Summary
[edit]
| Description | This is the main entrance to Quiapo Church or Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarine, as seen from Plaza Miranda. We had entered this church from one of the side entrances and detailed notes appreared in previous captions. Not to Plaza Miranda itself, which we are on now. Plaza Miranda is a public square bounded by Quezon Boulevard, R. Hidalgo Street and Evangelista Street in Quiapo, Manila. It is is considered as the center of the Quiapo district as a whole. Inaugurated in its current form by Mayor Arsenio Lacson in 1961, Plaza Miranda is named after José Sandino y Miranda, who served as the Philippines' Secretary of the Treasury between 1833 and 1854. The Plaza unfortunately has a bloody history. Regarded as the center of Philippine political discourse prior to the imposition of martial law in 1972, the plaza was the site of the 1971 Plaza Miranda bombing, where two grenades were launched at a political rally of the Liberal Party, killing nine people. It underwent a ₱49 million renovation in 2000 after decades of neglect as a result of Manila's urban decay in the 1970s and 1980s, giving it a more modern design despite protests from various historical groups and cultural experts, with a monument erected to commemorate bombing victims and additional architectural elements installed. Currently, Plaza Miranda serves as a freedom park, where assemblies and protests may be held without needing a permit from local authorities, and with thousands of people crossing through it every day, it is considered to be Manila's version of New York's Times Square.
