- Malaya B2 contributionsThe Spanish-era architecture is beautifully preserved, and it’s easy to get lost in the charm of this historic district in the heart of Manila.Written February 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nigel GSingapore, Singapore8,575 contributionsNice quite place to sit a while. I sat a while and my deeply seated view that in war there are no winners was reinforced. 100 000 civilians dead in the battle for the liberation of Manila. One hundred thousand who had no interest or part in the war.
The barbarism of the occupation is depicted in the National Museum of Fine Arts (among other places) in a painting Rape and Massacre in Ermita by Diosdado Lorenzo - look at that painting and link it to this place. This park is sacred to the memories of those who suffered here and are depicted in the artwork I mention. The close link is inseparable as is the suffering of the Filipino people.
Let this quiet park aspire all to understand the futility of war. Important historic location in the heart of Manila.Written February 20, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As research students, we thought we understood the challenges faced by communities in poverty, but nothing could compare to witnessing it firsthand. The tour delved into the resilience and creativity of residents, revealing life lessons we hadn't anticipated. This experience has profoundly impacted our perspectives, fostering personal growth and empathy. We are grateful to Walky Smokey for facilitating this transformative journey, which has deepened our understanding of social issues in ways research alone could never achieve.Written October 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NinoLeeZhongPingMakati, Philippines403 contributionsHistorical old bridge over the creek/ estero. Spans the banks of Veronica St. and Alvarado St. A short cut from Ongpin St to the malls and Divisoria vise versa. Made of concrete with metal railings, in the daytime you can prominently see informal settler (Alvarado St. side) (or the remnants of what was a colony) at night a flicker of lights punctuates informal human dwelling. The creek is now dead and reeks of methane and or noxious fumes, somedays are stronger than others. Despite being an old bridge, a little history is know about its origins, besides that it stood witness to the backyard where Jose Rizal remains were interred in a mansion across it (now gone and replaced by a high rise building). A note of warning, watch your step when crossing the bridge as it is littered with dog excrement. #RPWritten December 31, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
