I liked the location of the Park. It is near a couple of Museums as well as a short cab ride to the Mall of Asia. The park was well laid out and the people were friendly. The side parks could hav had more flowers to make them even more beautiful. there are plenty of vendors there also. They no longer allow one to get close to the statue which is now guarded. The decline of English was not noticeable to me as my companions spoke it quite well. Many did use the dialect tagalog though. I see no problem with that as it is a dialect of their home language. Most filipinos are multi lingual. I can only speak English, very impressed with there compasion and hospitality.

nothing. i love rizal park to much! i cannot wait to go back. and when i do i hope it doesnt rain! I love dr. jose rizal!

i do not like the smell around the place and at night there are people sleeping in the bench.i also saw some pick pocketers but in fairness the view unforgetable for me because of its history.

On a number of visits to PI, I made many friends in the Park, debated there, led a campaign to have debating restored when the authorities suppressed it, and much else. But the Park, and Manila, have deteriorated in two ways: First, for an English-speaking foreigner, the deline of English means that there are many there now who cannot speak with you. Second, the air pollution has gradully reached the point that it is oppressive--sometimes one can actually smell it. How sad!

The Rizal Park is a very significant place in Philippine history because it is where Dr. Jose Rizal, the greatest person who ever lived, was executed.

Oh supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! whatta wonderful place! I hope that I should come in back there soon..
