Site of Rizal’s Execution

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:54:37

The site of Rizal’s execution is in Rizal Park; at the entrance is a black granite wall inscribed with Rizal’s ‘Mi Ultimo Adios’ (My Last Farewell). Eight tableaux of life-size bronze statues recreate the dramatic last moments of the hero’s life; at night these statues become part of a light-and-sound presentation dedicated to Rizal (admission P50; 7pm Wed–Sun).

The show is in Tagalog, but they’ll do it in English if you have a big enough group (or pay them enough).
