Newly-rehabilitated Eastern Portion of Rizal Park Binuksan na sa Publiko! ??

This is the ongoing rehabilitation and redevelopment of Rizal Park's eastern section.

In Section 6 of Republic Act 11333, the eastern section of the Rizal Park is now appropriated to the National Museum of the Philippines to form what it calls the National Museum Complex.

According to Republic Act 11333, “The National Museum shall develop the National Museum Complex within and adjacent to Rizal Park and other identified areas with reference to the Burnham Plan for Manila of 1905.”

The ongoing construction of the National Museum Complex where the proposed Quincentennial Pavillion, the proposed National Planetarium, National Herbarium and Quincentennial Exhibition Building shall be built beside the existing National Museum of Anthropology and the National Museum of Natural History.

(According to bidding documents for the development of National Museum Complex in Manila, Phase I.) In June last year, the relief map of the Philippines was demolished to pave the way for the construction of the proposed Quincentennial
Exhibition Building.

Barns said the fundamental basis for the demolition was Republic Act 11333 or the National Museum of the Philippines Act of 2018 that was the impetus for the agency to make a long-term plan, including building a new exhibition hall over the site of what used to be the Relief Map.

A proposed building of National Herbarium will soon rise beside the National Museum of Natural History.

The Philippine National Herbarium is considered the largest collection in Southeast Asia housing more than a million specimens dating back to the 18th century and a science library that was unequaled in the Far East. PNH destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in 1946.

The proposed National Herbarium is a modern facility that will house the collection of Philippine floras and faunas.

Another proposed building that will soon rise along Taft Avenue is the Quincentennial Exhibition Building.

A proposed new building of National Planetarium will replace the old one.

The proposed National Planetarium will feature educational and entertaining shows about astronomy. The popular children's playground located near the National Museum of Natural History has also been demolished last year as part of the redevelopment project.

The popular playground used to be maintained by the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC). Now the area is under the jurisdiction of the National Museum by virtue of the Republic Act 11333 or National Museum Act.

These proposed four new buildings are planned to be constructed at the eastern section of Rizal Park. Once completed, the public will have easy access to these museums all in one place. Rizal Park is undergoing redevelopment that aims to transform the historic park into a world class tourist destination.

Meanwhile, the newly-rehabilitated eastern section
of Rizal Park is now open to the public. The park has new concrete walkways, dozens of lamp posts and newly-planted palm trees.

To get here, you need to enter the National Museum of Anthropology where the entrance and exit are located.

The park is open to the public from Mondays to Sundays from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
