Neglected Romualdez Mausoleum



Where the bodies of Imelda Marcos' parents are buried, and her stillborn child, surrounded by cherubim statues. This used to be a well-maintained garden/park, but was ransacked by heavily armed men during the Edsa Revolution for buried Yamashita treasures, and was never the same again. I grew up spending summers and weekends running around the area, climbing the fence, picking the kalachuchi flowers, exploring the underground 'tunnel', or just sitting on the fence with cousins.

It's a shame that it has become so run down.

How sad, but beautiful memories with cousins.
