The Philippine city associated with New Year's Eve countdown celebrations around Rizal Park is Manila.
Manila is the national capital of the Philippines and contains Rizal Park, a major public space named for Filipino national hero José Rizal. Public celebrations and countdown programs in the wider Metro Manila area can involve several venues, so the precise location and format may differ by year.
New Year's Eve in the Philippines is often marked by fireworks, family gatherings, music, and customs intended to attract prosperity. Many families prepare twelve round fruits, one for each month of the coming year, although the exact fruits and presentation vary. Other traditions include wearing polka dots and making loud sounds at midnight.
Manila is sometimes confused with Metro Manila, the larger metropolitan region that includes many independent cities and municipalities. A question about the capital city specifically refers to Manila, while events elsewhere in the metropolitan area may be organized by different local governments.
