Formerly a cementery during the Spanish time built in 1820 by the Dominican Fathers. At the black of the chapel, Rizal the Philippine ntional hero, was secretly buried after his execution. Later his remains exchumed and was transferred to the Luneta.

Not really a MUST must...but if in you're the area, a stroll through Rizal Park is an interesting experience.
Jose Rizal is, officially, the national hero of the Philippines. I could go on and on about this dubious honor conferred upon him by the occupying Americans, but suffice it to say that his death at the hands of the Spaniards was the spark that lit the revolutionary fuse. Rizal, to his credit, was an outstanding author and poet, and his writings are exemplary displays of talent that are still well-appreciated today. The site upon which his monument stands is near the spot where he was executed on December 30, 1896. Behind the monument is a long gallery of busts of local heroes. There's a light and sound show of the events leading up to Rizal's execution near the monument.

I've seen a calesa stand on its rear end once because of overloading. This one doesn't come close to that.

Q: How much is the most affordable beach footwear that I can use even under water? (--,) Thanks. -Ralf Luwee

A: A little off-topic but I recall Imelda Marcos, former Philippine First Lady, was (or still is) a bit of a shoe-addict - around three thousand pairs!

Capital City of the Philippines

Manila is underrated as a tourist destination. It has fun places to go to. And plenty of history and art also. This is a picture of Intramuros at night.
