Bataan - Dambana ng kagitingan


My daughter is in 2nd grade and we had a field trip in Ocean Adventure and Bataan particularly in Mt. Samat - Dambana ng Kagitingan.

Dambana ng Kagitingan (Shrine of Valor)  is in Mt. Samat ,  Pilar Bataan - a memorial shrine that built to honor and remember the 75,000 or gallantry of the Filipino and American soldiers who fought during the World War II and the white Memorial Cross  was commemorate on their 25th year anniversary and was built under the administration of Pres. Ferdinand Marcos. 

The shrine was designed by Lorenzo del Castillo and landscaped by Dolly Quimbo-Perez

How to get there:  Actually we had a bus that brought us there but i check in the net about it so here it goes :

Take a Balanga-bound or Mariveles-bound bus. Alight bus in Balanga City or Pilar town.Travel time - around 2 - 3 hours
Make arrangements for transportation or ask the local (tricycle , jeep or taxi)  to Mt. Samat.

There's also a ferry in CCP that bound to Mariveles, Bataan ,  it will only take 1-2 hours travel time
