On the last Sunday morning of January, Valenzuela City opened the initial segments of the Polo Riverwalk, a linear park with walking paths and cycling lanes that repurposes old flood control structures of the city, not unlike the High Line in New York or Chicago's 606 Elevated

Seeing people happy, listening to stories of how much they've enjoyed the spaces you helped build. Thankful to my bosses who kept the fire alive. This is probably a job that I can do forever.

Went out for an evening jog and people are still active in one of our parks. At 8:45, the night is still young for most Valenzuelanos.

Probably his last project in Valenzuela before taking the helm as DSWD chief. We thought this was a pipe dream at first. But the endless meetings, site visits and community engagements made this a reality. Truly, a project for the people.

The demand for great walkable neighborhoods far outpaces the supply. It’s climate agnostic, age agnostic and income level agnostic. While not for everyone we need to greatly increase the supply of great walkable neighborhoods in North America.

Day well spent with our friends from Angat Kabataan Valenzuela. Museum Tour, history trail at Polo Park & San Diego de Alcala Church, and a sunset promenade in Polo Riverwalk.

Rethinking parking isn’t about banning cars β€” it’s about giving cities back to people. In #Leiden: πŸš— parking pressure dropped from 90% to 78% 🚲 60% of visitors now arrive by bike/train πŸ’° shops thrive 🏞️ public space improved Smart parking = better cities. Also for drivers.

Once upon a time, we thought that city life has completely moved to the center. But now, with the determination of both our leaders and citizens, we're breathing new life to Polo, the birthplace of our city.

Took my parents to Polo Riverwalk for a jog. Of course, I didn't tell my mom that I was part of the project team. 10/10 ang verdict niya, so I treated her to dinner. My dad told me later on that mom knew all along. Hahaha
