PACO PARK

In 1807, cholera epidemics struck Manila. The construction of a cemetery was ordered, where one had to pay 20 pesos to bury the dead for three years. On December 30, 1896, José Rizal, the national hero, was buried here. In 1912, the burials stopped and the families of the deceased had to exhume their ancestors and move them to other cemeteries... A strange story. In 1966, the cemetery of Paco Park was declared a national park and became a popular place for people to walk around.
