  • bakit kaya round table? it's not even round...
  • ang lugar na yan ay dating circle o may rotonda... may mga restaurant at kainan dyan na tambayan ng mga taxi at jeepney driver... isa sa mga pangalan ng restaurant ay "round table"... mula noon at hanggang ngayon ay yun na ang naging kilalang tawag, lalo na ng mga jeepney driver...
  • Nice info, parag bangkero. I guess that answers why its also known as "round table."
  • yup, parag's right, during the 1970's there was a restaurant located along Orosa street named Round Table, it was so famous that the name stuck long after it closed down & was demolished.
