Esperanza Central Elementary School



If I recall rightly, our house was on the right side of the street and at the end of the road is the entrance to the Esperanza Central Elementary School. That’s how I remember it. I could be wrong of course.

I took these snapshots below a week or so ago when I had the chance to visit the town where I was born after the passing of more than 40 years. It was like a journey back in time. It somehow looks still the same to me. It looks like a peaceful and quiet neighborhood.

These flowers attracted my attention. Isn’t it nice that the roadside is filled with colorful flowers?
A peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I reckon people know each other here very well.
This is the entrance to the elementary school. It was like going back in time more than 40 years ago. Of course the place has more buildings now than during my boyhood years.
Old abandoned furniture along the road. The furniture design reminded me of my boyhood years.
After the boat ride to cross the river, people use these stairs to go up and get into town. The place now looks abandoned and deserted except for the local folks living in the neighborhood.
Boats on the river. Down the stairs. According to a local elderly man I talked to, this was a busy place during the 70s when there was no bridge yet that connected Esperanza to Bayugan.
