Although a barrio in the Philippine sense is a tranquil little town tucked in the outskirts of the cities, a barrio in Spanish is supposedly almost the equivalent of the Philippine barangay. They are actual locales of large cities, so there can be a barrio in Mexico City - it doesn't have to be hidden in the countryside.
We were asked to make a piece for Spanish - to be presented in class tomorrow, so here's mine. Please forgive me for the errors.
Mi Barrio : Bulua
Vengo de Bulua, un barrio que está a las afueras de la Ciudad de Cagayan de Oro. Mi barrio no está bien comunicado a veces porque tiene unos pocos medios de transporte.
En Bulua hay tres grandes cementerios - dos privados y un publico: Divine Shepherd y Greenhills, y Brown. Los cementerios está cerca grandes urbanizaciónes tambien: Terry Hills, Villa Candida, y Soldiers Hill.
El estudio de ABS-CBN en Mindanao Norte está cerca Brown y Greenhills. La iglesia de mi barrio es la Iglesia de la Imaculada Concepcion. En Bulua hay playas, una estación de autobús, iglesias, farmacias, un mercado enfrente un centro comercial y muchos restaurantes de lechon manok tambien. Es un barrio muy ruidoso porque está al lado de una carretera nacional.
Here's what I think I said:
I live in Bulua, a barrio that is in the outskirts of Cagayan de Oro City. My barrio is not accessible sometimes because there are few modes of transportation.
In Bulua there are three large cemeteries, two private ones and a public one: Divine Shepherd and Greenhills, and Brown. The cemeteries are near large subdivisions, too: Terry Hills, Villa Candida, and Soldiers Hill. The church of my barrio is the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
The studio of ABS-CBN in Northern Mindanao is near Brown and Greenhills. In Bulua there are beaches, a bus station, churches, pharmacies, a market in front of a mall, and many restaurants of lechon manok, too. It is a very noisy barrio because it is beside a national highway.
Am I not such a wonderful tourist guide?
