Amado shows us Rizal Park

Named after the national hero

who expelled foreign powers.

We love the 3D display of the islands

Reminding us of the white and turquoise rimmed

green dots we spotted from the plane.

Amado's favourite spot,

The Intramural walls with a Romeo and Juliet vibe

Greenery climbs the ancient walls,

Tropical trees and flowers surround us.

An oasis in an urban cage.

From atop, we spot

an out-of-place golf course.

Less popular than boxing and basketball,

Amado answers our query.

Later, the traditional Filipino house

Amado treasures

Demolished.

Only the Filipino and Spanish influenced one

Remains.
