The old hometown no longer looks the same!
I heard that from out-of-towners not too long ago.
Well said and there is probably just a slight exaggeration to that, if any.
Stand right where the old slaughter house is and turn your head towards the magnificent Mt Malindang,
what you see are concrete houses, brightly painted, air-conditioned, with beautiful fences, paved and covered carport lined on both sides of a concrete road that reaches as far as your eyes can see.
The same can be said for the adjacent baranggays, Palayan, Lobogon and baranggays along the national highway.
Spare some time, visit outlying baranggays, again concrete houses, painted, paved and covered car port and I forgot to mention earlier, TV and WIFI antennas and satellite dishes, they can't be hidden from sight.
Often times when I drive around, motorists in their Toyota Fortuner, Montero Sports, Isuzu MUX, Ford Everest, pickups and sedans of varying make and model,
I know they are trying to greet me, they honk two times, they can easily recognize me, I'm the only one driving a blue multi-cab with
WWW.ALORAN.ORG front-marking.
Of course I return the greetings, but do I know them?
No, too many.
In fact there are carports I noticed with two, three cars in it, cars parked on the sidestreet, some car-owners don't have space for a carport, and though there are still empty carports I see, with the rate of progress I'm seeing, these would be taking occupants soon.
I visited some homes and true to what I was expecting, flat, wide smart TV, Internet routers, ref with inverter, washer and dryer.
And while my hosts were charging their iPhones, we were having coffee, brewed of-course, and boy, do I love imports?
If you are into fad, gourmet coffee and tea, burgers, sandwiches, traditional cuisine, classic sikwate, the ever-popular Silog series, Chinese, fried and greasy stuffs and some others that I can't even pronounce - Drips, Tskoppee, Hollander are sure to cater your craving.
For the more adventurous, there is Pungko-pungko and carenderias just about everywhere.
