Mt. Samat, Pilar, Bataan

Last 2006, I was sent to attend the an series of oracle trainings in Manila for three weeks, that means that I am free on weekends. I was invited by my cousin to visit Mt. Samat,Pilar Bataan.

I was really excited , I only read about this place in our history books. Oh, I almost forgot, we are going there by motorcyle. It was almost 5 hours drive from mandaluyong to bataan. On the way up to the mountain, the road was crooked but nicely paved. When we reach the top, I was really amazed with the structure. One suprising thing is that you can go up by an elevator and you can see the nice view around the mountain.


Another thing, around the site the have also some display of some weapons or guns used during the war. There was a little museum of some guns, maps and other things used in the war.

We only stayed there for almost two hours since we need to go back to metro manila. It was really an unforgettable weekend. Overall the place was worth to visit, hopefully, one of these days can visit the place again.
