Rizal Monument ZarragaRizal Monument Zarraga is a Registered Property, Municipality of Zarraga, Iloilo located at Zarraga, Zarraga, Region VI.
In the whole Philippine archipelago, the statue of the National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal is found seated only in the town of Zarraga. During 1951, our local leaders under the leadership of Mayor Porferio Pinuela erected this historic landmark which is distinctly Zarraga’s own pride. Old folks would jokingly say that “Rizal got tired of standing in monuments of the rest of the country that he sat down upon reaching Zarraga.” On a serious note, this sitting hero depicts Zarraga’s extreme hospitality.
