Rizal parl / Luneta park Situated by Manila Bay, Luneta is also an important site in Philippine history. The execution of national hero Dr. José Rizal on December 30, 1896, sparked the 1898 Philippine Revolution against the Kingdom of Spain. The area was officially renamed Rizal Park in his honour, and the monument enshrining his remains serves as the symbolic focal point of the Park. The Declaration of Philippine Independence from the American Occupation was held at the Park on July 4, 1946 as were later political rallies including those of Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino in 1986 that culminated in the EDSA Revolution.
FYI the 2 monument that you can see is not Jose Rizal they are heroes who fights for Philippine freedom . Jose Rizals monument was close that time and I believe until now is under construction so they close it but in the whole park you can see a lot of heroes monument too..
actually we didnt plan to go here but my sister and her family came late for Manila Ocean Park so we decided to roam around the park just to kill the time I never been there since 5th grade educational tour. 2011 with honey we got a chance to take pictures just outside during our kalesa ride and I really forgot what the park look shame on me huh noting that I used to live near there ( one ride ) way back in college..
this was my last 2 remaining days in Manila before flying back to Florida but it was a bad day really bec. before we finished roaming around the park hard rain started to pour down like crazy that also affect our manila ocean park adventure ( will be post soon) and our whole night as well grrrrrrr..
