Mt. Samat National Shrine or Dambana ng Kagitingan (Shrine of Valor) is a historical shrine located near the summit of Mount Samat in the town of Pilar, Province of Bataan, in the Republic of the Philippines. The memorial shrine complex was built to honor and remember the gallantry of Filipino and American soldiers who fought during World War II. There is a viewing gallery at the arms of the memorial cross. You have to ride an elevator to get there. You will have a magnificent view of Bataan, Corregidor Island and Manila (on daytime). At the shrine complex, there is a museum with lots of collections and memorabilia from the World War II and the Battle of Bataan.

There are lots of tour packages offering Bataan and Mt. Samat adventure including visiting the monumental place, the beach and zipline adventure.

Want to Escape the City? Visit this historical place and got enchant with some amazing stories behind these amazing houses.

The lovely town of Bagac, Bataan, may not be as popular as the heritage cities of Taal, Silay, and Vigan, but in a vast stretch of the town’s coast lies a development that easily combines the best of the three and so much more. Las Casas De Filipinas De Acuzar Heritage Resort is a sprawling complex that features 27 Spanish-era heritage houses known as bahay na bato.

These houses are not indigenous to Bagac but were transported brick-by-brick and plank-by-plank from different parts of Luzon to this resort. How they were able to do this daunting task is as impressive as the careful restoration from their dilapidated state to their current pristine look. Casa Bizantina, for example, was originally built in 1890 in Binondo, Manila. A century later, it became a forsaken structure occupied by informal settlers. In 2009, it was dismantled and transferred to Las Casas and was refurbished into a luxury accommodation.

If you think that you’re just going to waste a day looking at stone houses, you are very much mistaken. Prepare for a multi-sensory nostalgia and fun-filled trip once you enter the resort gates.
