The sketchers met up at the Bonifacio monument at Plaza Lawton. The monument is a tribute to one of the country's heroes Andres Bonifacio, who was often called "the Father of the Philippine Revolution". We then walked to the Kartilya ng Katipunan Shrine.
The Kartilya ng Katipunan ("Primer of the Katipunan" in English) served as the guidebook--or manifesto--for the new members of the Katipunan, a revolutionary society founded in 1892. The first edition of the Kartilya was written by Bonifacio, one of the group's founding members. The shrine dedicated to the Kartilya depicted the principles laid out in the primer.

Sketching in the tropics requires umbrellas and hats!
At around noon the heat became unbearable, so we started packing up but not before the customary show & tell!
Sketching was a really great way to spend the Independence Day holiday! 'Til next!
