WHAT ONCE WAS


Pasig River, circa 1899. Do you know that Pasig River's floating market antedated Bangkok's version by several decades? Because even if Bangkok's canals were dug in 1866 on the orders of the King, the floating markets started only in 1967.


Pasig River today. Don't be blinded by the lovely sunset.
