What is a trip to Manila City without seeing Paco Park's famed Cemetery, whose imposing magnificent structure leaves no question as its beautiful history and connections. But many people miss this place and its relevance to the society.
This park served an important part in our history, because this is where the three martyr priests, GOMBURZA, was interred. But much more than that, this is where Dr. Jose Rizal, Our National Hero, was laid to rest after being shot in Bagumbayan.
Paco Park is open everyday from 7 AM to 5 PM, entrance fee is P10.00, the park is maintained by National Park's Development Committee and the chapel is under San Vicente de Paul Parish.
This is definitely a wonderful place to sit and relax for a while.
