Ongpin: Manila’s Chinatown
Posted by on July 16, 2007
When one mentions the name Ongpin Street, an inexplainable feeling of joy immediately sinks in to me. During the olden times Ongpin was formerly called Sacristia Street. This is because the doors of the sacristy of the Binondo Church is located on this street. In the novel Noli Me Tangere, Don Crisostomo Ibarra has been treading this street on several occasions.
