The quietness in Manila-American Cemetery and Memorial

This is one of my favorite things to do in Taguig - having a quiet and peaceful time here at the Manila-American Cemetery and Memorial. Here, you only hear birds chirping and leaves falling from the trees as the wind blows.

It contains the largest number of graves of our military dead of World War II, a total of 17,201, most of whom lost their lives in operations in New Guinea and the Philippines.
