PHOTOGRAPHY and WORDS BY MARIANO SAYNO

Located along Roxas Boulevard, Manila and adjacent to the century-old walled city of Intramuros, the Luneta National Park, or “Luneta” as many refer to it, is an historical urban park that is known to be the site of the execution of national hero Dr. Jose Rizal on December 30, 1896. In addition to being one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Philippines, it is also one of the largest urban parks in the world.
