There are so many historical places you can find in the Philippines but I want to share this with you...
The premier park of the Philippines, Rizal Park ( also known as Luneta Park) is an urban and historical park located in the heart of Manila City, the Capital of the Philippines. It is officially called "Rizal Park" in honor of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the country's National Hero who was executed in this place on December 30, 1896. During the Spanish period, it was known as "Bagumbayan" meaning "new town". Luneta Park has been the site of some of the most significant moments in the Philippine history.
Showcasing the country's culture and heritage, the park is a major tourists attraction in the City of Manila. It is also the favourite spot for strolling and for families to have picnics especially on Sundays and Holidays. On the Western end of the park is Quirino Grandstand where important events such as the celebration of Independence Day are held. Across the Rizal Monument is a large flagpole that also serves as the point from which road distance in the Philippines are measured.
Nowadays, the park is a favourite place for dating and for family picnics because of its spacious grassy lawns open-air concert hall that features live entertainment and music.
The park is a public space, hence, it is always open to everyone. The best time to go there, however, is early in the morning or late in the afternoon, in time for viewing Manila Bay's sunset or for exploring the park's dining and entertainment.
