The savings are beyond comparison!
On 16 Feb 2021, the City of Manila held the inauguration for its latest attraction, the “Hidden Garden” in Lawton. According to the city government, this new project is just one of many open-air green spaces that they plan to open in Manila.
Amazingly, the stunning new park adjacent to the Andres Bonifacio Shrine was formerly used as a dumping ground and parking lot. The recent rehabilitation was well-received by netizens and Manila City dwellers, along with those who grew up in Old Manila. As the city continues to be restored to its former glory, more and more Pinoys look forward to experiencing the “Manila vibe” they once knew.

The Hidden Garden, which will offer free admission to guests, boasts a series of pocket gardens, and lots of space to relax and walk around. A cafe will also be opening soon — and yes, this is totally separate from Kapetolyo, the coffee shop that opened in Bonifacio Shrine! Hidden Garden Cafe will feature a modern look, and like Kapetolyo, will put the spotlight on homegrown brews.
