One interesting fact that many people may not know about Caloocan City is that it is one of the few cities in the Philippines that is physically divided into two separate parts: North Caloocan and South Caloocan . These two sections are not connected to each other because parts of the original city became part of Quezon City during its expansion in the mid-1900s.
Another fascinating fact is that Caloocan is often called the "Hero City" because of its important role in the Philippine Revolution . The famous Bonifacio Monument stands there, commemorating Andrés Bonifacio and the revolutionary movement against Spanish rule. The monument, created by Guillermo Tolentino, is considered one of the finest monuments in the country.
Caloocan is believed to have come from the Tagalog words "lo-ok" (bay) or "sulok" (corner), reflecting either its location near a former lagoon or its position at the edge of neighboring towns during the Spanish era.
Caloocan isn't just a busy Metro Manila city, it's where important chapters of Philippine history unfolded and where one of the country's most iconic monuments stands.
Another fun fact about me. I was born in the South, but my entire life was in the North. 😍😍😍

❤️ My beloved city, Rose Hill in Mauritius❤️🇲🇺
Rose Hill is more than just a city to me, it's home. A place filled with memories, diversity, and a strong sense of community that has shaped who I am.
One of the landmarks I cherish most is the Plaza Theatre. Standing proudly in the heart of Rose Hill since its inauguration in 1933, it has been a symbol of culture, art, and creativity for over 90 years. Generations of Mauritians have passed through its doors to enjoy plays, concerts, films, and unforgettable performances.
What I love most about Rose Hill is its unique atmosphere, the bustling streets, the familiar faces, and the feeling that no matter how much things change, this city will always feel like home.
No matter where life takes me, Rose Hill will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️🇲🇺

My "Barrio"
I've lived practically my entire life in the El Pensil neighborhood, a suburb of the small city of Puerto La Cruz, in eastern Venezuela 🇻🇪
Always in this neighborhood. My parents' families are from the same town, but they migrated to my neighborhood in the 1960s. I was born and raised here, spending my early years in a small house and later in the apartment where I currently live (my parents' apartment).
When I graduated from university, I moved and lived for two years in an apartment in the city center, about a 20-minute walk from my neighborhood. But then a bad streak hit me: I broke my leg, had surgery, lost my girlfriend and my job, sold my car, and had no choice but to return to my parents' apartment.
