Today I biked again to the popular religious pilgrim destination.  Traffic was a little bit slow and there was a big crowd at the church yard this morning (I reached the church in a record time of 35 minutes down from the usual 40 to 45 minutes.)

Lo and behold the bikers could again park anywhere near the entrance of the church.  The parking only at the southern side of church was no longer in force.

What could be the reason?

The bikers whom I found near the entrance advanced the explanation that probably the parish leadership realized the high cost of the bike that could be lost, or stolen, in case the bikers keep their eyes off their bike in the designated areas.  We could not be careful this days.  In this hard times

 Sculpture at the plaza about "Tayo na sa Antipolo"

 Tarp for Antipolo Festival which starts today.

There is no work today so I biked today to Antipolo City.  I started out at a about 6:55 and was in Antipolo City by 7:40.  I expected a huge crowd to be there.  It was not so. Maybe because it was hot.
 Maybe on weekends, there will be more visitors. 

 Before, huge crowd, coming from Manila starting out at midnight of April 30 jam the streets.  And there is a overcrowding and trash.  Maybe it was so last night
