Libingan ng mga Bayani, National military cemetery in Taguig, Philippines.
Libingan ng mga Bayani is a national military cemetery in Taguig, Philippines, located within Fort Bonifacio. Organized sections with white crosses mark the graves of army personnel and national figures.
The site opened in 1947 as Republic Memorial Cemetery and received its current name in 1954 to honor World War II casualties. Since then, it has also become the resting place for veterans of later conflicts and civilian leaders.
The name translates to "Cemetery of Heroes" in Filipino, honoring those who served the nation. Visitors walk among rows where soldiers and public servants share the same quiet ground.
The administration requires advance notice for visits, especially if you plan to attend burial ceremonies. Bring sun protection during hot weather, as most areas are exposed to open sky.
Three large marble pillars at the center symbolize the main island groups of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Five former presidents rest here, including Elpidio Quirino, Carlos Garcia, Diosdado Macapagal, Ferdinand Marcos and Fidel Ramos.
