This ornate white fountain stands in Plaza Calderón de la Barca in front of the Binondo Church in Manila’s Chinatown. The plaza is named after Pedro Calderón de la Barca, a Spanish dramatist of the 17th century whose play La vida es sueño (Life is a Dream) continues to be reinterpreted and staged until today. This tiny space is also known as Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz, after the first Filipino saint who happens to be from Binondo.
Natural or man-made, take a refreshing dip in Watery Wednesday.
