Outdoor Wednesday#2 Paco Park, Manila

This is Paco Park, part of old Manila. This used to be a cemetery during the Spanish period and was the site where the national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, was buried right after his execution. The famous three priests, Gomburza, were also buried here. Nowadays, it is more popular for intimate weddings, outdoor wedding receptions, movie locations, small concerts and other events.

I posted a cemetery too, though not famous like Dr Rizal. Like the water fountain.
