plentiful that night. |

Does anyone know the real/official name of that delicious ulam we call "kulawo"? I'd also like to challenge you to share your recipe for this amazingly zesty and healthy dish, in English please!
Here's my version using eggplants instead of the heart of banana: |

About SanPabloCity
A great man once said, "Be a lotus." Which means, no matter how ugly, how evil, and how sinful everyone around you might become, do not allow yourself to be stained. A lotus remains beautiful even as it lingers in the filthy waters of the pond. Don't be contaminated, do not be influenced by worthless means, remain radiant among the shadows of darkness. Be a lotus. It has to start with one, to fill the pond with more.
