Surrender Site Marker

Reviewed By biggixer - Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

Set inside a school grounds and adjacent the Bataan WW2 Museum this is a must see site in the City Of Balanga Bataan. If you're not fully informed of the historic significance of this site take a look at the surrender site statue then go into the museum for an understanding of its importance and the subsequent horrors of the Bataan Death March. Take a moment or two to reflect. The surrender site is free, the museum is P50.

Pamulaklakin Forest Trail

Reviewed By MarianaV111 - New York City, United States

I wanted to do a jungle training and saw there were 2 possibilities in Subic: JEST or Pamulaklakin. The first one sounded more commercial so I decided to go for the latter and what a incredible time I had. The Pamulaklakin trail is on Aeta land, an indigenous tribe that lives in the hills. I was by myself and decided to book an overnight stay as well. They provided the tent. My guide, MinMin, picked me up at the trailhead and we started hiking up. He is small (like most of the tribe, but incredibly fast and very knowledgeable. He is proficient in English and knows all the plants and animals. The Aeta are a tribe of @ 500 families. Their village has a school and MinMin works on the family farm. He taught me how to make fire, use a machete, make a trap etc. He also cooked me a meal and set up my tent Then ... we went to visit some of his family. Marilyn, who is the person I had phone contact with and with whom I confirmed my arrival, is incredible! Smart as a whip and very hospitable. Let's just say we ended up singing karaoke at her place later that evening. Incredibly warm people and I truly recommend this experience

Bataan World War II Museum

Reviewed By biggixer - Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

Set inside a school and former military barracks this is a must see museum. This historically significant site, which is also the location of the 'Surrender Site', is a must see for Filipino, American and other nationalities who have any interest in the horrors of WW2 and the history of the Philippines during Japanese occupation. This small museum documents the events of the surrender and the subsequent Bataan Death March. A sobering piece of history. Currently its P50 admission for adults.

Pawikan Conservation Center

Reviewed By Jeric147 - Puerto Princesa, Philippines

We visit the center for our first eco volunteering activity, its 2.5 hours travel from Manila to the area. There is briefing and storytelling by Ka Manolo the president of local volunteers. Our first activity is to release hatched pawikan to the seashore, Coastal clean-UP Drive and Night patrol witness mother pawikan laying Eggs. For accomodation they have available rooms and also they allow to fix tent within the area without fee. They need a support. Visit and support the pawikan conservation center! Managed by local volunteers and let them inspire you with their story ❤️ Ask me how???? Based on the study an average of 90% hatching success and 1% survival rate up to sexual maturity to live. One of the reason they die they feed on the waste like plastic that they thought it is a jellyfish. We dream great beaches without jellyfish, they are the one who help to balance the ecosystem and for now the great way is to take care to our surroundings especially our oceans as simple as we practice clean as we go. At the end of the day new generation will follow and will lead to release more of baby sea turtles in the ocean. ???????? #ecowarrior #makingadifference #corporatecitizenship #volunteeringinthenew #wecareforenvironment #TrulyHuman #IJuanderWeekend
