As I promised on my last post. Here is the continuation of the Mt. Samat related post I made last night. I want to show you how beautiful the place is. Mt. Samat is declared as National Park under the supervision of Department of National Defense with a minimal entrance, for as low 20 pesos per person, this includes the ticket that you will use as passes at the Mt. Samat Museum where you can see the equipments being used during the world war II, but take note you are not allowed to take picture inside the Museum.

If you want to go inside the Dambana ng Kagitingan you need to pay 10 pesos, the money being collected here is being used to pay for the electricity used by the elevator.

Here are the pictures…

This historic place is located at Diwa, Pilar, Bataan , Philippines. According to the Philippines History and World War II history. Mt Samat have a big rule in the history of world war II, and played significant rule during the invasion of Japanese Army in Pacific.
That’s all for now I have more pictures to show , so watch out for my next entry as I feel sleepy now

Mt. Samat is used by Filipino and American Forces to defend and delayed the invasion of Japanese Army. Because of this historic place, the time table of Japanese Army to occupy the entire Pacific was destroyed , this is the reason why they have not invade Australia.

Every 9th of April Philippine Government declare as national day, which commemorate the bravery of those Filipino And American Soldiers who fought to defend the country.

On 1968, the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos , who serve the army during the World War II as Army Lieutenant of the combine force of Philippine Army and American Army. He is also known as one of the Bataan Defender and hero during the “Fall of Bataan”. Raised the monument of Dambana Ng Kagitingan (Shrine of Valor) , to perpetuate for all time the heroism of the Filipino race.
