I had a chance to see the Sumbingtik Festival in Cainta last November 29 and 30. But actually, the grand fiesta happens December 1 every year.  Sumbingtik is a combination of suman, bibingka and latik and they came up with the words sumbingtik.  I didn't know that these kakanin started in Cainta before Antipolo had these and they sourced it out in Cainta.

Araneta Center Cubao: The Center Is Now A City

The Araneta Center in Cubao used to be dark and usually all stores and restaurants closed at 9pm during those old days and it's not quite safe if you stay late at night.  

But time has changed and you'll get to see BPO companies operating at night, fast foods like 

Wendy's, KFC, Mcdonalds, etc are 24 hours open.  With Manhattan Gardens, hotels and newly built buildings, the center that used to be dark is now full of lights.

It has evolved a lot.  The center is now officially a city. A city within a city, and that is Araneta City!

Here's my vlog to watch to unleashed the beauty of Araneta City.
