Plaza Miranda is a historic public square fronting Quiapo Church in Manila, long regarded as a barometer of Filipino public opinion and a stage for political gatherings. The open plaza has hosted rallies, protests, and campaign events across the nation's turbulent modern history, including a notorious bombing during an election campaign. Surrounded by market stalls, fortune-tellers, and vendors of religious items, it channels the devotional crowds drawn to the adjacent basilica. It remains a lively meeting point.
