Taguig offers one of the most informative centers in the area. It was awarded the THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Science Museum category in Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, California in the United States for the design and execution of its exhibits. And the distinction is the first for a Philippine establishment and for a science museum in Asia at the THEA Awards. Mind Museum contains five main galleries occupying a 4,900 square meters (53,000 sq feet) exhibit area and spanning two floors. Themes included the atom, life, earth and the universe. The galleries were linked by features called “ Nature’s Webways.” About 90 percent of the designs were done by Filipino designers from the University of the Philippines and the University of Santo Tomas, Filipino scientists and fabricators with the assistance from the firm based from the United States. Visit the area where a robot will greet you as you enter.

Catacombs were quite common during the Spanish regime. This structure is located in the middle of Sta. Ana Cemetery at Tuktukan, Taguig. It was erected by the Filipino people and supervised by the Spanish friars in 1700.
The structure is made up of stone walls and tiles with a diameter of 12 meters (39 feet). It has a cross on its top and an eleven step stairway with rails on both sides, which leads you up to an arched entrance door which is made of welded iron. A narrow patio adorns the sides of the dome. A small altar is mounted inside the Simborio and a stack of at least three piles of the tomb are beneath it.

Monuments hold a lot of meaning. They may represent freedom, honor or power or commemorate a person, group or example of historic architecture. One stands out in Taguig, “The Bantayog ng mga Bayani ng Tipas.” The monument is actually carved with the names of more than 100 men who were captured and killed by the Japanese in the prison cells in Intramuros, Manila. This also includes the names of those who have offered their lives for the country.

Posted by Philippine Images on Thursday, 17 November 2016
A special final resting place has been made in remembrance of the 33,520 to 58,780 Filipino soldiers who served the country during World War II including those dignitaries who served the country faithfully. “To perpetuate the memory of all the Presidents of the Philippines, national heroes and patriots for the inspiration and emulation of this generation and of generations still unborn…” (RA No.289) is an excerpt from a mandate that spelled out the establishment of the Heroes Cemetery (Libingan Ng Mga Bayani). The Heroes Memorial Gate, a large concrete tripod with a stairway leading to an upper view deck with a metal sculpture at the center, will greet you in the entrance. At the center of the span is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in which three marble pillars behind the tomb representing the three main island groups of the country are found and it is where most of the ceremonies on laying of the wreath are carried out. This place does not only honor those who have served the country but also the Filipino leaders and dignitaries, including scientists and artists.

7. Visit the St. John the Baptist Church or the Dambana ng Kawayan
This Filipino artistry and design has stood for more than a century. It has been a witness to over 500 men gathered and brutalized during the tragic “sona” of December 1, 1944, conducted by the Japanese forces. These men were believed to be put behind bars in Intramuros, never to be found again, dead or alive. Dambana ng Kawayan is otherwise known as the St. John the Baptist Church. This is a house of worship where the altar, wall sidings, ceiling, and benches are made of pure, native bamboo and a sight to behold in Taguig.

8. Patriotic endeavors in the historical Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Anne
Posted by Jonathan Pira on Friday, 12 May 2017
Situated next to Taguig River and across Plaza Quezon, where the statue of the late President Manuel L. Quezon was erected when he was still serving as President of the Republic is the Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Anne. A distinctive feature of the church is the barn-style Baroque architecture design with its very defined articulation of both vertical and horizontal bays topped by a simple triangular pediment. You should visit this place where hundreds of men were incarcerated during the Japanese Occupation.

The Veterans Federation of the Philippines Museum brings you back to the time of the samurais, pistols, and other war memorabilia you will never get to see used again in this generation and the generations to come. Interesting items such as the old foreign and local currencies and rare books. A visit to this place will remind this generation that during these times, young men never enjoyed the movies, the high-end use of the cell phones or taking time to stroll in the malls. Instead, they were preoccupied and were out in the trenches and the front lines fighting a war for the country as Colonel Emmanuel de Ocampo has stressed. This is a great way to teach young people about the value of time and leisure.
