What's up, Duck?

In the middle of the concrete jungle that is the Makati Central Business District, in Legaspi Village between Gamboa and Legaspi Streets to be exact, lies a most welcome little oasis of trees, plants, sculptures, water, koi fish and yes, even ducks!

Patty and Gabi decided to accompany me last Tuesday morning to Makati for my weekly visit to Zenith Optimedia. The plan was for them to kill some time in Greenbelt and then later join me for lunch. But Gabi fell asleep during the 45-minute trip from my Tomas Morato office and so Patty decided to drop me off first and carry the snoring Gabi to the park across the ZO office instead where he could continue his sleep under the shade of the big trees.

Gabi soon woke up and thought he was in Forest Club in Laguna!

Now called Sycip Park after the SGV founder, the park is the work of landscape designer Ponce Veridiano and features installations of renowned sculptor Impy Pilapil.


Gabi's favorite was the giant turtle stone sculpture.
