The City Forest and Marble Park

We drove to Brgy. San Joaquin today to savor what's left with the fiesta in a friend's house (read: nanliwas). Along the way, I noticed some sights that many of us take for granted. One of these is the City Forest and Marble Park located in Malopalo, a barangay which is a few meters away from Malajog Beach.

A few years ago, there was a move to make the area a quarry site that will produce marble. The material in the area is said to be of better quality compared to that of Romblon. Fortunately, the locales and some NGOs opposed the move. I'll take it from there. In the meantime, this natural wonder stays for everyone to appreciate and thank God for the beauty that is Calbayog.
