Heroes Square aims to provide avenues that will help heal and grow our fractured Filipino nationalism. Heroes Square believes that bringing stories of Filipino heroism to life and celebrating Filipino heritage can enlighten people and lead them towards personal, social, and national transformation.

 

By showing that the world of our heroes is still the world we live in today, Heroes Square aims to move Filipinos to see the Philippines with new eyes, to fill our hearts and our minds with dreams of greater possibility and potential. By showing that our heroes are people like ourselves, with lives like our own, Heroes Square aims to embolden and empower people into realizing that they, too, can be heroes, and therefore, have the ability and the responsibility to act heroically.

In executing its work, Heroes Square speaks mainly to young people, especially those who are still in school. Heroes Square believes that the youth are the Filipinos who are in the best position to imbibe and live out heroic values. Heroes Square hopes that by nurturing a paradigm shift and enlightenment among the youth, it can spark change and growth in the country in years to come.

Mi Último Adiós
Celebrating the life and heroism of Dr. José Rizal

Enter the Rizal Shrine museum and learn about the National Hero of the Philippines, Dr. José Rizal. Guided by a docent, examine precious artifacts, relics and other artworks that reveal his passion for the arts and sciences. Afterwards, visit the prison cell where he was incarcerated.

Go up the grand staircase and set foot on the holiest part of the shrine. Get a view of the actual things that Rizal used – his clothes, exercise equipment and other personal effects. Then turn your eyes towards the center of the room and gaze at the reliquary containing a piece of bone from his vertebrae where the bullet which took his life is said to be imbedded up to now.

Finally, get to meet José Rizal, Josephine Bracken, Doña Teodora Alonzo and Padre Sanchez in a heartwarming musical drama presentation at the Valedictory Hall. Don’t forget to take a moment and reflect on the question: What was Rizal’s life all about?

Viva La Independencia!
The retelling of a nation’s struggle for freedom

Pass through the gates of Fort Santiago and experience an animated, theatrical walking tour of the National Shrine of Freedom. Amidst centuries-old baluartes and vaulted chambers, listen to stories that recount the Filipino people’s struggle to gain independence from its colonizers.

Proceed to the Plaza Moriones fountain and learn about the fall and rise of Philippine freedom as two comical characters dramatize and reenact significant events in history. Join them as they journey through various periods and show you around the country’s oldest stone fortress. 

La Ciudad Murada
Rediscovering Intramuros on board the Tranvía

Step on board the Tranvía, which is a recreation of the early 20th century electric rail car, and visit different historical sites within the Walled City.

Guided by a docent, get a glimpse of life during the Spanish period and learn about the Filipinos’ courage and resilience throughout their history as a people. Lastly, appreciate the value of preserving Intramuros as a window to the past and an important heritage landmark in the Philippines.
