Blessing of the Subdivision


Finally, the most awaited part of the life of those living in Barangay 156, Tramo, Pasay City, Philippines has come. This particularly refers to those who were razed by fire last December 21, 2005. It marks the inauguration of their subdivision. For so long, they have been called as squatters. Now, no more. Thus, the name of their place is St. Hannibal Subdivision, Phase 1. This event is graced by his Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, DD, Archbishop of Manila. Other dignitaries were also present to witness the grace-filled event.
