The marker is located at Barangay Calzada, Tipas, Taguig City, where the ancestral home of Manalo once stood. The marker sits on a 744 square meter plaza.

Libingang ng mga Bayani (Heroes' Cemetery)

This place is the final resting place of 33,520 Filipinos who laid their lives for the country during the Second World War.  Dignitaries and personnel of the Philippine military from privates to generals are also buried here.
The Republic Memorial Cemetery at Fort McKinley was established in May 1947 as a fitting tribute to the gallant Filipino men and women who brought honor to the country and fought for the sake of freedom and democracy.


Manila American Cemetery and Memorial

The Manila American Cemetery and Memorial is located in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, Metro Manila, within the boundaries of the former Fort William McKinley. It can be reached most easily from the city via Epifano de los Santos Ave. (EDSA) to McKinley Road, then to McKinley Parkway inside the Bonifacio Global City. The Nichols Field Road is the easiest access from Manila International Airport to the cemetery.


The cemetery, 152 acres (62 ha) or 615,000 square metres in area, is located on a prominent plateau, visible at a distance from the east, south and west. With a total of 17,206 graves, it has the largest number of graves of any cemetery for U.S. personnel killed during World War II and holds war dead from the Philippines and other allied nations.

Parola

his centuries-old lighthouse became the secret rendezvous point of the Katipunan as it planned its revolution for Philippine Independence. 

The Parola was chosen by KKK Supremo Gat Andres Bonifacio as a meeting place because it was the most accessible channel from Tondo, Manila and from the Municipios along the Pasig River and the Province of Laguna.

Simborio

This place is lying as centerpiece of the Sta. Ana Catholic Cemetery, erected by Filipino labor and supervised by Spanish friars in the year 1700.

The dome is made of tiles and the walls of stones. The structure is 12 meters in diameter. It has retained its quaint mysterious appeal despite the minor repairs it has undergone in 1980 and in 1993.

St. Anne Church

Built in 1587, Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Anne , located in Barangay Sta. Ana, Taguig, is definitely one of the oldest churches in the Philippines.

This was destroyed by an earthquake in 1645 and reconstructed in 1848.  It was destroyed again by another earthquake and was rebuilt in 1896 by Fr. Guillermo Diaz. A new retablo was installed in the year 2003 by the then parish priest, Rev. Fr. Roy M. Rosales.

Veterans Museum

This museum features war stories as interpreted by life-sized montages and retold by different art forms combined with advanced technology.

It is the only museum in our country that shows World War II in form of tableaus on the daily life of Filipino crusaders during the said time. A secret tunnel, used during World War II, is part of a guided tour of the Philippine Army Museum. Displayed at the Museum are war materials such as weaponry, war relics and dioramas depicting the multi-dimensional role of army soldiers.
