Speedy says the sagala in the red gown is a Gloria Romero look-alike. I say he looks like Bingbong Crisologo. What do you think?

About CASA Veneracion
Casa is Spanish for house. CASA is also an acronym for Connie, Antonio, Sam and Alex. We are all surnamed Veneracion. We all love to take photos -- of anything that catches our fancy. It's a family obsession.
This is a journal of how we live, eat, learn, play and have fun. Work? Work is part of playing and having fun. Seriously.
The kitchen staff
In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP. Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to pinoycook.net. Always unhappy with the fact that the dot com versions of houseonahill and pinoycook weren't … (click here to read all »)

oh my gosh, that was such a treat! Thanks, great pictures.. Judy
hi connie, i enjoyed looking at the photos.
last photo – she looks like gloria romero alright. bingbong crisologo if she has buckteeth and make her a shade darker.
some of them have real boobies ha!
That candidate must be really despeerate! Isali ba naman ang picturen niya sa sagala!
Gloria Romero look alike? Mmm.. I agree with you, Connie. More of Bingbong Crisologo. lol! But in fairness, he looks very elegant, at pinakamatino ang gown. hehehe. The roses even match the color of his dress.
I enjoyed taking them too, Judy.
The gays were really accommodating. They wouldn’t resume walking until I had taken all the pics I wanted.
mari, eh pag walang boobies di pwede mag plunging neckline di ba?
rhodora, naku, may “announcer” pa yung candidate ha, na naka-megaphone. Pampasira talaga.
Mas maayos pa sila sa akin.
This reminds me to buy more decent clothes for myself and to pay more attention to my hair.
The one in the first pic is pretty.
Isn’t it amazing that my teen aged years had been spent in my parents’ house in Marikina and yet, I have not seen any of this parades? I’ve heard of it before but somehow it did not pique my interest. Bakit kaya? Hindi naman ako homophobic!
LOL Jayred, there were moments when I got that feeling too. Especially about my hair.
Tito Rolly, eh yung Santacruzan ng mga lola, nakapanood ka na? That’s quite an event din daw although I haven’t seen one. Weekdays kasi eh.
Love the pics!
Ay, Tito Rolly, they are waiting for you.
hindi siya kamukha ni gloria, hihihi.
the gowns in page 3 are like, whoa!!!
hahaha nice one, amateur misanthrope. I can go with you if you want.
Another one for lolas??? Now, I have not even heard of that one, connie!
lady cess, i was waiting for something to pop out of the tops hehehe
meron for lolas, tito rolly. i’ll ask for the sked.
Oooh, most of them are so lovely and mas sexy pa sa tootong females! *ouch*
On the last photos: Bingbong for sure! Esp when Bingbong was younger and not yet all wrinkled up. hehe
Chateau, at yung iba, ang kinis! They really spend on grooming, grabe.
They look every inch a lady..he he he…
Naku po! Some of them are more feminine than I am. The ‘ladies’ in first and second pictures look real.
If this keeps up you ladies could be an endangered species.
Why is it that I keep looking at picture #1 and somehow entertaining the possibility of a complex relationship?
LOL Tom, I can ask around where (s)he may be reached hehehehe
