Its a holiday, so I decided to get down the cab and walk some few blocks towards home.. This is Yakal Street, I believe those who lives in Makati knows about this place. Just a simple street, just like anywhere in Manila.

I guess this sign should have said "No Parking, Carnap Zone"

And heres an Ironic Vandal...

"Buhay si Cristo" means "Christ is Alive".

Nope, thats not a junk shop... trucks like this still roam our roads,
now thats one reason why the streets are congested.. hehe

Did the Mellenio took the roof on this one? hmmm.. hehe

Nice set, Gelbert! I like your style of fine art meets street photography (?). To the viewers, take some time to look at his other pics of the same set in his gallery. Ayos din! (They're just as good!) :)
