By Lawrence Casiraya INQUIRER.net Rico J. Puno once sang about penniless lovers walking in Luneta -- albeit, a Tagalog version on Barbara Streisand's "The Way We Were" -- and that song sure was humming in my mind when I found myself there one Sunday with my family. Every Filipino probably knows what and where Luneta is, most people would have fond memories of it but until that aforementioned Sunday, I can never remember when was it that I actually was there. I did see a few couples but what struck me most is that the entire length of the park was filled with families spending a lazy Sunday together, staking their own patch of space in the grass. And so, like most dads I saw, I found myself running after my two-year old daughter running (more like chasing) after kites. The best thing about Luneta is that it costs nothing to stay there –- unless you get thirsty or hungry, which forces you to buy from any of the small bahay kubo sari-sari stores. Spending an hour or two at Luneta made me believe that there are other places to go and spend any given lazy Sunday than the nearest overcrowded mall.
