Travel of Calamba Laguna

Calamba's Banga

 In 1759 the Jesuit Missionaries purchased a big portion of land called Hacienda de San Juan, but the parish was established only in 1779 by the Franciscan Friars. In this church, Fray Rufino Collantes baptized our national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, on June 22, 1861. the original altar was burned in 1862 but immediately rebuilt by Fray Leoncio Lopez. the first Filipino priest, Fr. Angel Villaruz, served this church for 43 years since 1901. the incumbent Parish Priest is 

Big and huge trees surrounded the yard.  Check this out how huge the trees are when we took Raf’s picture running…

Jose Rizal was born, the seventh child of Francisco Mercado Rizal and Teodora Alonso, on June 19, 1861. His parents belonged to the middle class and lived on the tenant land ownedby the friars in Calamba,Laguna.

Outside the house is the replica of Rizal’s childhood.

Malate Church

Malate Church

Malate Church is a church in Manila, Philippines. It is a Baroque-style church which faces a small park and beyond that Manila Bay. Malate Church was originally built in 1591. Its so huge and beautiful.

I read this poster when I understood it about history of malate church. First, The church was greatly damaged by the earthquake of June 3, 1863 and was rebuilt by Rev. Francisco Cuadrado.

I entered into the church when I felt wonderful that's so huge and beautiful. It can be wedding, baptism, etc... I hope that the other people who need to aware about Malate history.

Plaza Rajah Sulayman and Malate Church

This plaza is flanked by Aristocrat House on its right and Max's Restaurant on its left. Across the plaza is Manila Bay. Take a stroll along Baywalk and enjoy the Manila Bay Sunset.

But I don't have read about background of Rajah Sulayman when I didn't look where put the poster. I want to know what background of him.

Cultural Center of the Philippines

CCP was created in 1966, during President Ferdinand Marcos regime, through Executive Order No. 30. It was inaugurated in September 8, 1969, giving the Philippine culture and arts a home.

I am proud of Filipino that 's good musical and artistic because its so beautiful and own uniqueness. I felt wonderful because Ferdinand Marcos ideas to create the CCP. Its purpose to have a program the musical and  Folk Art Theater etc.

Rizal Park & Luneta Park

Formerly called Bagumbayan (New Town) during the Spanish times, Luneta Park got its present name since it was in the shape of a half-moon or a lunette. On February 17, 1872, three Filipino priests (Jose Burgos, Mariano Gomez and Jacinto Zamora or collectively known as Gomburza) were martyred here after being accused of spearheading the 1872 Cavite uprising. On July 4, 1946, the Republic of the Philippines was declared as fully independent on this site. I am aware that Luneta Park (lunette). i wondered that Philippines was can be independent...

Luneta itself is wide. From Roxas Boulevard all the way to Taft Avenue, it is a civic-park for the people lined up by several museums, mini-gardens, government offices, a planetarium, a national library, a grandstand and a newly-opened marine park. This is Kilometer zero at its peak. Luneta seems to be the heart of everything Manila.

I don't know people who problem because of Rizal Jose and as i don't know what do he problems... I think maybe Rizal Jose don't have problem when people who have jealous so they kill to him.. i miss him because i want him to life, whatever i want to say "THANK YOU" to Rizal Jose for helping our Filipino and Philippines.

Located right at the heart of Manila, Luneta Park or Riza Park was the Bagumbayan of the by-gone days. Back then, when you gravely committed atrocity to the Spanish authorities, executions were held here. It was here that an ilustrado and our country’s national hero Jose Rizal was publicly shot dead by the Spanish troops because he was accused of insinuating rebellion in once colonized Philippines.
