Plaza Cuartel
Whenever I’m out of town to tour places, I always have this happy outlook wherever I go. When I learned about the history of Plaza Cuartel in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, I just felt sad. Before Plaza Cuartel became a leisure park in 1997, it was a military fort in World War II. Plaza Cuartel has…
