A few months back I was wondering why they were balling the trees inside the Ayala Triangle. I was praying that the little park wouldn't be converted into another high-rise building or even worse, a parking lot like that in the Salcedo Park. Well, my prayers were answered.
The park has been renamed the Ayala Triangle Gardens and is now a garden-and-events venue offering family-friendly programs. It will also serve as a tropical pedestrian corridor which links people coming from Legaspi and Salcedo Village to other offices, shopping centers and commuter stations.
To welcome the Christmas Holidays, the garden will present three 10-minute light and sound shows every 30 minutes from November 20 to December 24, from Monday to Friday, 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon!

FREE and clean transport to Landmark
A neighborhood is as good as the people who inhabit it. And it can be even better with forward thinking leaders. Just this week, newspapers announced that the E-Jeepney will be transporting Salcedo Village natives to and from Landmark for FREE.
I was driving (ok, so I was burning fuel --- but it was a very hot and humid day!) around the Village early this week to do some errands and noticed the e-jeepney stop signs scattered in various strategic locations. It's nice to know that the e-jeepney won't be like your typical jeepney that stops just about anywhere, even in the middle of the road, blocking the smooth flow of traffic.
For now, E-Jeepney rides are available on weekdays and start and end in the Landmark mall from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Now if only enough of us take this mode of transportation, then maybe we can de-clog the roads of the Village.
I still have to give it a try and I'm excited and ecstatic to know that someone in City Hall is actually thinking green.
