+ March 12, 2021 EVEN before the pandemic, Archbishop Romulo Valles used to be a staple presence in regular masses in San Pedro Cathedral or even masses held to commemorate a historic happening in the city such as the Roxas Night Market bombing. Catholic faithfuls may also remember seeing him passing through Rizal Park compound on his way to the San Pedro Cathedral. Others would approach him to “mano” and have a brief chitchat.
It saddened many people who know him when in the middle of last year he was reported to have a stroke. Fortunately, he eventually recovered and has been back to service as the Archbishop of Davao and the president of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) until the present.

An “edible garden” is now in full bloom inside the Rizal Park in Manila.
Vegetables like pechay, lettuce, eggplant, tomato, corn, parsley, basil, mint, beans, cucumber, and bitter gourd, among others were planted in the garden-slash urban farm that covers a thousand square meters at the western section of Burnham Green.

According to the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC), which developed the urban farm, the newly-established garden serves as an additional green space for the public.
The garden project also aims “to promote appreciation for best practices in urban agriculture among city dwellers” and help in the food security mission of the national government.
Lighting up of monuments has been an international trend followed to commemorate important days.
Rizal Park illuminated in purple to “honor the sacrifice and contribution of Filipino women in COVID-19 response and recovery.”
