"Manila, Manila, I keep coming back to Manila" Manila by mikoykoy

Maraming beses na kitang nilayasan
Iniwanan at iba ang pinuntahan
Parang babaeng ang hirap talagang malimutan
Ikaw lamang ang aking laging binabalikan

Manila, I keep coming back to Manila
Simply no place like Manila
Manila I'm coming home

I walked the streets of San Francisco
I've tried the rides in Disneyland
Dated a million girls in Sydney
Somehow I feel like I don't belong

Hinahanap-hanap kita Manila
Ang ingay mong kay sarap sa tenga
Mga jeepney mong nagliliparan
Mga babae mong naggagandahan
Take me back in your arms Manila
and promise me you'll never let go
Promise me you'll never let go

I always feel proud whenever I pass by at Rizal Park seeing tourist taking a their photo with Rizal Monument as the background. That's why when we visited the place one time, my family took the opportunity also to pose for a picture.

Rizal Park is already part of Philippine history. Formerly called as Bagumbayan and Luneta, this is the place where our national hero, Jose Rizal was executed. That is one of the reason why the park was named after him.

Another event that took place here was the Mass celebrated by Pope John Paul II for the World Youth Day.

Rizal Park is also a familiar venue for Independence Day celebration, free concerts, political rallies.

• Pros:Good food, nice people, lots of historical places
• Cons:Lots of traffic and mendicants
• In a nutshell:Simply no place like Manila
