PACO PARK<br />
959 San Marcelino Street, Paco, Manila City<br />
1814. “Paco Cemetery (now Paco Park) was built<br />
in the suburb of San Fernando de Dilao. The<br />
construction of the cemetery began in 1814, but<br />
the cholera epidemic that wreaked havoc on the<br />
city prompted the use of the cemetery in 1820. The<br />
Cementerio General de Dilao became the resting<br />
place for Spaniards, indios, and mestizos who came<br />
from the different parishes adjacent Manila, which<br />
included Intramuros, Binondo, Quiapo, San Miguel,<br />
Sta. Cruz, Sampaloc, Tondo, Ermita and Malate.<br />
Paco Park, its niches empty and no longer used for<br />
burials, is now a hushed, well cultivated park.<br />
The remains of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal<br />
were interred in the cemetery immediately after<br />
his execution in Bagumbayan (now Luneta). He was<br />
buried in the ground between the inner and outer<br />
walls and his former burial site marked with his<br />
initials in reverse R.P.J (Rizal Protacio Jose). The<br />
bodies of the Gomburza, the three martyred priests,<br />
were also buried in the historic Paco Cemetery”.<br />
