Libingan ng mga Bayani

Cemetery of the Heroes (Filipino: Libingan ng mga Bayani) is a national cemetery within Fort Bonifacio (formerly known as Fort McKinley) in Taguig City, Metro Manila in the Philippines. It was established as a fitting resting place for Filipino military personnel from privates to generals, as well as heroes and martyrs. Among those buried in the cemetery are most of the defenders of Bataan, Corregidor, and other Battlefields by Allied recaptured for the Liberation of the Philippines during World War II. It also contains the national Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It is established as the Filipino counterpart to Manila American Cemetery and Memorial which houses the remains of United States personnel that died in World War II.

It was first established on May 1947 as the Republic Memorial Cemetery. It was then renamed to its current name on October 27, 1954 by President Ramon Magsaysay.

Former Philippine presidents Carlos P. Garcia and Diosdado Macapagal are also buried in the cemetery.

On the cemetery's entrance it is written: "I do not know the dignity of his birth, but I do know the glory of his death"

In 2006, the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB) council started exploring alternative sites for Libingan annexes in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Only one has been completed so far, the P24-million, five-ha Libingan extension at Camp Hernandez in Dingle, Iloilo.
