    The document describes the history and purpose of Arkong Bato, a stone arch monument built in 1910 along the border of the provinces of Rizal and Bulacan in the Philippines. It served to demarcate the boundary between the two provinces. By 1975, the towns on either side of the arch were incorporated into Metro Manila, so the arch no longer marked a provincial boundary but still demarcated the border between the cities of Valenzuela and Malabon. The arch remains as a reminder of the area's history, even as the cities have grown and changed over time.

    “stone arch” known as Arkong Bato Arkong Bato monument (Arch stone) view from the
    Malabon side

    At the beginning of the 2oth century, the Metro Manila city of Valenzuela was known before as the
    rural town of Bulacan called Polo. South of Polo was a bustling fishing town called Malabon, one of
    the many towns that comprised the then-newly established Province of Rizal.
    To demarcate the boundary between the two provinces, the American colonial government built in
    1910 a stone arch along what was then the main thoroughfare to Northern Luzon. It was no grand
    structure or anything but it served its purpose. Locally it became known by the name which is how
    “stone arch” is known in Tagalog: Arkong Bato.

    The thoroughfare, which became known as M.H. Del Pilar Street no longer served as the northern
    main thoroughfare when a wider thoroughfare now known as MacArthur Highway was constructed,
    though it still served as an important link between the two towns, and the two provinces as well in
    general.
    Then in 1975, Valenzuela and Malabon found themselves separated from their former home
    provinces to become part of a new entity called Metro Manila. Thus, Arkong Bato’s significance as a
    welcome arch between two provinces was lost, though it still served to mark the boundary of
    Valenzuela and Malabon which were converted to cities in recent years.

    ell Tower of San Diego De Alcala Church
    Barangay Poblacion
    The belfry, or bell tower, of San Diego de Alcala Church is
    over four hundred years old, and is a cultural and religious
    relic of the bygone Spanish era. The tower, along with the
    entrance arch, is the only remaining structure of the original
    church built in 1632. The main structure of San Diego de
    Alcala was destroyed during Japanese rule and has since
    been rebuilt and renovated, serving as an aesthetic
    counterpoint to the largely unchanged tower.

    valenzuela people's park amphitheater
    In Valenzuela in the Philippines, the amphitheatre is covered with a Sioen Type 2 Fluomax
     textile. The Valenzuela People's Park, officially the Valenzuela City People's Park and known to
    local residents as simply People's Park or VCPP, is an urban community park located in the city
    of Valenzuela, Philippines. It is built beside the Valenzuela City Government Centre and the
    Valenzuela Town Centre. The construction of this 1.5-hectare park was started in 2014 and was
    formally opened to the public on February 14, 2015.
    The park itself is surrounded by various landmarks, government buildings, and shopping centres
    and includes a huge amphitheatre. Here, different layers of PES/PVC fabrics are assembled in an
    appropriate large shading structure, covering the amphitheatre and thus giving sufficient
    protection for both spectators and staged events. The structure has been executed with our 
    Fluomax Type 2 textile.
    The shading structure for the amphitheatre is manufactured by Rize Innovations. Rize
    innovations is one of the Philippines’ largest tensile architecture manufacturers. Tensile
    structures can be included in interior or exterior design to create structures with exceptional
    function and aesthetic appeal.
    Fluomax Type 2 is a 900gsm, low-wick, anti-bacterial, UV stabilised and fire-retardant PVC with
    coated PVDF lacquer both sides.
