    Happy World Environment Day!

    Happy World Environment Day!

    In Bataan, nature is more than a destination, it’s our shared story. From the calm of Dunsulan Falls to the towering Mt. Natib, from the journey of migratory birds to the nesting of Pawikans, every corner reminds us of what’s worth protecting.
    Through efforts like the Baka1Bataan: Orani Mangrove Adoption and Protection Project, we continue to care for our environment while promoting responsible tourism. Let’s keep moving with purpose, for the planet, for our people, for the future. 🌏💚

    Mt. Samat – Pilar, Bataan

    Mt. Samat – Pilar, Bataan

    Third day of 2025 National Flag Days. It is a period to show reverence to the National Flag, which embodies all ideals and aspirations of the Filipino nation. In accordance to Section 10 of Republic Act No. 8491 or The Flag and Heraldic Code, the National Flag shall be permanently hoisted, day and night, throughout the year, in front of sites and institutions approved and recognized by the National Historical Commission.

    mt samat pilar bataan

    The Mount Samat Flag Pole stands prominently within the Dambana ng Kagitingan, or Mount Samat National Shrine, a historic landmark located in Bataan. Known by its iconic White Memorial Cross, the shrine was built to honor and commemorate the bravery of Filipino and American soldiers who fought against the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Its creation was initiated by President Ferdinand Marcos through Proclamation No. 25, s. 1966.

    Mount Samat was the site of the intense Battle of Bataan in 1942, one of the last strongholds of Filipino and American resistance against the Japanese invasion. The defenders endured relentless artillery fire and aerial bombardment before ultimately surrendering on April 9, 1942—an event that marked the end of the battle and the beginning of the harrowing Bataan Death March. In remembrance of the fallen, the Mt. Samat Flag Pole has been designated by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as a 24/7 flag site, where the Philippine flag is permanently hoisted as a symbol of courage and sacrifice.
