Rizal Park hosts silent drill exhibition and changing of the guard on April 27
Mark your calendars for an unforgettable afternoon of discipline, pride, and patriotism at Rizal Park Luneta on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 4:00 PM, as the National Parks Development Committee, in collaboration with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine Navy, and Philippine Marine Corps, presents two moving tributes to Filipino heritage and military tradition.
This public event is free of charge and open to all who wish to witness the nation’s best in action.
Changing of the Guard at the Rizal Monument
Begin the afternoon with the Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the Rizal Monument, a dignified and symbolic act where the incoming honor guards assume their posts from the outgoing ones. This ritual honors the memory of Dr. Jose Rizal, keeping his enduring legacy alive through discipline and vigilance.
Silent Drill Exhibition at Lawn A
Directly following the guard ceremony, head over to Lawn A, just behind the monument, for a breathtaking Silent Drill Exhibition. Watch in awe as a highly trained platoon of military personnel performs flawless, synchronized rifle movements—all without a single word of command.
The result is a powerful and precise display of Filipino military excellence that showcases the dedication and unity of our armed forces.
Whether you’re a patriot, a history enthusiast, or simply looking to experience something extraordinary, this event promises a deep connection to national pride and tradition.
