Fishpond mosaic
Large areas around the town are divided into rectangular fishponds separated by narrow dikes. From above they create a striking geometric pattern at the edge of Manila Bay.

Te mapa
Obando lies on the coastal lowlands of Bulacan, just north of Metro Manila, where the land and Manila Bay are hard to tell apart. On a map the town is defined by water. Rivers and tidal channels wind through it, and much of the surrounding area is divided into fishponds whose straight dikes form a large mosaic of rectangles. The built-up streets follow the narrower strips of dry land.
The town is best known for the Obando Fertility Rites, a dance festival held each May in honour of San Pascual Baylon, Santa Clara and Nuestra Señora de Salambao. Couples hoping for a child join the procession and dance through the streets toward the church. The tradition is recognised as part of the Philippines' intangible cultural heritage and draws visitors from across Luzon.
An Obando map poster shows a place shaped by its closeness to the bay. There are fishing communities along the channels, roads that follow the higher ground, and a church at the heart of the procession route. In a minimalist rendering the fishpond grid becomes an almost abstract pattern, a clear record of how this landscape is worked.
Large areas around the town are divided into rectangular fishponds separated by narrow dikes. From above they create a striking geometric pattern at the edge of Manila Bay.
Rivers and estuarine channels wind between the settlements and ponds. They give the map meandering lines that contrast with the straight pond walls.
The town centre and its church are the focus of the May fertility dance. Streets there form the most closely built part of Obando.

Koteā ko Obando
For families from Obando, the town means the waterfront, the ponds and the procession in May. A map poster is a calm way to keep that place near, especially for those who now live elsewhere in Manila or abroad.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, for example with a wedding date or a family name, and choose from five styles. Each $9 download includes six print sizes as 300 DPI PNGs and print-ready PDFs.
