Mr. Paulo Alcazaren, writing for the Philippine Star, has a concise history of the Quirino Grandstand: "With a budget of P 120,000, architect Juan Arellano designed a grand Independence Grandstand in ornate Neo-classic style. He incorporated a triumphal arch with two “wings” that shaded the main galleries. The centerpiece in front of the arch was a stage in the form of a ship’s bow with a carved figurehead of a maiden representing freedom. Two other figures, representing a Filipino and a Filipina stood about 10 meters tall behind the stage and the central gallery. The whole composition was placed facing west a few meters in front of the Rizal Monument and not across the lawn near the breakwater where we now have the Quirino Grandstand."

It is a also place were many historical events take place. As well as infamous events such the the bus hostage taking that ended with many deaths and an international spat with Hong Kong over the handling of the situation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila_hostage_crisis ).
