The province is located in the Central region of the island of Luzon and just a few hours away from Metro Manila. It was home to some of the last frontiers of the Filipino revolutionary Wars in the 1940s. A lot of the historical landmarks in Bataan offer a glimpse of the war era of the country like the fabled island of Corregidor and the Shrine of Valor in the town of Pilar. Many of the final battles of World war II were fought here, that is why an amazing array of war relics and parapehernalia have been left here. The museums and sites will give you a great sense of history of the Filipino people
