kami naman, since 1981 pa nakatira sa Marikina. I remember di pa sementado ang bayan bayanan ave sa may concepcion. May mga squatter pa nakatira sa may ilog where the marikina riverpark is now situated. Grabe ang baha. Naalala ko pag gising namin e may tubig na sa loob ng bahay at lumulutang na ibang mga gamit nami. Maganda lang sa Marikina that time is Malanday dahil dun nakatira si Mayor Valentino. Tapos di pa regular collection ng basura. Kaya yung mga inuuod yung tapunan ng basura sa may wet market sa amin. As in gumagapang na sa kalsada yung mga maggots. Simula lang gumanda ang Marikina nung naupo si BF. Ngayon, ok na may mga parks na, may mall na kami, at higit sa lahat may Marikina Hotel na. Sa munispyo walang mahabang pila. Mabilis ang transactions. Parang Globe or SMART business center ang dating. Di ka nga lang papasukin pag naka tsinelas ka. Kailangan maayos itsura mo at naka shoes. Mga basketball courts covered na lahat at may electronic scoreboard pa. Yung sports center, puwede ka mag jogging, cycling, swimming, tennis, badminton. Galing nga e. Kaya di mo masisi na pag may kausap kayo Marikeno very proud sila sa city nila. Kala mo nga nagyayabang pero pag nagpunta ka talaga sa Marikina, you will realize totoo lahat ng sinasabi nila.

Lemon just avoid the marikina fault line...(that's the "ledge" ng Ateneo stretching the boundary lines ng marikina)....this might include Cinco Hermanos.

I was bred and born in Marikina, grew up there since 1967 pero I don't live there anymore...I have an almost thorough knowledge of the ins and outs of that area (siguro 80-90%) kasi I always bike around going to my classmates houses...

My best pick of place to look for is New Marikina Subdivision, then SSS village, then Concepcion area (back of the Concepcion palengke), last choice ko ang Rancho....I wonder if housing area yung sa dulo ng Marikina Engineering area (by-pass ito going Goodrich Village/SSS Phase 1/Strip 70), puro damuhan pa pero maganda ang roads.

Ang nearest to East Avenue kasi would be Concepcion area...you can pass by Tumana bridge labas UP Diliman or take the regular road - Barangka na labas Ateneo.

I almost forgot, yung bukana ng Parang going San Mateo is also a good place...malapit sa access road na lalabas sa Batasan/Congressional hiway (yung pa Fairview).
