Tourist Guide

This is the cross at Mount Samat-the site and memorial of the Bataan Death march during WWII. If you haven't read up on the atrocities of the Japanese during this time,  you'll get a refresher course from the museum located on-site.
For a 360 degrees view one has to climb up the Cross.  My knees were sore so I didn't do it. The alternative lift was not working at the time we visited.
A historical site in Bataan where the 0 kilometer of the city begins. its also known a historical site from the Japanese invasion of the country.
Mt. Samat is a historic mountain in the town of Pilar, Province of Bataan, Philippines. Located near its summit is the Mount National Shrine, a national shrine dedicated to the fallen Filipino and American fallen during World War II. There is an elevator inside so you can go up till the top of the cross and can see the beauty of the surroundings. Picture taken during family vacation. #Details Photo Sweepstakes
