Charlie Angel Acosta’s Graduation

Yesterday was Charlie Angel Acosta’s graduation. I was not really in the mood to go since it wasn’t a big deal to me but Chamitos and Bezami forced me to. After some few hustles of preparation, Papiru Acosta (my father) and Charlie Angel Acosta (the celebrant) decided to go first. And we followed after we took our turns to wash.

I haven’t visited the place since last year, since Charlie attended her recognition day in that spot while Chamito gave her speech to the elementary graduates in our former elementary school nearby.

The moment we stepped there Chamitos immediately asked us if we can start taking our photos… the place was just exciting… wide open highways, old delapidated buildings as big as SM North edsa, and mountain trails and huge grasses… soon we decided to forget about our sister’s graduation and have taking each other’s photos.

First we visited Kadiwa.

During the Martial Law, the former Dictator showed a special affection for the Bataan Province especially our town, Mariveles. He built here the first ever Export Processing Zone (now called economic zone) in the country, he also had a really big rest house at Talaga beach, a branch of PUP and of course the really big Kadiwa.

Kadiwa supposedly was created to be a great commercial shopping center. It is composed of three buildings that are altogether bigger than SM North. But unfortunetely after its construction has ended a great fire ate the place. Since then it became the favorite settings for popular ghost stories and venue for the best and most unforgettable, legendary fist fights for grade schoolers… while the place became the spot of couples to do their, well secret deeds… and of drug addicts for their nasty sessions.

Later on, a high school was built on one of the buildings… and there was where Charlie went for her secondary education. But still a big chunk of the building was not renovated and still possesses the ambiance of darkness and danger… so we visited the hidden nook and had these interesting photos.

Then we went to the road side and had another photo opportunity.

Then at our house Papiru was very hesitant to join us so we cornered him at the sala and squeezed him for a wacky family pic.
