The province of Bataan is well known for many historical events which gave a significant role during World War II. Some of these are the infamous Bataan Death March where Filipino and Americans soldiers and prisoner of wars were forcibly marched; A Chinese pirate tried invading North Luzon, the Dutch forces massacred people in Abucay Bataan, and many more. With this, a memorial shrine was built in Mt. Samat to honor and remember the heroism of Filipino and American soldiers who fought during World War II.

Today’s All Soul's Day. It has been a tradition to us to
visit, pray, offer candles and flowers for our departed loved ones on this time
of the year. Some have to travel far to their provinces just to visit which became
their habit already every year. With all the talks about this day, I remember
one time when we had a trip at Cagayan De Oro and able to do a side trip to
Camiguin. We were able to visit a cemetery along the way which I find really
unique and very historical.
