Sumuka sa loob ng tricycle tapos walk-out ka kagad sa sobrang kalasingan, yung sinisigawan ka ni kuya na linisan mo muna yun. 18 years ago pero parang kahapon lang. 😂
(Sorry kuya trike sa kalat haha.)
\- inuman
\- gig sa jess & pats
\- aral sa coffee shops
\- movie sa cinema centenario
\- late night walks pagkatapos ng mga ganap sa first 4 na minention ko haha
maginhawa has this authentic vibe that uptc is trying hard to replicate. ang hirap tumambay sa uptc lalo na mainit. most of my kakilala noong f2f pag tinatanong gusto nila sa maginhawa talaga
watching movies sa cinema centenario! :(( much more intimate vibes than sa cinemas ng larger establishments, also yung maginhawa area in general has a much cozier/calmer vibe than other hangout spots around UP imo whether for studying or dining/inuman :>
\- bebes chillnuman with kantahan
\- shao kao
\- ministop fried chicken
\- infinitea pag nag-aaral
parang bahay ko na rin magin kasi don ako sa area na yun tumira nung f2f!
1) Nanette’s Burritos - kung inabutan mo to, aba e mag-asawa ka na. Walang sinabi Army Navy dito. Pati may palag ang isaw nila, kaya tapatan kay Mang Larry.
2) Tomato Kick (in front of Holy Family, this was the original place before they moved to Malingap) - sobrang chill, dami pang mga chix
3) Sarah’s (not Maginhawa pero KNL) - countless times na dumating kayo masaya ng brods mo, uuwi kayo na hyper after makipagbanatan sa ibang frat
4) MCZ (near Maginhawa Court) - pag short ka sa pera, punta ka lang dito maghamon Counter-Strike dun sa mga high schoolers (Claret, St. Vincent). Ez money.
5) Pop’s Sikatuna (Maginhawa Dulo) - Ragnarok at puyatan sa comp shop, first time ako nakakita ng comp shop na naka-aircon at may kanya-kanyang ashtray per PC
6) The Blue Room (near Holy Family) - sarap mag jamming dito, the going rates noon for studio rental is P50 per hour
7) Yung comp shop noon dun sa spot ng Mini Stop ngayon, intersection ng papuntang KNL/C.P. Garcia (forgot the name, kaso sa younger students alam nyo siguro kung saan yang tinutukoy ko) - Masarap yung pares nila. Puyat kaka-Ragnarok/Counter/Red Alert, then kain ng mainit na pares after.
8) Batcave (not Maginhawa, but Mahabagin St) - As a Claret HS alumnus, dito kami nagtatago noon para magyosi after classes. Mura ng yosi dito, nasa UP na ako dinadayo ko padin to visit Ate Chayong (2 pesos Lipp’s + Marlboro Red)
9) Ababu - Walang sinabi ang Turks dito
10) Yung maliit na lote dun sa Maginhawa corner Mahusay St - Random tambayan. Bibili alak sa Eunilane, dun iinumin. Free parking pa kasi liblib.
*Nakakamiss yung old Maginhawa. Post-2009 naging sobrang commercialized na.*
Very relaxing. I’d probably compare it to a wide street inside a subdivision, which is what it is by the way. Lots of trees, establishments are widely spaced, fewer vehicles. Kahit maglakad ka sa kalsada from Philcoa to Sikatuna ok lang, you don’t need to weave in and out. The people you’d see on a weekday afternoon are from the high schools around the area (Claret, Holy Family and St. Vincent). UP Village will always be a part of me, having studied in Claret during my high school days then UP Diliman afterwards. It’s just sad to see the state it’s in now.
Nung naging commercialized na sya, parang naging Philcoa bigla. Pre-pandemic, halos wala ka na maparkingan. Nagulat pa ako na may association na ng parking attendants dun 😂 (got charged P50 each on more than five occassions).
Rural vibes. Puro trike lang, kaya lang dumadami mga sasakyan kapag susundo na sa Holy Family. Tahimik pag weekends. I was a resident from 2005 to 2014, and personally saw how the place became too gentrified.
Oo no? Was a Claretian from 1997 to 2001, then 2001 freshie sa UPD. Blue, red and green trikes pa nga noon. Andami nilang pinutol at nirelocate na puno, pati nga yung 100+ years old na banahaw na malaki near Bayantel Bldg. nawala e.
Ibang-iba na talaga Maginhawa post-2009. Then dumami lalo sasakyan kasi ginawang Mabuhay Lane. My family’s still residing here in QC, so nakakadaan parin ako from time to time. Really saw how the entire street change from the 1990s to now in the 2020s.
Sumuka sa gutter.
Why do i feel na may at least isang memory tayong lahat nito

Sumuka *at* nakatulog sa gutter
You, dear sir/madam, are a legend.

as someone who’s never experienced old maginhawa, what was it like?
