Ang Daan sa Ating Pangarap....
Filipos 2: 1- 11 Kaya nga, sapagkat mayroong kasiglahan ang buhay kay Cristo, mayroong kaaliwan ng pag-ibig, mayroong pakikiisa ng Espiritu Santo, at mayroong kagandahang-loob at malasakit para sa isa't isa..., lubusin ninyo ang aking kagalakan; magkaroon kayo ng iisang kaisipan, mabuklod kayo sa iisang pag-ibig, at magkaisa kayo sa puso't diwa. Huwag kayong gumawa ng anuman... dahil sa paghahangad ninyong maging tanyag; sa halip, bilang tanda ng pagpapakumbaba, ituring ninyong higit ang iba kaysa inyong mga sarili. Pagmalasakitan ninyo ang kapakanan ng iba, at hindi lamang ang sa inyong sarili. Nawa'y magkaroon kayo ng kaisipan na tulad ng kay Cristo Jesus. Kahit siya'y likas at tunay na Diyos, hindi niya ipinagpilitang manatiling a kapantay ng Diyos. Sa halip, kusa niyang hinubad ang pagiging kapantay ng Diyos, at naging katulad ng isang alipin. Ipinanganak siyang tulad ng mga karaniwang tao. At nang si Cristo'y maging tao, nagpakumbaba siya at naging masunurin hanggang kamatayan, maging ito man ay kamatayan sa krus. At dahil dito, siya'y lubusang itinaas ng Diyos, at ibinigay sa kanya ang pangalang higit sa lahat ng pangalan. Sa gayon, sa pangalan ni Jesus ay luluhod at magpupuri ang lahat ng nasa langit, nasa lupa, at nasa ilalim ng lupa. At para sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos Ama, ang lahat ay magpapahayag na si Jesu-Cristo ang Panginoon

Chinggay B.N. Love ko Pangarap dahil nandito ang ugat ko. Hindi pa ko kailanman gumamit ng ibang address pag nagf-fill out ng forms. Wala kong ibang gustong tricycle kundi green at wala kong ibang gustong jeep kundi Pangarap Loob. Hindi pa din uso ang MRT nakatira na lolo ko dito. At nandito yung kubong kulungan ng guinea pigs na tambayan namin. Nandito din yung shop ni tatay kung san ako natutong mag-Counter Strike at mag-DOTA. At yung letter U na Narra Ave na ini-ikot namin twice a day for fun. Malaki ang utang na loob ko sa Pangarap. ^^
Prince Emeritus sarap mag lakad sa pangarap kasi alam mo lahat ng tao hindi mo man kilala sa pangalan pero kangitian mo, kahit madikit sa tsinelas ang putik masarap naman ang hangin... ayaw ko isipin habang buhay na hindi ko naipaglaban yun naging tahanan ko sa loob ng maraming taon, dito ako tatayo at isisigaw ang karapatan ko, dahil pinatibay na ko ng putik sa paa ko...
Allan R. Sa pangarap ako na totong bumasa at sumulat...sa lugar n to ko nakilala lahat ng mga kaibigan at naging parte ng buhay ko..Lahat ng mga bagy2 d2 ko din nalaman,kaya ang hirap isiping mawawala ang lugar na to...wala man akung tahanan sa pangarap pero ang mga Mahal ko sa buhay.mga kaibigan ay doon nakatira.kaya kasama ako sa LABAN NYO SA PANGARAP KUNG LUPA..

More ... Growing Up in Pangarap Village
Marvin
I read the blog its nice, I used to watch Espinosa running off the street of Pangarap.
Myra
Nice Charmel...Remember talon?kung saan dumadayo ang lahat para mag swimming at manghuli ng hipon at talangka.Ang ilog kung saan naglalaba,Tree planting kung saan nangangahoy,at nangunguha ng mushrooms.At kung Huwebes santo kung kelan lumalabas lahat ng tao at sabay sabay na naglalakad papuntang Grotto.Lahat ng ito ay inabutan ko at nakagisnan ng mga anak ko.Papano mo iiwan ang isang lugar na naging bahagi na ng buong buhay mo?...:((
Angelo
At syempre ang gotohan ni Mang Arthur sa gate, balut at penoy na pasalubong. Maning malutong na pampulutan. Dito tayo namulat. Dito tayo nagkaruon ng mga kaibigan. Dito tayo natutong tumayo sa mga paa natin para sa ating pamilya. Maraming magagandang bagay na nangyare sa atin dito na hanggang ngayon dala dala natin sa araw araw na pamumuhay natin. Bakit nila kukunin itong lahat sa atin para lang sa kanilang sakim na kapakanan?
Marvin
I used to go the central old church yung luma kahoy lng dati and i used to fly my saranggola on that area. I played basketball sa tapat ng elementary school kahit umuulan hindi pa covered kagaya ngayon. I remember ilan ilan pa lng ang mga bhay nun and the rest talahiban pa tlga
Dusty
nde ko malilimutan tuwing tag-ulan, may plastic akong suot sa paa para nde maputikan ang sapatos ko pag papasok ako sa school tapos tatanggalin ko pag nasa gate na ako...yan ang taga-pangarap maabilidad! pag-uwian na at maputik pa rin..no choice hubad na ang sapatos kasama pati medyas sabay lusung sa putikan...ok lng pauwi naman na e!
Gigi
when it comes to talent, Pangarap has the best! The choirs of Pangarap won the competitions in Lagro and Amparo in the 80s. They joined and won competitions in Eat Bulaga. We have a roster of youth leaders who are now professionals in their own fields, locally and abroad.
Gigi
We also have our share of intellectuals, we have a PMA-er class salutatorian, we have our honor students from Mirriam and PUP. I heard their is a Ms. Kalookan who is from Pangarap. And this kid who is making waves at GMA's Amazing Cooking Kids is from Pangarap.

You Know You Grew Up in Pangarap Village When...
I have to take a break from the strong emotion from the last few days after Pangarap Village suffered violence and 2 people killed.
You Know You Grew Up in Pangarap Village When...
1. You have to say which part of Pangarap Village you live,
- "Tawi-Tawi", and you have to add either Lower or Upper
- "Gate", the entrance to Pangarap Village where you get off from the other jeepneys or busses that ply the Quirino Highway
- "Heartsite", this may be the latest named area, it used to be wooded area close to the school
- "Ikapito", short name for "Ikapitong Bundok" - translated as "seventh mountain", this area has a hilly terrain and closest to the boundary to the La Mesa Dam. Wayyyy too far!
- "Horseshoe" referring to the horseshoe-shaped main road Narra Avenue which is also the route of jeepneys plying the village to Bayan.
- "Improved Area" this area is on the other side of Araneta Avenue, and had paved concrete roads and drainage that sets it apart from the rest as "improved"
- the area near the schools and the church
What are the other names? Another popular way to tell is also by the street name, which were named after Philippine trees. Popular ones are Yakal, Alibangbang, Tangile, Apitong, Santol, Mangga, Banaba etc.
2. You also have to be careful you don't get assigned a different Barangay (village government) when voting, there are two -- Barangay 181 and Barangay 182
3. Every summer, sportsfests are organized and most of the youth would be representing their local area and different age groups -- and genders (especially for Volleyball). Some groups have more "good-looking" players than the other and tend to attract more supporters.
4. Every Holy Week, processions are held around Pangarap, people would join in from the church around the whole of Pangarap -- nobody have thought of entering the procession to the Guinness World Book of Records but I'm sure it is one of the longest processions as it had to go through most of the areas I mentioned in Number1.
5. Every Santacruzan, there is no shortage of beauties. From the cute little girls as angels, to the teenage girls, to the full-blossomed bachelorettes, to the mothers and grandmothers. To solve the problem of "too many beautiful girls", the last title or of "Reyna Elena" is numbered, so we would have "Reyna Elena I", "Reyna Elena II", "Reyna Elena III" etc.
Everyone walking in their high heels and gowns, sometimes even in the mud and throughout Pangarap. Beauty has its sacrifices.
6. The public schools, Pangarap Elementary School and Pangarap High School are the only government schools in the area (next one is Lagro, then Malaria), remember when the uniform was a very shocking "yellow green" ? Yes - even boys have to wear them!
7. Early in the morning, you can see former boxing champion Luisito Espinosa jogging along the horseshoe. You know you're late when you don't see him anywhere.
8. Early in the morning, if you ride the jeepneys, you have to be careful with their "cargo" - sacks of barbeque sticks or bananaque sticks that is one of the livelihood of the people living nearer to the mountain area (past Ikapito).
9. The fiesta celebrated used to be of the patron saint Sto. Nino and there is always the parade of muses from various fundraising efforts and "ati-atihan" (dark-skinned street dancers inspired by the "Atis" indigenous groups). Night before the parade, is the Coronation Night and most likely, Amateur Singing Contests held everywhere by neighborhood associations.
10. It's hard to get into the Pangarap jeepneys if you don't go to Novaliches Town Proper (BAYAN) terminal. They are always full. However, around Lagro, you can hail other jeeps, those who are cutting their trips and ending in Pangarap. There used to be only a few tricycles, people just walked. Through, watery, muddy or dusty dirt road.
Because the area is government land, the only chance of having the road paved or fixed up is during elections. It's usually the "favorite" election promise of politicians, however, most of the time, it is not done properly, no drainage, just a quick and dirty job of putting asphalt overlay on the dirt road. When the rain comes, it just washes away the asphalt. Till the next election.
What about you? What do you remember growing up in Pangarap?
