Topped by angels, this towering monument was erected in honor of Manuel L. Quezon, a brilliant and charismatic leader who would have become the first elected president of the Philippines had he not succumbed to tuberculosis while in exile in the U.S. during World War II. His integrity was demonstrated by the landmark code of ethics he wrote which is in practice to this day. Inside the shrine are relics and memorabilia including family souvenirs and pictures of the great man. The park encircling the shrine is used for a fascinating mix of activities including chess championships, massage therapies by the blind, and ballroom dancing.
