                    [Summary] => In the late 1930s, Ignacio Pineda Gaddi led his workers in "harvesting" sand from the Pasig River. Medium-sized boats would gather up sand towards the riverbanks where workers called caskeros would use large, semi-circular implements to scoop up the sand and load them into the boats.


Gaddi Gravel and Sand was a respected Quiapo-based establishment that thrived even after World War II. In fact, it supplied materials to build the Quezon Bridge at a time when houses were being cleared to make for a wider Martin Ocampo St., now known as Quezon Blvd.
