Police Station 10 Kamuning (QCPD)

The Kamuning Police Station or Police Station 10 is located along EDSA in between the corner of Kamuning Road and K-3rd Street and with tel. nos. (02) 921-7919 or (02) 924-1025.

Location Map:

The Kamuning Police Station is headed by Superintendent Marcelino Pedrozo, Jr. and you can text him thru cell no. (Globe) 0917-5325460, yes you can directly text him and report any crime incident! And this is in part of the Q.C. Police Department's campaign efforts to reduce crime in Q.C.

The campaign actually started last June 2012 where 12 Q.C. station commanders, including Supt. Pedrozo,  visited public & private schools, gave away their contact mobile numbers, and encouraged students, teachers, and parents to report crime.  These police station commanders want to assure the students that they are actively involved in keeping peace and order in our communities.

Personally, I think this was a good move on the part of QCPD, it's about time they do something about their "image" (which is, most of the time, associated with "kotong" and other irregularities) and I just hope that they will follow thru with quality police service. :)

Below is the complete list of mobile contact numbers for the 12 QCPD's station commanders:

•     Station 1, La Loma, Supt. Lino Banaag  – 0917-5325397

People of Grace Christian School

 

People of Grace Christian School is a private school that offers kindergarten up to high school education and is in partnership with AMA Computer Learning Center (AMACLC).  The school is located at no. 58 Kamuning Road corner Judge Jimenez Street, Barangay Kamuning, Quezon City, with telephone number (02) 928-1842 and email address christian.pogs@gmail.com.

History of the School (Source: http://bizshowcase.eyp.ph/peopleofgrace#cp):

Pastor Joey O. Tupe and his wife, Amy A. Tupe, pastors of People of Grace Fellowship, established a preschool in a garage in K-7th Street, Kamuning, in 1984, to help the children come to know Christ as Savior and Lord, and to learn to read, write, and do arithmetic. They wanted the children in the neighborhood to have confidence that they could do well in school, and continue on all the way to college. Upon entering the first grade, one child received “700” for his first weeks quizzes, (all 100). His teachers were happy that he could read and copy correctly what was written on the board!

In 1988, the congregation purchased the former Mylen Theater on Kamuning Road and expanded the educational mission to include an elementary school, and eventually a high school. The school was fully recognized by the Department of Education in 2005. In 2011, we partnered with AMA Computer Learning Center to offer certificate courses in computer and this 2012, we are planning to construct a multi-storied building for upgrading and expansion of our facilities...

Lagarian Creek in Kamuning

Old Lagarian (Diliman) Creek - Bridge (1950s)

 (Sampaloc Avenue now Tomas Morato Avenue)

I've been living in Kamuning since birth and for a very long time I only referred to the Lagarian Creek as "sapa" (Tagalog term for "creek"), as in "sapa sa K-6th... never knew what it was called and never really bothered to find out.

During the early years (like in the photo shown above) small bodies of flowing water like creeks, streams,  and brooks attract people as it signify life - a source of food and livelihood.  Early Filipinos go to creeks to take a bath, wash their clothes, clean their animals and other water-related activities.

Today, because of the foul smell coming from the creek, you wouldn't plan on going near it unless you have to.  Though for some Kamuning residents (like the ones shown in the photo below), the smell and the garbage don't seem that disturbing or maybe they just gotten used to it. 

Part of Lagarian Creek - Bernardo Park Area

(view from the steel footbridge)

(Also a view from the steel footbridge facing EDSA)

Lagarian Creek - View from EDSA

Here are some Lagarian Creek Trivias:

• Did you know that there is an environmentalist group called LACREA (founded in 1996), short for Lagarian Creek Environmental Association Inc., whose primary goal is to restore &/or rehabilitate the Lagarian Creek system in Quezon City? 

• Did you know that our Lagarian creek is connected to the creeks found in Roxas District, Philam, Project 3, Ateneo de Manila University, Miriam College, Project 8, Mindanao Avenue, and Tandang Sora?

• Did you know that our Lagarian creek is also connected to San Juan River which is connected to Pasig River which is connected to the Manila Bay? 

• Did you know that it is also connected to the the major rivers found in Paco, Quiapo, Binondo, Divisoria, Makati, Taguig, Potrero and to Laguna de Bay?

Get a hold of a map and you'll see. (".)

Lagarian Creek - Bridge (Judge D. Jimenez Street area)

That's all I have to write about this seemingly abandoned creek.  Though I still want to know why it was named "LAGARIAN"... send me a message if you know why it was named as such okay?

Have a nice weekend!

Bernardo Park in Kamuning

The Bernardo Park is one of the many known places/landmarks in Kamuning. It was a park constructed during the tenure of former Quezon City Mayor Ponciano A. Bernardo, who served from 1947 until his death in 1949. (The park was later named after him).  It was also during Bernardo’s term when Quezon City was shortly designated as the Capital City of the Philippines in lieu of Manila.

The old Bernardo Park (late 1940’s) – View from EDSA

Bernardo Park Today (2012) – View from EDSA

During the 1950’s & 1960’s, Bernardo Park was one of the beautiful places to see in Quezon City, a place to go for a picnic, biking, skating, or sight-seeing.  My Nanay used to tell me the park was so popular then that a number of scenes from the movies of Sampaguita Pictures were filmed there.

As a child (late 70’s & early 80’s), Bernardo Park for me is a place to play >> ride a bike, skate, and go back & forth crossing the old bridge (as a challenge thing ^_^).  There was also the basketball court and across is the location of the swimming pool where they offer “free learn to swim” programs every year.  (I remember me and my cousins enrolled in that swimming program for three consecutive summers, with “Sir Luna” as our swimming coach :)).

Bernardo Park - 2012

Today, the biking/skating area of the park is now half its former size, the other half is a basketball covered court, and new mini-park picnic area was constructed on the other side of the Lagarian creek.

The mini-park on the other side of the creek 

(There used to be statues of animals here, with the big black carabao as my favorite. ^_^)

The Lagarian Foot Bridge 

The walkway of the foot bridge used to be made of wood where you can see through the creek beneath, now its sheets of metal.  The steel side railings seem to be the same original railings I used to hold on to as a child.

View of the mini-park from the foot bridge & part of lagarian Creek

The big boulders of adobe rock today  (also a part of the old original Bernardo Park).

The entrance to Bernardo Park along EDSA on the side of Ramon Magsaysay High School.

The steel gate to this pathway is always closed so you can enter the park via the basketball court near the foot bridge.

Rehabilitation efforts were made a couple of years ago to save Bernardo park. Renovations and constructions were made to make it still look inviting to nearby residents, but personally I wouldn't go there for leisure walks as vagrants (palaboys, homeless, etc.) seem to be always present whenever I pass through the area.

Now I only love the park for the good old memories they bring me.

Sacred Heart Parish Church

The Sacred Heart Parish (SHP) Church is really very special to me, it is where my family and I go to attend the holy mass. When I was young, I’ve attended and completed a number of “Simbang Gabi” here.  I was married in this church and all my 3 children were baptized here also.  This church has been a significant part of my life ever since I can remember.

Front facade of SHP facing Sct. Ybardolaza Street
and Image of Sacred Heart of Jesus found on the right side area of the main altar. 

Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes with St. Bernadette found on the corner of Sct. Ybardolaza & Sct. Fernandez Streets, facing SHP Church.

St. Joseph MIssion Center found on the opposite corner of the grotto. 

(at the corner of Sct. Ybardolaza and Sct. Fuentebella Streets)

The Church’s History (from Wikipedia.org):

“The Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish - Kamuning is a Catholic parish in the Kamuning District of Quezon City in the Philippines. It was established on October 3, 1941. The parish has been in the pastoral care and administration of the Society of the Divine Word since even before its founding. Kamuning was a government housing project of then Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel Luis Quezon.

The Society of the Divine Word (SVD) was founded on September 8, 1875 by St. Arnold Janssen in Steyl, Netherlands. The SVD is one of the largest Ad Gentes Catholic religious male congregations in the world.

Kamuning, formerly known as Barrio Obrero II, was a housing project site for government employees and their families. Late in 1939, the Kamuning Residents’ Association sought pastoral care from the Society of the Divine World (SVD). The First Mass was celebrated where the Kamuning Public Market now stands, on that year’s Christmas Eve.

In the early 1940’s, the parish boundaries reached as far east toward Loyola Heights and westward up to the Mabuhay Rotonda. About a year later, on October 1, 1941, the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish was established, and it has been in the care of the SVD missionaries since then. Today, the parish covers five barangays – Kamuning, Sacred Heart, South Triangle, Kristong Hari, Kalusugan, and part of Obrero.”
