Commonwealth Ave used to be called the "Killer Highway" until they started building overpasses over it. Now MRT-7 is being built over a long grave of dead trees.

I used to go here often with my bicycle. I think they shot one of the surreal scenes in Ishmael Bernals' "Manila By Night" somewhere in the area.

Shell 4
This jogging lane is the last stretch of paved road from the Marikina Riverbanks. A dike is being constructed downstream. All of these will be gone in a few years or so.

In a small corner behind the First United Building, you can spot one of the shells, if you dare pick it up.

Grabbed a bottle from the same spot. Improvised a "cable" from the vines scattered in the area.

THE CITY IS A SEA
In a span of a few weeks, I made hand-made "shells" from discarded materials and installed them in various parts of Metro Manila. People are free to put them in their ears and listen if they can find them.
Exact locations will be posted on this page.
