Beautiful green spaces are sprouting in Philippine cities.

In San Pablo, Laguna, the Doña Leonila Park used to be just another open space because it was unkempt.

Such is the picture of many idle public spaces in Philippine cities. But today, the park is a vital place for the community. After redevelopment, it became a go-to for local communities — an amphitheatre, porous pavers, a restored fountain, underwater lighting, and new walkways gave the park a new feel.
