    An Outlook on Places Related to Dr.

    Jose Rizal
    Last October 14, along with a few of my classmates from ABCOMM301,
    we visited two of the historical places in Manila, which are related to our
    national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.
    Fort Santiago
    Located at the far end within the vicinity of Intramuros, Fort Santiago is
    one of the most-sought tourist spots in Manila with its rich history.
    Preserved through time, Fort Santiago is a living proof of our country’s
    struggles from even before the Spanish period.
    Ruins of what used to be the jail for prisoners, can still be seen inside the
    premises of Fort Santiago.

    Inside the Fort Santiago, just


    beside the Plaza de Armas, a
    ruin of what seemed like Rizal’s
    cell when he was imprisoned, can
    be seen with a wax figure of him
    inside.

    The cell is fairly spacious,


    indicating that Rizal really had
    enough space to work on his
    medical practice and literary
    pieces while imprisoned.

    There are dungeons that can be


    seen if you walk around but are
    presently closed to the public.
    Rizal Museum can also be found
    nearby where it exhibits Rizal’s
    life and martyrdom.
    By the Baluarte de Santa Barbara, we also
    found a stone bust of Dr. Jose Rizal.
    Beneath where it was placed, was the
    Bastion de San Lorenzo which was the
    dungeon where Rizal was locked up for his
    execution.

    Luneta Park
    On December 30,1896, Dr. Jose Rizal was executed at Bagumbayan,
    which is presently called as Luneta Park.
    Always filled with tourists, Luneta Park is one of our country’s most
    beloved historical site. Here you can find the Rizal Monument that
    contains Rizal’s remains which is always heavily guarded.
    Not so distant from the monument, lies the Site of Rizal’s execution which
    was previously open to the public before. According to a local vendor
    there, presentations were held as tribute to the national hero.
