I came from a blogging and Eat's a Date event somewhere in Marikina one evening of December 2011 and on my way home I happen to see this well-lit park in Ortigas, where Meralco head office is situated. I did not have second thoughts of paying a visit even if I am all alone. Besides I've been meaning to see how amazing it is inside. My first time! The first time my better half and I went here was too unsuccessful as the moment we enter the grassy area of the park all the lights turned off, signaling closing time. Oh no! Better luck next time :( Good thing I have plenty of time to pay this place a visit since I just live in San Juan which is definitely in close proximity to Ortigas area.
Equipped with a bridge camera and an iPad 2 I mustered to go inside all by myself. How I wish my close friends are with me that time. Maybe next time. There's a signage outside informing that it will be open to public from 6PM to 10PM on most dates of December. There's even a bazaar for all foodies and bargain shopping as Meralco's way of spreading the joy of Christmas.
As I entered the main gate where visitors must left an identification card in exchange of an entry pass, there was this Compound Map plotting where the important scenes and streets are which one should not dare miss.
A great guide for a first timer like me!
I have to choose which to see first the left side or the right side of the Meralco Compound? Hmmm.. I got to choose the right side first which took me on this site..
