The buko vendor stopped by today; he does so every other day and rings the brass, chapel bell in our small loggia. I buy a glass pitcher of juice, malauhog, and sometimes binilog na malakanin for Aubrey.

Visited the hawkers' stands and caught up on neighborhood news.

A demolition is ongoing at Barrio Panopio, the erstwhile housing complex for former PC (Philippine Constabulary) dependents behind Camp Panopio Compound, which now houses PNP Police Station 7, a jail, a training site with quarters, offices, and a modern hospital under construction.. Residents were given two years to relocate to Antipolo City, but many of them refused to budge. Now more than 100 in demolition crews are swarming all over the place.

Saw Deniz's equally hot, Turkish brother having his morning coffee.
