I was with my colleague, Keevee for a client meeting in Paco. Our taxi driver dropped us off at the gate of Paco Park (as i knew it then). We were giddy to take a peek at the gated park but first things first --meet the client who's office is just in front of the park (how convenient eh?)
I am not proud to mention on this post that in my 26 years here in Manila, i have never set foot on this historical ground. I know I know (what the F! right?) But I have now and I'm surprised to learn that this used to be a cemetery and the remains of our National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal were interred here for more than a decade. A historical landmark amidst a bustling city. And its great that this place is being taken cared of.
Before I just knew that this is a place where people get married and have wedding parties and cultural concerts...now I know better.
Come visit and walk down memory lane.
