in all events since the past.. just noticed that Angara Street cor Quezon Hiway or house of kuyang karding rivera is and most photographed place ever posted in batangbaler.. dami na rin anu?
Photo 24, Recto Street Cor Quezon Hiway, wala na pala yung vulcanizing shop ni ka met-tu flores. Dyan kami madalas nagpapa vulcanize nung araw..
salamat otoy sa update.. malaking bagay sa mga tiga baler na nasa malayung tulad ko..
kid, bakit wala yung zamora st? piktyuran mu rin at may kilala akong batangbaler nakalimutan kung nasan ang zamora st. hahahah...tabi po! heheheh...peace sayo kung sino ka man. hahahah...
ang sama pala ng baler pag sa picture anu puro bulok ang bahay hahaha!!!!!saka parang ang lungkot sa picture para 2loy dead city..
kid anong oras mo kinuha tong mga pictures mo. parang tanghaling tapat e. nakaparada mga nagpapasada saka konting tao sa daan. pero maraming salamat sa pictures mo pre kaso next time konting pictures naman ng sabang kung ok lang sa yo. sige tsong ty muli.
Maraming mga malalaking bahay nuun ay parang wala nang nakatira ngay-un. Nag-alisan baga sa Baler ang mga may-ari? Bakit kaya?
Kid, ayos ang mga kuha at direction nang mga lugar. Ang gandang tingnan nang mga kalsada,Sementado. Nagbago na nga ang Baler. Hindi ku na ma-alala iyung mga lugar at mga bahay. Balita ku nagkaroon daw nang malaking sunog diyan nuon. Anu na ang itsura ngayon duun.Nakaka-tuwang makita ang Baler kahit na sa pic laang.
Salamat otoy.
He!he!he! para akung nag parada! Ayus na ayus. Sana makuhaan din iyung from Duongan going Tibag.
Ay sana may picture din ng bagong palengke, saka yung daan papunta dun. At saka iyung daan papunta semento balita ko maganda na rin at sementado, tutuo kaya naman iyun?
kid, ano baga yuong nasa kanan bahagi ng pix 31, sadya baga na isingit doon o pixs ng marker o ng trono ng isang ermitanyo? nagtatanong po laang. medyo may pagka-weird kc ay..
san luis st. (pixs 3) pala areng kinainan namin ng akoy madaan ng baler.
napaka-gandang tanawin areng iyung mga litrato kid. nakikita laang na talaga naman bakas pa sa mga bahay ang mga unos na pinagdaanan eh. hindi baga lagi nadadaanan ng bagyo ang aurora? parang maihahambing mo sa vigan ang katahimikan at maaliwalas na kapaligiran, except sa last photo ('lil cabanatuan). hehehe!
akaw ang lungkot nga sa picture.. parang walang nabago maliban sa kalsada na konkreto.. ang mga bahay inaanay na, parang sa tingin ko ang ka level na lamang ng baler ay munisipyo ng dilasag o dinalungan anu? (5th class municipality?) pero balita ko ang mga bago at naglalakihang bahay ay nasa parteng suklayin na sa gawing likod ng kapitolyo puntang kinalapan dun yata ang mga subdibisyon ngayun na karamihan sa mga tiga bayan ay dun na nag tayo ng bahay..
tama ka po mukhang wala ngang nabago, mapapansin sa picture na ang level ng kalsada kesa bahay ay mas mataas.. yung bahay ay halos lahat nka lubog sa kalsada at pilit hinahabol nung floor level ng bahay yung level ng kalsada.
ganda mga pictures maaalala mo talaga bayan ng baler. kahit madami mga buluk na bahay ay iyan talaga ang baler. sana mapicturan din gawing duungan sa may tulay tsaka sa highway ng suklayin maganda na iyung lugar na iyun nung umuwi ako ng 2003. salamat sa mga pics nakita ko uli ang baler.
maraming salamat, joseph. naaalala ko tuloy ang unang bahay namin sa recto. pati ang mga lola ko sa zamora (wala ka yatang picture nito?). sana ma-extend mo pa para ma-cover ang baclaran at gloria st. he he.
pwede baga kitang i-link? saka hinarbat ku nga pala iyung picture #24 para sa blog ku ha? salamat, abay.
What was once the name of Recto Street? Anybody!
Kung kayo'y tunay na tiga Baler, anung unang pangalan ng Bonifacio Street?
Who was the priest responsible for the construction of the watch tower in Tabag (Castillo)and what year it was built?
Karamihan ay mga dating bahay sa Baler. Mayruun bagang mga bagung developments sa paligid? Anung hitsura ng Aurora Memorial Hospital? MCC? BI? Baler Central? Paanu iyan Kid, adi magiging busy ka ngay-un! Hirap ta ng di nauwi sa atin ay halus bunduk at aplaya na laang ang nasa imagination ku, malabu na iyung mga ibang lugar. Thanks for the update.
Puru Brgy. 1 karamihan sa piktyur, malakas ang brgy. 1 kay Kid, peru tigin ko pauna pa lang iyan, may mga susunud pa...
Malaki na pala ang pinag bago ng Baler maganda na,pwede po ba na makita ang lugar ng Brgy. Calabuanan.Gusto ko lang po na makita ng bro. in law ko na foreigner.Salamat po.
Bakit wala yata ang Zamora St.?--sayang!!! pero thx sa kuha mong pix para na rin akong nakauwi..
Ang linis nang Baler sana parating ganyan, Sana makunan rin every brgy. nang Baler.
anu kaya ang susunud mung pi-picturan na lugar.Lagi akung nag che-check kung may bagong posting.
Kakaiba nga anu? Luma nga ang ibang bahay, marami walang pintura pero ang linis ng mga kalye, walang nagkalat na papel, lata, bote! Ikumpara mu sa anu mang malalaking city, Boston, NY, LA,Chicago maski SF walang binesa sa Baler. Congratulations for being clean.
The credit goes to the people of Baler for keeping the streets clean. BRAVO TO YOU ALL!!!!!
May mga bahay pa pala na 'capis' ang bintana. Natatandaan ku iyung bahay namin nuun, pag medyo nangingitim na o nilulumut na iyung ding-ding, ina-as-is ng mga ate ku mag hapon iyun. Anyway...the streets are very clean and i'm very much impressed of it.
salamat po sa mga pictures..
na-homesick tuloy ako..
sana meron din pon pics ang gloria st..
:)
salamt for updating us..

Paki post naman ang road sa Pilaway ST. Suklayin, kilala sa taguring DUPAX miss ko lang ang lugar namin para kahit sa picture lagi kong nakikita. Kid kaklase ni Joy ang brother ko. Thanks and more power.
Pahabol kid baga puwedeng makuha sa picture bahay namin iyong kay Vedad sa Dupax. Thanks again, waiting for the picture.
Kudos to you Joseph! Thank you for posting those pics; your hard work and effort is very much appreciated by many.
When I went home last year to Baler, after being away for 17 years, I felt like an outcast talaga. In my mind, I thought the places and people would still be the same pero ibang-iba na. Hindi ko na ma-identify yung mga tinirahan namin before. Mabuti na lang ang bakery ni mang Efren ay na ron pa - point of reference ko. Sa Recto St. kami dati nakatira at tambay ako sa vulcanizing shop ni ka metu Flores.
Wish ko lang sa Baler ay gumanda ang daan in that way maraming tourist ang maka-visit! Baler has alot to offer!
Mabuhay!
Joseph you deserve an award or some kind of a recognition for your talent. More power to you!!!
Mabuhay ang Baler at Balerenians!
Looking at this pix, I can't help but be nostalgic. I have not been to Baler for quite sometime. I've always regarded it as a place to seek solitude and peace. But from what the pix shows, I was disheartened. It may have reached the modernization that it always crave for but it also lost its glory, its serenity, the Baler aire. Made me wonder what happened all through the years that I have not seen it.
Anyway, still the efforts to put this pix together is appreciated. No offense meant. Thanks a lot.
