  • I was born and raised in Little Baguio, San Juan and lived here until I was about 25 years old. I consider it the most beautiful City in Metro Manila. Big old Spanish-time homes still exist here. Famous landmarks include the Pinaglabanan Church, Santuario de Santo Cristo Church, Cardinal Santos Hospital, Greenhills Commercial Complex, the former channel 13 the highest tower at that time, Pres. Quirino Res., the former Waterous Gen. Hospital, Aquinas School, Dominican College, Xavier School, Immaculate Concepcion Church & Academy, the former gym where Ilorde used to work out, and many more. I believe that there is a lot of treasure to be found in many places beneath these place.
