20/365: When In IloIlo: Photo Tour – Road Trip To Molo

Today’s destination is Molo!
Molo is one of the seven districts of Iloilo City.  It was built by Spaniards and was formerly called the Parian (Chinatown) due to its large number of Chinese residents and their business establishments in the area at the time. 
Its name was later changed to Moro during the frequent arrival of Muslim pirates from Mindanao until it later evolved into Molo. Molo was a town before it was absorbed by Iloilo City during its charter in 1937. (Source: Wikipedia)
For those who knew me better you probably know what is my particular target when I do visit a town.  But before we talk about that let me give you first another tour through these photos taken during my road trip to Molo.   Again most photos are taken while I’m on a speeding vehicle.

On the way to Molo…

The ANGELICUM SCHOOL and the LIZAREZ MANSION
The Angelicum school is a private Catholic school inside the compound of the LIZAREZ MANSION  located at Tabuc Suba, Jaro Iloilo City.  It is built in 1937 by Don Emiliano Lizarez for his family.

This is one of the most elegant structure in Iloilo City - a combination of Spanish and American architecture.  What I remember about this place is that it is such a huge attraction during the Christmas season because of its magnificent holiday lights.

SM CITY ILOILO – located at Sen Benigno Aquino Jr. Avenue, Jaro West Diversion Road, Mandurriao District, Iloilo City and considered as the biggest shopping mall in Western Visayas.

Remember the small Bibingka in my “must eat food list in Iloilo” post?  Well this is where that photo is taken.
Yes this is the shameless me eating like a glutton just outside the church which is the main reason for this road trip.  The Bibingka is just a “side temptation” ha ha!

Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children

“this place will break your heart, will make you cry, will make you want to reach out, and will make you feel grateful & thankful, all at the same time…”   They are located at: 1030 Tayuman Street, Tondo, Manila. Their telephone number is (+632) 255-0832 and the contact person is Sister Anselm. I wrote that caption in this same season last year, my first time to visit a place called “Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children”.  I was with a  group of friends along with our respective families.  I could never be thankful enough to our friend Rupert and his family for leading us to this place.  It was not my first time to do a charity visit to an orphanage and I sort of wonder why we were “brief” that this is for special children.  I only realized what that briefing is about when I see for myself how “special” these children are.  I apologize if this may not sound good to some, but the sight of the sick children is heartbreaking.  I tried to look tough and not to

Go Kart at SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex

I’m doing my usual morning run at the SM Mall of Asia bay side when I spotted this area.  It kind of caught me by surprise seeing this area as colorful and lively because I remember during my last run, this area is used to be surrounded with iron sheets coverings, the same thing when there’s something being constructed inside the coverings.  And then I remembered that I had a short break from my morning run.  It seems like this activity is launched while I was on short break from my morning run.   As usual, every time I see something new that looks exciting, I am excited to share the info to you all.  So for those who are into cars and driving, this one’s for you! “Go Kart” !
