History

The Bonifacio and the Katipunan Revolution Monument, situated within the grounds of the Bonifacio Shrine, and designed by Filipino sculptor Eduardo Castrillo, was unveiled in 1998. On September 21, 2006, the Victims of Martial law Memorial Wall was inaugurated at the park under the leadership of Mayor Lito Atienza. In 2019, the plaza was rehabilitated upon the orders of Mayor Isko Moreno who ordered the removal of occupying vendors, additional flora, planting of Bermuda grass and a central fountain in front of the Bonifacio monument. The city's continuous cleanup and removal of illegal vendors made visible the bronze monument commemorating Emilio Jacinto, which had been obscured for several years.A musical dancing fountain was installed in front of the shrine monument. It was inaugurated in February 2020.
