PARADISE, THE PHILIPPINES - [S1- EP 21 ] - RIZAL PARK, MANILA

In this episode, we are going to visit Rizal Park. It also known as Luneta Park or simply Luneta, is a historic urban park located in Ermita, Manila. Situated on the eastern shore of Manila Bay, the park plays a significant role in shaping the history of the Philippines.

According to its illustrious history, Rizal Park was originally built in a viscous patch of area known as Paseo de la Luneta near Manila Bay in the year 1820 during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. Luneta Park came from the word lunette which means a crescent-shaped structure used for fortifications in the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries. Formerly, the park was well known to many Filipinos as Bagumbayan since 1601.

The execution of Filipino patriot José Rizal on December 30, 1896 has happened in this area. The park was officially named in his honor, and the monument enshrining his remains serves as the park's symbolic focal point.

I hope you enjoy this adventure with me.

Have fun and Lets go.
