Magallanes-Maragondon Bridge
Being close to Manila, the province of Cavite is highly urbanized, especially in the lowland districts of Bacoor, Imus, and Dasmariñas. But the upland portion of the province is still very much rural and one can enjoy the beauty of lush nature on a road trip.
Magallanes and Maragondon are two of those upland municipalities that still enjoys the beauty of nature. The Maragondon river becomes a natural border between these towns where a concrete bridge connects them. This photo was taken during the wet season so heavy rains created a downpour on the Maragondon river which takes in muddy waters to the southern opening of the Manila Bay.
Slowly being turned into a huge chunk of commercialized cities, the province of Cavite has been a big facade of land use change. In just the past few decades, it transformed so much of the rain-forests and agricultural lands into residential and commercial areas for development. I just hope they can spare up a few towns, such as Magallanes and Maragondon and let it be lungs to the congested body parts of the province.
Beautiful Place!

DeleteIt is the same everywhere SQ, but as you say as long they remember to keep the green spaces, the lungs of the city are essential for well being..
ReplyDeleteVery well said Grace, development these days should be measured not just through financial capability and power but also sustainability and co-existence :)
