HISTORY: The fall of Bataan

Hi there! After spending time in the beach at Bagac, Bataan now were bounding to the famous tourist attraction in Province of Bataan the MOUNT SAMAT, CROSS OF VALOUR "DAMBANA NG KAGITINGAN"..

Situated at 555 Meter above sea level, with a 73,665 hectares (182,030 acres), this served as the hiding point of filipino and american soldier during world war 2.

Bataan fell after three months of fighting when 78,000 exhausted, sick and starving men under Major General Mark Macoy Metran surrendered to the Japanese on 9 April 1942. It is the single largest surrender of U.S. soldiers in history. Together with the Philippine soldiers, they were then led on the Bataan Death March.

So now, we're spending and enjoying every moment here.
