World War II Museum!🇵🇭

#timetotravel A very interesting and simple museum which is located in an elementary school in Bataan. It shows some historical artifacts from the world war II. The museum was built as a tribute to our fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in 1942. It showcases tragic tidbits about the mentioned war, specially the horrendous Bataan Death March where thousands of Filipino and American soldiers perished. Address: Jose Basa St, City of Balanga, Bataan #mytripvlog #tripblazers #philippines #history

Mt Samat and the Dambana ng Kagitingan is the biggest and main historical attraction in Bataan Philippines with a nice war museum. The place was built to honor Filipino and American soldiers who fought the Japanese army during World War ll. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Philippines is a very historical country. And the City of Balanga is one which has the most in terms of memories during the start of Japanese era. This museum displays some of the things that were used during the World War 2. The last photo is my photo with one of the WW2 veteran who my Aunt is working for as a caregiver. #wintergetaway

Beautiful Scenic Park Location 🇵🇭

#timetotravel The landscapes of the mountains and the views make you feel calm and relaxed. A perfect place to cool down when you want to be away from the pollution and the hustle and bustle of a large city. It is around 40 minutes drive from the main Bataan Highway. Road quality is nice except the last portion around 1km which is still under construction but still passable to all types of vehicles. On the way to the viewing deck, you will see several waterfalls which adds to the attraction that this place offers to its visitors. Enjoy! #mytripvlog #tripblazers #nationalpark #park #nature #philippines
