"In recent years, however, some visitors desecrated the place and done other vulgar acts that would certainly make Rizal turn in his grave, shrine staff disclosed.
A case in point is the Rizals' old deep well. Now dry, it is the only surviving feature of the Filipino-Spanish colonial house.
Aside from layers of coins, empty plastic bottles of mineral water, softdrink cans and other trash are slowly filling up what the NHI touts as a "wishing well."
Tsk tsk tsk, dina pinatawad.

mas mainam pa mga yon kasi pag gabi lang sila andyan (tama ba) pero yong sa laguna kita ng mga turista ang dumi thinking na historical site yon

May entrance fee ba na binabayaran sa pagpasok dyan sa bahay ni Rizal? If meron, bakit hindi nililinisan yung mga basura sa balon e may pera naman pang maintenance?

[fearless]

bakit ba ganito dito sa atin,parating pinababayaan yung mga historical sites,minsan ginigiba pa,sa ibang bansa pinangangalagaan yung mga ganyang sites,sa atin lang naman ang ganyan, sinisira at dinudumihan pa.

tignan naman ninyo, kahit pala nung world war II yung mga hapon, pinangalagaan na wag masira yung rizal home,

mayroon pa nga akong nabalitaan sa news,kahit nga yung isang shrine kung saan ginanap yung first republic(eto yung may picture na may nakahawak na flag),ginawang tambakan ng basura yung labas ng bakod,grabe talaga dito sa atin.

was that not the original house? i remember visiting the philippines maybe 10 years ago and visiting the house/museum...reconstruction lang ba yun?

anyway, his life was truly fascinating. too bad some people don't seem to respect that. kahit yung India na mas mahirap pa sa Pilipinas eh alagang-alaga yung mga national monuments nila like the Taj Mahal and Indiagate...

Ay patawad naman mga yan, kung gagawin na lang nila trabaho nila at pulutin ang mga basura gawan ng paraan, edi nalinisan na yan at hindi na umabot ng ganun dbbaaa

That's true. Di lang isang bahay ang sinisira natin kundi ang kasaysayan at alaala ng ating bansa.

Incidentally, today is Rizal's 146th Birthday...

May ribbon/wreath laying dun sa Luneta kanina on my way to an urgent call sa port...

Dapat talaga protected ang ating mga historical sites.
