Rizal Park
~random scribbles of sulaiman zafir~
Hello cheery chums! It was full day for us exploring every nook and cranny of this amazing city called Manila. Our taxi driver, Leo, a middle-aged Pinoy full of humility and wisdom, was with us all the way. By late evening, we made a stop at the “must see” place ~ Rizal Park. Simply to me, Rizal Park is to Manila what Hyde Park is to London and KLCC Park is to KL. It is situated at the northern end of Roxas Boulevard (the longest stretch of main road in the entire city famed with endless hotels and fine dining ~ and of course, great sunset scene). I noticed a really tall flagpole with a Philippines flag on the left and Abah quickly diverted my attention to the adjacent monument, the Rizal monument. We took a few snapshots with it in the background and other tourists can be seen doing the same from all angles. Ninda who once visited the place like some 20 odd years ago also had a photo taken there and today again, with us. After that,we all crossed the 6-lane road (or could it be 8? ~ i can’t recall) back to our chauffeur of the day, Leo.
