The central park of Manila, named for José Rizal — the writer and ophthalmologist whose execution here on 30 December 1896 helped ignite the Philippine Revolution. The exact spot of his death is marked by a monument guarded year-round, with a nightly sound-and-light show. Elsewhere in the park: a three-dimensional relief map of the Philippines, a Japanese garden, a Chinese garden, and a crowded Sunday scene of joggers, families, and buskers.
