 GLORIETTA – The glorietta was the scene of all public programs in the 1950’s and 60’s. It was seldom used when the plaza was constructed. Later in the 1990’s it deteriorated into such a decrepit state that is was used only as stable for goats. In 2001, the old glorietta was rebuilt, its original design restored. Now it sports a fresh look, a new roof, the floors are tiled and decorative balusters surround the stage. There are wooden benches all over the place surrounded by ornamental plants, colorful bougainvilleas and yellow bells blooming through a horizontal trellis. It is a perfect place where you can chat, relax and while away the time particularly in the afternoon when it is cooler. The place is now called the Manolo Memorial in memoroey of her husband.
