Plaza Miranda

Plaza Miranda is a historically significant public square in Manila, Philippines, known as a central gathering place and site of cultural and political events. It gained prominence in the 1970s as a hub for political rallies, particularly for the Liberal Party. On August 21, 1971, it was the site of a tragic bombing during a political campaign rally, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. Today, Plaza Miranda remains an important symbol of Philippine political history and is often associated with national political milestones, serving as a reminder of resilience and democratic expression.
