TWO-DIAL ARCH CLOCK FOR SAN JOSE OCC. MINDORO

In April 13, 2015, it was the first time I drove my L300 inter islands with two large clock dials and its mechanisms and the control panel and full of tools and parts accessories as if I brought along my entire shop in Cavite all the way to Mindoro Occidental. A four-man team we travel the land and sea, watching my L300 on board the RORO every now and then.
The design of the clock is another first for me to do for the people of San Jose because I have made the chime and melody recordable. Meaning, if they don't like the previous melodies anymore they can change it whatever melodies they want in no time at all. The clock is also illuminated with LED controlled by a timer.
Arriving at the Port of Calapan City early in the morning we started to travel the land of Mindoro Oriental. And by looking at my GPS San Jose is at the edge of the southern most part of Mindoro Occ.
We arrived at San Jose safely, although there are a lot of experiences we encountered on the way as all of us are first timer to visit the province. Here is the project site, designed by the municipal's Architects and Engineers.
The following day, we immediately started the installations of two dial-clocks. We spent 2 days to complete the work.
Seen is the Mangyan statue being placed on top of my clock. Mangyan tribe is an ancient people first inhabitant of the Mindoro Island. We saw lot of them along the road and still in their "bahag".
The latest picture of the project after the completion of clock installation. Glad to be part of these municipal developmental project.
