Manila North Cemetery
The Manila North Cemetery (Spanish: ''Cementerio del Norte''; formerly known also as ''Paáng Bundók''), is one of the oldest cemeteries in Metro Manila, the Philippines. The cemetery is owned by the City of Manila, the national capital, and is one of the largest in the metropolis at 54 hectares. It is located alongside Andrés Bonifacio Avenue, bordering it are two other important cemeteries: the La Loma Cemetery and the Manila Chinese Cemetery. Numerous impoverished families notably inhabit some of the mausoleums.
== History ==
The Manila North Cemetery was formerly part of La Loma Cemetery, but was separated as an exclusively Catholic burial ground.〔Republic of the Philippines: Presidential Museum and Library."(Our Heritage and the Departed: A Cemeteries Tour )".〕 The cemetery was laid out in 1904.〔Vintage Philippines. December 2, 2010. "(Manila North Cemetery: A Time Capsule of Philippine History )".〕 Through the years it serves as the final resting place for key figures in Philippine history such as former Presidents Sergio Osmeña, Ramón Magsaysay and Manuel Roxas; historian Epifanio de los Santos; and actor Fernando Poe Jr.〔Philippine Daily Inquirer. November 2, 2012. "(Did You Know: Manila North Cemetery )".〕
The cemetery's being one of the oldest cemeteries in the metropolis is evident on the different designs of mausoleums that reflect the prevailing architectural styles in the Philippines. The styles range from simple, plain-painted with a patch of greenery, to very complex designs that contain reliefs that are difficult to carve while also having different colors.
