Significance:

The Buddhist Temple II was an open- air haven which the Vietnamese refugees who stayed at the Philippine Refugee Processing Center built on a quiet spot overlooking a river. Guarded over by these imposing Buddhist images, a meditating Buddha and a female Bodhisattva or saint. This temple is a favorite “meditation corner” for many of the Vietnamese, Lao and Khmer refuges who used to call this area of Bataan home.
