@BrujaDelDemonio: “The actual lamp posts on the pre-war Jones Bridge was a lot simpler than the one on the illustration (Spanish era Puente de España). Mas prefer ko sana if i-restore yung mga balyena/sirenna/pawikan design sa pylons ng orig na Jones Bridge.”
@adrianpanads: “Kaya pala parang off…basta kalokalike ok na hahaha”
@jovensclaudio: “maganda nga eh”
