This is the Provincial road of Manticao, it connects lots of places and Zones particularly Zone 9 and 19. The road was already concreted and different kinds of establishments like Barracks, Hardwares, Grocery stores and even Houses. Electric Substations also built at the place that produced lots of electricity of the entire Municipality. There are also lots of electric posts and cable wires attached because of the internet service provider and the substation built here. Few years has already past, this place was once a dusty and rocky road. Motorists was having a difficult time driving here because of the muddy puddles everytime when there is rain and when summer came thick dusts covered the vehicles and even houses. But now, it is totally concreted and comfortable to walk here. Every morning, there are lots of people doing their simple exercises like Jogging and walking here.
Before we reach the Zone first we need to pass here in this road. It takes a few minutes of traveling starting from the Provincial road going to Zone 23 but it can be passable by any kinds of vehicles. Each side of this road contains lots of wild plants and trees and it really gives a nice and relaxing while traveling here. There are two crossings here but it can easily locates the place because of the sign board installed at the road side. It is also surrounded with lots of manggo trees and few coconut trees near at the road, which is one of the primary source of income on for some residents here.
The first structure we can see and founs if we entering Zone 23 is the Chapel. This old chapel is very fascinating and unique because of its designs and colors, it builts many years already. Every Month of September they celebrated Zone Fiesta here and performed a Church Mass before distributing the foods.
What's Inside of the Chapel?
Inside of the Chapel contains lots of long wooden chairs, shinny floor tiles at the Altar and ceiling fans. There is also a human size statue of An Angel standing near at the Door and a big and old piano near at the Altar. Most of the things found inside of the Chapel are very old and there are many worshippers went here every Friday to attend the Mass.
Old Convent House:
Near at the chapel is the old convent house, Priest who perfmormed Mass here stayed for a while and rest inside of this old convent. This is the place where they ate after the Mass. The structure is very unique because of the terrace at the top and round staircase going to the top. Most part of the structures are made of light materials like lumbers, Plywoods and it is surrounded with lots of trees that can make the place cool and relaxing.
This are the houses located at the Zone and it is also near at the Chapel. Most of the houses here are made of Solid concrete and some of it are made of light materials like lumbers and bamboo pieces. There are also few stores here and Barracks area.
This areas was once an open and spacious place but as many years passing by it was developed into a subdivided areas. There are already few unique houses and owned lot in the place and it indicates because of the fences built here.
Not far from the Zone is the very old and nearly broke concrete fence. This structure was part of one of the widest place here were a piggery was operated here that time. The piggery structures are now destroyed and the only structure left is this concrete walls and fence. Zone 23 is keep progressing until now-a-days and more progressive happens for the future. Aside of that, it is really nice to visit and explored this place. Until next post, have a safe travel to everyone.
