Centennial Clock

Located across the street from Rizal Park, the clock stands alone on a plaza across the street. I respect the significance to its symbolic presence commemorating PI history but the structure and its location understates that symbolic significance. It was worth crossing the street to examine up close for a minute or two while ruminating about the sacrifices made by Mr. Rizal and others for PI independence as I continued my walk to the park behind it.

It is really wide, good for jogging and walking. Either night or morning, it is good to visit here. Visit now!

In a very historical sense, you can feel the history in it.

The west entrance to Rizal Park is a three-dimensional clock designed by the Philippine Masonic Association (Freelipons Freemasons) and manufactured by Bulova, built in 1998 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Philippines' independence. On the pedestal was a board engraved with speeches by the then Philippine president and a Filipino mud master, next to two buffalo statues, one of the national symbols.
