Crossing Over Sitio Bosoboso

Giving a once-over peep at the unseen Sitio Bosoboso with the Suzuki Skydrive Crossover is something to look forward to.

Giving a once-over peep in the Sitio Bosoboso with the Suzuki Skydrive Crossover is not often done. Mostly, the enclave location is popular for a selfie destination. A mere passing-by area for riders and cyclists. In fact, there’s a lot to uncover and discover. So let’s hop in and join us crossing over Sitio Bosoboso.

We are privileged that Suzuki Philippines kept us mobile in spite of the pandemics protocols that often change in a week’s time. Looking deeper on our ride is the Suzuki Skydrive Crossover and the Suzuki Raider J Crossover. We have a different route on the latter so let’s talk a little bit about the Suzuki Skydrive Crossover.

The Skydrive Crossover is powerful enough to carry out both paved and unpaved roads. During our tour, the air-cooled 113 cc single-cylinder engine powers up on steep angles of Manila-Rizal-Laguna-Quezon Highway (Marilaque). Based on technical specification, it boasts 8.9hp of power at 8000 rpm and 8.7 Nm Torque at 9000 rpm. Simple math? Well, let’s just say the power, size, and maneuvering is perfect for the task.

The Verdict:

Lining up what to visit in the area unveils the character of Sitio Bosoboso. Since it is far, a visit to the area unveils the character of Sitio Bosoboso. Since it is far away from the center of Barangay San Jose, we work towards discovering what made its population high enough.

An Old and Beautiful Church Undiscovered

Honestly, I got this heading from a popular travel site. But true enough, the Nuestra Señora de la Annunciata Parish Church or known as Bosoboso Church made this Sitio with lots of inhabitants.

Historically, people keep coming back, granted that it was destroyed by earthquakes and burnt during the Japanese wars. Also, abandoned by dwellers by decree order and deserted for possible structural failure.

Good devotees and residents choose to populate the area. Why? Firstly, devotees claim that the Annunciata refers to the annunciation of angel Gabriel to Mary that, though a virgin, she would conceive the Child Jesus. In short, miraculous.

Secondly, old-folks claimed it is one of the oldest existing communities in the Philippines. And lastly, old-timers say it is the original town of Antipolo. Needless to say, this Sitio needs to be back on the map and unwrap its rich culture.

The Verdict:

The solid vibe of nature and food at the Cess Grill House

Lots of food stops can be found along the street of Bosoboso Road but we want to experience a solid vibe of nature. That’s what Cess Grill House offers.

This is just along the Marikina-Infanta Highway. Ms.Thea, the owner of Cess Grill House, has Silog meals for breakfast as low as Php 99.00 and grill house specialty at a reasonable price. Most riders visit this place for a quick bite. Normal operation is from 8 AM until 12 MN. Check out their FB Page for more details.
