CONCEPT
MUKYAT MALAYA (Muk-Yat Mi-Ala-Ya) is a park concept inspired by the Kapampangan heritage and the symbolism of Mount Arayat. Mukyat (“to ascend”) reflects discovery and growth, while M•Alaya combines Alaya (“east”) and Malaya (“freedom”), evoking openness, light, and new beginnings. The design celebrates the eastward direction of Mount Arayat as both a geographical landmark and a metaphor for personal transformation. More than a recreational space, Mukyat Malaya aspires to be a cultural and spiritual journey of freedom, connection, and discovery.
