TOUCHING the Luneta, or Rizal Park, in a manner that defiles it is unthinkable. It is an affront to national pride and mocks, if not violates, several laws.

But that is what I have in mind when I dream about elevating 58 hectares (580,000 square meters) of open space that hosts probably hundreds of priceless national heritage treasures, the most prominent of which being the monument of National Hero Jose Rizal.
