Here are the sketches I did with #UskQuezonCity at our #SketchWalk at the Museo el Deposito in San Juan. The museum tells the story of the Carriedo water works with the underground reservoir (designed by Spanish engineer Genaro Palacios) originally being fed by the Marikina River and serving fountains and hydrants in Manila. The underground chamber was also used as an armoury during American and Japanese rule. My first sketch was done in the underground reservoir area.

Next door is the Museo ng Katipunan (Museum of the Katipunan) which honors the revolutionary society called the Katipunan with a permanent exhibition. In front are some life-sized figures (some of which I sketched), commemorating those who fought in the Battle of San Juan del Monte (the first major battle of the Philippine Revolution).

My last sketch was of the Museum itself with what I think is the San Juan city hall in the background (the circular sign is the official seal of the city).
