The Rizal Monument is a memorial monument in Rizal Park in Manila, Philippines built to commemorate the Filipino nationalist, José Rizal. The mausoleum consists of a standing bronze sculpture of the martyr, with an obelisk as his backdrop, set on a pedestal upon which his remains are interred. A plaque on the pedestal front reads: "To the memory of José Rizal, patriot and martyr, executed on Bagumbayan Field December Thirtieth 1896.

Train of Thomas and friends!
To be exact, it is just the head train that answer to this as the 2nd and 3rd cars behind it are a not in the league of Thomas and his friends at all—tall, metallic, stately in its fashion, at the back of which are color photos labeled “Intramuros” and “Rizal Park”. Still, kids and their companion/s seem to love riding this contraption. Stylized calesas (horse-drawn carriage) going round bearing could-be balikbayan(visiting Filipinos living abroad). - source Work in progress Pinay

- Chinese Garden. An ornate Chinese-style gate, carved with swirling dragons, leads you into this whimsical garden which looks like it has been transported from old Peking. Along the lagoon constructed to simulate a small lake, are pagodas and gazebos that are set off by red pillars and green-tiled roofs and decorated with a profusion of mythical figures. - source Wikipedia
Relief Map of the Philippines

My tip for you is if you will go here be early around 7am you can see how peaceful it is and how beautiful this place. It's better to come early so you could go to other places and it's not too hot so its the best to go early in the morning. :) I was really happy and great of the BIG changes of Luneta park a.k.a Rizal park, it improves a lot!. If i were you don't miss a chance to visit here it's very important because it is a History of our country. :) It's more fun in the Philippines. :)
