AIR 40th Anniversary of Phil Jap Friendship Tower
SCTEX Tipo To Bagac, Bataan
This is a remake of the video done 3 years ago but this time on the opposite way covering 40+Km. This is what others sometimes call “Bataan back door route”. Starting from SBMA then passing or dropping by the following Points of Interests:
• Subic Bay International Airport, Argonaut Highway, Olongapo
• SBMA Marker, Morong Road
• Bataan Technological Park, Inc.
o Pope John Paul Shrine
o Buddhist Shrine
o The Boat People Museum
o Vietnamese Memorial Park
• Morong, Bataan
• Pawikan Conservation Center, Morong
• Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, Morong
• Las Casas Filipinas, Bagac
• Japan-Philippines Friendship Tower, Bagac
This is a first time to visit Bataan Technological Park, Inc. but was not aware that registration with the BTPI office is required so a guide can be arranged. This is the location that the government have arranged for the Vietnamese Boat People who fled Vietnam just after the Vietnam war in 1975 ang the migration till early 1990s. Area is very peaceful but was not able to see The Boat People Museum & Vietnamese Memorial Park due to non-registration at the BTPI Gate 2.
Road condition is good with twisties as well.
Enjoy & have a safe trip!!!

A Travel Vlog: Bataan
If you're a history buff, nature lover and/or a weekend warrior, this one's for you!
Every time we hear Bataan, the infamous Death March that was already tied with it, comes to our mind. Some of the province’s tourist attractions are reminder of the not so good memories of World War II. But these landmarks depict the bravery of our fellowmen who fought for our country during the war. The province of Bataan is best known for its historical and cultural attractions. The Battle of Bataan is famous for being one of the last stands of American and Filipino soldiers before they were overwhelmed by the Japanese forces during World War II.
These are some of the sites that we have visited:
1. Pawikan Conservation Center
The Pawikan Conservation Center aims to protect marine turtles which are highly threatened by extinction due to human activities such as poaching, egg gathering, slaughter, illegal fishing and pollution. The center contains a hatchery and sanctuary for injured turtles. RATES: Entrance fee is P30 per head
2. Mount Samat National Shrine
Bataan’s major icon is the Shrine of Valor, a 92-meter high concrete cross on top of Mt. Samat in Pilar town, 555 meters above sea level. The cross is the country’s national memorial for the defenders of Bataan and site of the annual Araw ng Kagitingan Rites. Below the cross is a shrine, colonnade with an altar, esplanade and museum.
3. Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar
The first heritage resort in the country, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, a resort has around 30 heritage structures some were restored and sourced from different parts of the country while others are replicas. Go back in time and walk along Paseo Escolta, ride the first ever tram ran in Manila, and be startled by the artistic details of Hotel De Oriente.
4. Kanawan Hanging Bridge
Kanawan bridge is a small bridge that will lead you to an Aeta village. This bridge was built by Marcos. Below the bridge is the historic Batalan River which was also a war site during the WWII.
5. Loleng's Hutieu-an
This Vietnamese eatery opened during the nineties as Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian refugees started to immigrate into the United States from Bataan’s Philippine Refugee Processing Center (PRPC). Loleng, whom the restaurant was named after, was a former cook in the center, and had since learned the art of Vietnamese cuisine from the refugees seeking temporary asylum in the country during the Vietnam War. The end result is Loleng’s Hu Tieu-an.
6. BTPI, Morong, Bataan
A 380-hectare site in Sabang, Morong, Bataan was once a UN High Commission’s Refugee Processing Center. BTPI is ideal for world-class facilities for science-based and multi-use research and high technology development. A portion of the area is being geared towards research laboratory, modern agricultural training center and model farm. Historical legacy and places on interests at BTPI: Freedom Plaza, Buddhist Temples, That Luang, Refugee Boat, Blessed Virgin Mary, Khmer Monument, Vietnamese Monument, Angkor Wat Miniature
7. Stella Mariz Beach Resort Bagac Bataan
In Stella Mariz Resort Bagac Bataan there’s minimal concrete and there’s minimal rooms. Only cottages that are well spaced apart that are made from indigenous materials. But our preferred choice would be camping , best place for star gazing. Entrance fee is 100.00
8. Philippine-Japanese Friendship Tower
Many years after the strife and the savagery of the Second World War, Japan and the Philippines strove to establish friendly ties, and in 1975, the Philippine-Japanese Friendship Tower in Bagac was inaugurated as a testament to the spirit of reconciliation between the two countries. The Philippine–Japanese Friendship Tower is very significant to Philippine history because it reminds us of the friendship we have of Japan and symbolizes that the war between the two countries has indeed ended.

Bataan: Bagac Mariveles Road
Bataan: Bagac-Mariveles Road
This segment is a 45+Km & is the first time to pass Bagac-Mariveles Road. Some sections of the road are old but seldom used, some are new & some are still dirt roads under construction. The road is passable with all type of vehicles. There are nice views along the way but sad to note that most of the hills are bare except for the cogon growing on rather empty land. A proper reforestation project can make this area green again in no time.
Passed or stopped by the following Points of Interests:
• Japan-Philippines Friendship Tower, Bagac
• Zero Km Death March Marker, Bagac
• Sunmoon Beach Resort, Brgy. Pag-asa, Bagac
• Camaya Coast Entrance, Mariveles
• Mariveles People's Park, Mariveles
• Death March Marker (Zero Km), Mariveles
Thankful for being able to pass by two of the historical landmarks - Zero Km Death March Markers in Bagac & Mariveles. Salute to our WWII heroes!!
Enjoy & have a safe trip!!!

From Manila to Bataan. This video will show my Filipina and me experiencing going from Metro Manila to the Province of Bataan, in the Philippines.
We tried going with a Grab car, ultimately we went with the bus going from Pasay to Mariveles, Bataan. From there we took a tricycle to our accommodation in Bagac, Bataan.
Our accommodation was nestled within mountains and nature and we actually really enjoyed it's off-road location.
