It's history and it's greatest place in Manila. It sounds strange, but when I need a calm time and fresh air I would go here. It's memorial, not a cemetery actually. Beautifully set with a lof of trees. There are big park behind the memorial inside the gate. #givethanks #givethanks

I had known about this place in BGC for a long time, but I had never been able to visit it because I didn't know you could go inside. By chance, I found out that it was open to the public when I was reading this article, so I decided to visit. You can enter for free if you just register your ID at the entrance gate. This is a place to mourn mainly Americans and Filipinos who died in World War II. The site is very large, with countless graves (white crosses) lined up on well-maintained lawns. In the back center is the visitor center, where they display the history of the war. I was able to learn about the situation at that time, and there were some scenes that made me feel a little sad about the tragic situation. The place itself is very pleasant to walk around. It was a very rare experience to learn about history and think about the situation at that time, while escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. #solotravel

When I went to Manila, I am shocked by the unique and the interesting history of the American Cemetery and Memorial. Hundreds and thousands of graveyards tidily set in the memory of american heroes. The green grass and the peaceful atmosphere really says it all, rest in peace... our heroes. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
