Rizal Shrine - Calamba

I first visited Rizal Shrine – Calamba when I was eight years old during our field trip. Now I’m back with my husband to accompany our three year old son on his first ever field trip. It felt very nostalgic and I’m really grateful that I get to be in this historical place again with my family.

We arrived around 7:25am but we have to wait until the Shrine opens at 8:00am

We were standing on a line at first, but having toddlers and pre-schoolers it’s difficult to keep them by the rule. So we end up having our own ways.

I wanted to take a photo of my son standing with the replica of Jose Rizal being taught by his mother Teodora Alonso but he was scared so we decided to just browse through the list of his family instead.

After checking the house we went to a place where Jose Rizal’s achievement, photos and a lot more was preserved. The only picture I was able to take was the statue where he was holding a book. It’s in the lower right part of my collage on top. We were busy reading and running around making sure our son won’t break anything.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay there. It’s really good to keep this place included in field trips of kids 8 years old and below. They may not realize it yet but they will be happy to realize that in the future that they were in a historical place like this sometime ago.
