In celebration of History Month, two government offices are offering free tours to explore Makati City and parks in the city of Manila.
The National Parks Development Committee on August 9 invited the public for a guided tour around two popular parks in Manila—the Rizal Park or Luneta and the Paco Park.
“Tara at samahan kami ngayong Buwan ng Kasaysayan! Alamin ang mahahalagang kuwento at kasaysayan tungkol sa ating bansa at sa ating pambansang bayani na si Gat Jose Rizal,” the NPDC said.
“Magregister na sa aming free guided tour ng Rizal Park Luneta at Paco Park na gaganapin sa ika-13 ng Agosto 2022. Ang tour ay pangungunahan ni Ginoong Paul John Hernandez, isang guro ng Araling Panlipunan,” it added.
To join the tour, participants must register via the link attached to the post.
As of writing, the form is no longer accepting any new participants.
The tour led by Araling Panlipunan teacher Paul John Hernandez will be held on Aug. 13, 2022, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Makati City is also offering free walking tours this month.
Makati Kultura, a page that promotes the city’s culture and development, posted the schedule for this initiative on August 4.
