yang national league of filipino women ba ung may office sa escoda? bakit nga ba pala naging plaza azul naman un? kay mayor lim lang ata naging plaza azul un, mas bagay pa rin tropy, hehehe
baka dati ay kulay azul ung lugar na yan kaya plaza azul or ‘yung trophy mismo eh kulay azul?!
Tanda ko dati halos masira na yang trophy tapos madami pang sulat. Buti na lang pinaayos nung inayos yang plaza azul. Kung alam lang siguro ng mga kabataan ang simbolo nyan sa taga pandaqueno, hindi nila yan bababuyin…
