Project Nakaraan: Experiencing Bataan’s Heritage Through Augmented Reality

The Mt. Samat Flagship Tourism Enterprise Zone successfully launched Project NakARaan, an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) experience, today, November 11, 2026, at The Bunker Atrium, Balanga City, Bataan.

This initiative was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Provincial Government of Bataan, through the Provincial Tourism Office, in partnership with the Local Government Units and various stakeholders. The project was brought to life through the vision and initiative of Mr. Gamaliel Domingo, Founder of Project NakARaan, whose efforts helped develop this innovative heritage tourism experience.

The Project NakARaan tourism loop will take visitors through seven stops, starting at the Bataan Tourism Center, followed by 2100 Hundred Cafe, Balanga Elementary School, Balanga City Tourism Office, The Bunker, with the final destination at the Mt. Samat Shrine of Valor.

Through augmented reality, visitors can virtually rediscover Bataan’s old structures and historical landmarks, bringing the past into the present through an immersive and interactive experience.
