The Primary Department has been moved to a new room just above the old one. We went there for the first time today. Mom and I came home right after church and left Pop there because he had a rehearsal. While we were eating dinner Hope called me up and asked if I wanted to go for a ride with her in the afternoon. At one Mom, June and I went to see “The Patsy” with Marion Davis. It was a very good and funny! At four thirty Hope arrived with her mother, father, and Dave Collens. They asked June if she didn’t want to go along and of course she did. We went to Montalban. We wouldn’t have been able to see the dam if we hadn’t met Charlie Jarrue. He told the man in charge to let us in. On the way back I drove half of the way. We got back about seven. We went to Hope’s and everybody turned in to help get supper. We got home about nine thirty.
Jane’s Notes: Rodriguez, Rizal is a first-class, urban municipality in the province of Rizal, Philippines. It is the northernmost town in the province and comes after San Mateo, Rizal, and Quezon City coming from Metro Manila. The town is located on the slopes of the Sierra Madre mountain range and features many resorts; it is also the largest town in Rizal province with 312.70 km.
The town's old name, Montalban, refers to its mountainous topography. It was also the town's official name from 1909, until Batas Pambansa Blg. 275 was passed in September 1982, which officially renamed the town. The town's official name is taken from the family name of Eulogio Rodriguez, Sr., one of the most prominent Montalbeños. According to the latest census, it has a population of 223,594 inhabitants in 24,524 households. With its fast urbanization and economic growth, the municipality currently ranks as the eighth-richest municipality in the Philippines, with an annual income of Php 310 million (2007). The dam Mom refers to is probably the Wawa Dam.
