Wawa Dam, Montalban, Rizal, Philippines

Just a few minutes from Quezon City is located Rodriguez (formerly Montalban), Rizal, where we can find the Wawa Dam.  Its been some months now that I was planning to take some photos of the very lovely Montalban Gorge and Wawa Dam. And finally, found some time last weekend.  The Dam was constructed by the American government in 1909 which served as primary water source for the Manila area. But in the 1960s, the La Mesa-Ipo-Angat water systems was established, leading to the decommissioning of Wawa Dam. Here are some photos I took during the weekend.

Some facts from Wikipedia:

Borgward Isabella TS 1961The Borgward Isabella is a medium-sized, two-door
saloon that was manufactured by the Bremen based auto-manufacturer Carl F. W.
Borgward GmbH from 1954-1962. Initially, the car was badged — like its
predecessor — as the Hansa 1500, but within the company it was known from the
beginning by the code name, Isabella (not after Carl Borgward's wife whose name
was Elisabeth), and cars produced after 1957 bore the ‘Isabella’ name, inscribed
eye catchingly within the rhombus at the centre of the front grill: in
retrospect, the car produced from 1954 is known as the Isabella to differentiate
it from the (first) Hansa 1500/1800 which the company produced from 1949-1954.
Despite its aspirational positioning in the marketplace, the Isabella had a
smaller engine (and was marginally shorter) than its immediate predecessor. Late
in 1952, the firm had launched their six cylinder Hansa 2400 model. The larger
car never found many buyers; but in 1954, it made commercial sense to keep the
two models from competing too directly with each other.
