    The monument honours national hero and patriot, José Rizal. The monument consists of a granite base in which are entombed the patriot's remains. Rising above the base is an obelisk with statue of Rizal standing and holding a book in his hand. To his right a woman holding a child is seated and represents family. On his left side are two youths reading books and representing knowledge. The monument is continuously guarded by honour guard sentries drawn from the Philippine forces.

    This is somewhat a modest structure across the busy road in front of Rizal Park. Our guide advised that it is located close to the "Kilometre Zero" marker, the point from which all distances from Manila are measured. The clock is three faced and mounted on a stone pillar. It was a project undertaken by the Freemasons of the country in recognition of the Centennial of the first Philippine Republic.

    Once was a decrepit place not fit to honor Andres Bonifacio is now a clean space for humans to roam around and admire the mural to the national hero. Great place to be hear early mornings or at weekends when traffic and pollution (noise and vehicle fumes) isn't a bother. #RP

    The National Flagpole is located on the spot where the Philippine flag was raised on July 4th, 1946, the date of full independence from the United States. The original flagpole was 45.72m high but damaged during Typhoon Angela in 1995 reduced the height to 32m. The present flagpole constructed, from Q345 steel, was installed in 2013 to the original height of 45.72m.
