Monument sights in Manila

  1. A

    Monument to Boy Scouts

    In the heart of the commercial action in Quezon City, in a traffic circle where Timog Ave and T Morato Ave meet, the Monument to Boy Scouts will not be winning any merit badges for appearance. Many of the life-size statues of scouts could use a few square knots in order to stay in one piece. Numerous nearby sidestreets are named after scouts - a mayor years ago was a big fan.

    0km Post

    Across Roxas Blvd, directly in front of the Rizal Monument, the 0km Post marks the spot from where distances in the Philippines are measured (secular-minded Americans moved it here from Manila Cathedral).

    Ninoy Aquino Statue

    There’s a famous Ninoy Aquino Statue showing him right before he was shot. It’s built on the spot where many pro-democracy rallies took place in the 1980s and 1990s.
