Quirino Grandstand, Public grandstand in Rizal Park, Philippines.
The concrete grandstand, designed by architect Juan M. Arellano, stands at the western section of Rizal Park with a capacity of 10,000 spectators.
Built in 1946 for the Philippine independence declaration from the United States, the structure received a complete renovation in 1949 under Federico Ilustre's direction.
The grandstand serves as the traditional location for Philippine presidential inaugurations, national celebrations, and significant religious gatherings since its establishment.
