At the last day of January 2015, as part of our class activity, we went to Luneta and at the National Museum of the Filipino People to understand more about what happened in the past, in related to our course program, Philippine History and Governance.
Let me share you some things we have seen in there and hopefully this blog could give you an idea to also experience what we have experienced there because it was indeed enjoyable.
We started at the Luneta Park, it was a big park were in you could get a lot of relaxation and fun, what is good about it is, it was for free or there is no entrance fee for you to be able to visit. Aside from the famous monument of Dr. Jose Rizal, our country's national hero, there are a lot more things to see in this park.
Walking in this park was indeed enjoyable together with my friends but if you are a loner it could still be enjoyable because of the ambiance and the beautiful sights.
Some of you may think that walking in the park looks boring but Rizal Park could give you a lot more. If you think walking is tiring and boring, you could ride a train for only 50 php which could give you a slow and relaxing ride that will circle around the whole park. You can also try the “kalesa” or carriage, a ride pulled by a horse lastly you can also enjoy the beautiful lights and fountain show at the park for free.
Walking distance after the park is the National Museum for the Filipino people, a museum where almost all of country’s artifacts, relicts and treasures are preserved and presented for everyone who is interested, it is also for free but every sundays only, in there you can see the rich culture and beautiful past of Philippines.
Maybe you are feeling bored reading all this blog so I will just let the pictures tell you the experience we got from our adventure at the museum.
These are only glimpse of what you can see at the museum, if you want to see more you need to visit the museum and I am telling you it was worth it.
That day had been a long day for me and my friends but it was all worth it, at first I thought going to parks and museums was boring and not so enjoyable but going there together with a good company of joyful friends made my adventure an enjoyable and unforgettable one.
