AN ACTUAL SEGMENT OF THE BERLIN WALL, National Museum

National Museum of the Philippines
After seeing on Facebook that the National Museum of the Philippines has FREE admission for the whole month of May 2016, we chose spending the whole day inside the museum than watching TV, with the hot election in the mainstream. It is better to be in front of the historical artifacts than listening to some people for their political agenda. 

Spoliarium by Juan Luna
The Spoliarium by Juan Luna is the biggest painting that I ever seen, in my 20 something years of existence. This painting is also one of the superstars among other paintings, painted by prominent people in the country. We arrived at the National Museum at around 11AM, so we had a perfect timing and had a clean shot of the Spoliarium, without too many people on the sides. READ: NATIONAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

Berlin Wall
One of the MUST SEE in the National Museum of the Filipino People is a segment of the world famous Berlin Wall. This wall was brought to the Philippines to showcase its historical value to the Filipino people and, of course, to let us see the actual Berlin Wall.

I stand 5 feet, five and a half inches standing by the wall, can you see how tall the Berlin Wall is? Berlin Wall separated or cut the line between the Western and Eastern Bloc of Europe. It was built to contain the East German population on their side and prevent them from migrating. It was demolished to signal the start of the end of the Cold War and now this segment of historical wall was given by the German government to the Philippines.
