A. MABINI STREET - The Busy Strip of Kapasigan, Pasig City

A part of the formerly called Pasig town proper (Pasig has long been a city), the popularly called Kapasigan is actually A. Mabini Street.

The barangay's prominent feature is a busy one-way strip where various business establishments dot each side of the street leading to the Immaculate Conception Parish and the Pasig City public plaza junction in Barangay Malinao.

Among the locals, it's the century-old Filipino bakery called Dimas-alang that represents Kapasigan more than anything. There are other bakeries in the area but most of them don't have the authentic charm of old Pasig. The last competitor to challenge Dimas-alang was Julie's Bakery which already closed down. Currently, there's 3N Bakery nearby, but it was the antiquated El Pasig that came neck and neck with the city's long-standing bakery giant. Unfortunately, El Pasig's last branch closed down also decades ago.

Other types of businesses also keep the environment in Kapasigan productive. Optical and hardware stores can be found left and right. The enduring optical business in the strip is already an institution -- the Solapco Optical Clinic -- and remains to be visible in the middle of it all.

It's also in Kapasigan where a junior version of the enormous Mutya Ng Pasig palengke (marketplace) was. Residents recall calling it as "lumang palengke" (old marketplace).

Visitors of the city can also find spiritual solace in the area as a small parish still stands there and holds masses on special occasions.

In old paintings that can be found inside the Pasig City Museum, one can discover that a portion of the strip of A. Mabini Street used to be a shallow brook where a train railway used to be installed.
