Assignment Number 10: Pasig's the Way to Go!


One boring long-weekend, Raffy and Jules decided to hit Binondo - Bea Alonzo-style.

Both of them realized that taking the Pasig River Ferry on a weekend is a bitch. They waited a good 45 minutes in a non-airconditioned terminal for the ferry to arrive. Then again, it was worth it because the boats are cool, literally and figuratively.

Going through the river, the surprising fact that greeted them was the presence of beautiful architecture along the banks. Houses, offices, and even run-down warehouses were all very interesting (they were strictly warned not to take photos of MalacaƱang Palace for "security purposes" pft!).

They got on at the Guadalupe dock and got off at the Escolta end, costing them P45 each and an all-you-can-walk adventure through Binondo after (to be featured in a different post).

For the airconditioning, watching kids bravely swim through the dark water and river plants (with the occasional and on-purpose flashing of their private parts at the passengers), and the interesting architecture, the Pasig River Ferry Cruise is a nice addition to your bored list. YOU GOTTA TRY IT ONCE!
