The Death March during the World War II started from Bataan in Mt. Samat to Capas, Tarlac. In honor to the soldiers who died, a big cross was constructed on top of Mt. Samat. I have been there and it's very beautiful. Have you seen the cross?

Mt. Samat is a historical place as that is the last bastion of the Philippines during World War II. When Bataan fell, that's the fall of the Philippines to the hands of the Japanese and that was April 9. I was born April 9, 1943, that was Japanese time, before the fall of Bataan. I hope to visit the place as it is a historical one.

I've seen it. I just hope the Filipinos do not forget why it was erected there. with the sad state of our country right now, i think there is an urgent need to find a cure for this type of AMNESIA
