3. Bataan WWII Museum
Bataan WWII Museum is one of the most visited tourist spots in Bataan, built as a tribute to the fallen heroes of Bataan during WWII that aims to show the present generation on how the 1941 youths accepted the call of duty. It is a small place but packed with so much history where one can find the diorama depicting the Bataan Death March, old weapons, pictures and items. The first floor of the building can be summarized as showing the Surrender of Bataan to Japanese Forces and the second floor shows the effects of war.
4. Zero Kilometer Death March Marker
Zero Kilometer Death March Marker serves as the starting point of the darkest times in Philippine History known as the Bataan Death March. To summarize simply, this is what happened in the Battle of Bataan. During the WWII, the Japanese thoroughly studied the invasion of the country and perfectly executed their plan and was successful. This time, almost all of the Southeast Asia were under the control of the Japanese. To prevent the immediate victory across the Pacific, the Filipino and American soldiers led by General Douglas MacArthur pulled in Bataan and fought for 3 months which delayed the valuable time of the Japanese. When they finally surrendered, General Douglas MacArthur was already out of the country and promised to return which later he did.
