Since the Spanish Colonial Era, the park has been a favorite spot for unwinding, socializing, an urban oasis for family picnics on Sundays and holidays. It is one of the major tourist attractions of Manila.

Located along Manila Bay, Luneta has been the site of some of the most significant moments in Philippine history. The execution of pacifist Dr. Jos&eacute; Rizal on December 30, 1896, sparked the fire of the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish colonizers, elevating the martyr as the national hero of the country.

The park was officially renamed Rizal Park in his honor and his monument serves as the symbolic focal point of the park. The Declaration of Philippine Independence from American rule was held here on July 4, 1946 as well as the political rallies of Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino in 1986 that led to the EDSA Revolution that deposed Marcos ending his dictatorial government.

The Manila City Hall during 1901 was made up of Oregon pine which covered one-third of the area used by the current building. After 31 years of occupancy, City Engineer Santiago Artiaga suggested reinforcing the floor of the weakened structure supporting the session hall used by the municipal board and avoid the accommodation of too many people along the corridors and in the hallway.

The building sits on a trapezoidal shape of the lot in between the Legislative and Post Office buildings. Due to the monotony of the building envelope, one cannot distinguish the principal facade from the main entrance properly. The south entrance has a balcony emphasized by three arches resting on Corinthian columns while the north entrance has the same design treatment but has pediments and a tall, hexagonal clock tower capped by a dome.

The clock tower, also designed by Antonio Toledo which was completed during the 1930s is the largest clock tower in the Philippines. It stands out during nighttime when the whole of the tower lights up. Every hour, they rung the bell three times continued by a melody. It has now become the icon for the city of Manila.

The Greenbelt Chapel is located in the middle of the Makati Business District and in the center of the Shopping Malls. It is surrounded by trees and plants wherein kids and family can relax.&nbsp;

This place is for those who&rsquo;d love to know about the religious aspects of Manila city. The construction of this chapel was completed in the year 1983. Apart from being one of the most religiously rich places, Greenbelt Chapel is also renowned for its architecture and is therefore counted amongst the most attractive buildings in the city.

Faith is friendship with Christ His Holiness. Pope Benedict XVI opened the Year of Faith on Oct. 11, 2012, bringing a moment of grace to the whole Catholic Church. This date falls on the 50th anniversary of Vatican II Council. It was that historic Church council which responded to Blessed John XXII&#39;s call to interpret and act upon the signs of times. This date also marks the 20th anniversary the publication of The Catechism for the Catholic Church. 
 
The Holy Father stresses that the occasion does not revolve around anniversaries. These are things from the past. He instead highlights Faith and New Evangelization, as there is a greater need now than ever. In a world where materialism, individualism, and relativism are all threatening to destroy humanity, we need more faith. 
 
The old Church Europe and America stations are disappearing. This means that new energy, new pastoral approaches, and new prophets is needed to carry on the mission of evangelization. Our dear Archbishop Chito tagle, in his pastoral letter, invites us all to examine the present world and its wounds, to hear the deepest cries, aspirations, and to proclaim Jesus Christ to these people with new methods, expressions, and fervor. Individual and collective challenges are presented by the Year of Faith. 
 
Through catechisms and faith formation sessions, we can deepen our faith through bible studies, catechisms, and other means. It is important to evaluate whether our faith drives our actions and choices. It is important to celebrate and live out our faith celebrations, particularly the sacraments. With the canonization of San Pedro Calungsod, our second Filipino saint, The Year of Faith has a greater meaning. 
 
He is a shining example of the virtues that we should emulate: his zeal and courage to share the faith, and dedication to the mission and Church are all to be celebrated. It was a great way to begin the Year of Faith in Philippines. Our role model is also our intercessor. We have saints in faith at San Lorenzo Ruiz, and San Pedro Calungsod. 
 
These are the people who have walked ahead of us on our path to inspire and lead. These people remind us about our calling. All of us are called to become saints. The Year of Faith will awaken the call of Christ in us. 
 
The most important thing is that authentic faith allows us to deepen and cultivate our relationship with Christ, a favourite expression of Pope Francis. It means that I believe I&#39;m a friend to Jesus. When I&#39;m a friend to the Lord, His joy and my joy are His. His mission is mine. 
 
Saints are friends of Jesus. A person who is close to Jesus can be called a friend. To conclude, I will quote Pope Benedict XVI&#39;s words: May this Year of Faith strengthen our relationship to Christ the Lord. Only in Christ can we have the certainty of looking into the future, and also the assurance of a genuine and lasting love.
