A vast acre of land surrounded by a canopy of trees where flowers bloom at its peak and signage of "Bawal pumitas ng bulaklak." (Picking flowers is prohibited) prominently displayed, refuses to leave my memory bank as I recall the elementary textbooks' depiction of the Luneta Park also known as the Rizal Park.
For most residents of the metro, I bet only a few would take the time to leisurely walk on this historical urban park for varied personal and "reputational" reasons. As for me, this is the time to validate of what these elementary textbooks have imprinted in my mind.
