Moving to Makati City

I have been living in Pineda, Pasig City since 2015 and today, I am officially leaving Pasig City. I am moving to a nearby city, which is Makati City.

Moving to another city means relocating to a different geographical area, usually for an extended period of time. This can involve leaving behind familiar surroundings, friends, and family, and adjusting to a new environment, culture, and way of life.

Just beside the mighty Pasig river between the cities of Pasig and Makati.

Moving to another city can bring many changes, both positive and negative. It can provide new opportunities, such as better job prospects, a lower cost of living, or a new way of life, but it can also present challenges, such as adapting to a new environment, establishing a new social network, and managing the stress of the transition.

Moving to another city requires careful planning and preparation, including research about the new city, finding a place to live, and establishing a new support network. However, it can also be an exciting and transformative experience, providing the chance to start fresh, learn new skills, and make new memories.

History of Gamu, Isabela

The town of Gamu was established on Decmeber 5, 1741. The name "Gamu" or "gamu-t" in old texts refers to the roots of tall grasses like cogon, deeply embedded in the soil. Originally part of Cagayan Valley, Gamu became part of Nueva Vizcaya in 1856 and later joined Isabela in 1859.

San Gabriel de Batauag, the first mission, was established in 1612 by Dominican missionaries. After initial conflicts, the mission was restored in 1673, leading to the emergence of Cabagan, Itugod, and Santa Rosa de Gamu-t.

Financial constraints led Santa Rosa de Gamu-t and Our Lady of Victories of Itugod to merge in 1741, with Gamu as the central settlement. Under Dominican care until 1922, Gamu later saw leadership shifts, including Filipino priests and La Salette missionaries from 1962 to 1977.

An earthquake in December 1949 damaged the church and convent, resulting in the construction of a wooden church in 1950-1951 near the Spanish Church ruins.
