Yolanda Shipwreck Memorial Park is a poignant tribute to the thousands who perished in Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. The park's centerpiece is the MV Eva Jocelyn, a cargo ship that was swept inland by the storm surge and now serves as a monument. Visitors can walk around the ship, read commemorative plaques, and reflect at the memorial garden. The site also offers a view of the coastline, illustrating the storm's impact. It's a place for remembrance and education about the disaster's scale and the community's recovery.
