Did you know that ... In 1896, Philippine national hero JOSE P. RIZAL was executed by the Spanish. His body was buried in an unmarked grave in PACO PARK Cemetery.
When Rizal’s sisters discovered his grave, they bribed the guards to mark it with “RPJ,” his initials in reverse, to hide the spot from the Spanish. Though Rizal’s body has since been moved, now entombed about a kilometer away beneath a monument that bears his name, the coded grave marker remains at Paco Park.
