    Anyone know Bataan?

    My husband and I are heading home in June as a surprise for his cousins wedding. His cousin got his fiancé pregnant and now there must be a (very fancy) wedding as she is the daughter of some politician Anyway....the wedding will be in Bataan at the heritage village. Does anyone know anything about it or has anyone been? Perhaps you have some recommendations in the area for the day after the wedding?
    Thanks guys

    I've been to Bataan in the past (one of my friends live there). We went to some beach resort there and visited Mt. Samat. We went to see the Shrine of Valor or Dambana ng Kagitingan. Although you have to do a lot of walk going up where the white cross is. You can also go up at the top of the cross (see where I'm sitting by the circular window).

    The politico sounds very fair minded I guess it could have ended up rather unpleasantly

    You are right Ded I suppose they could have reacted much more unpleasantly however they have insisted on the venue and number of guest but will not contribute to the cost so our Tito is almost bankrupting himself so as not to lose face. All the family are stepping in to help because he was very good to his nieces and nephews for schooling but really if the politician wants an extravagant affair they should be willing to contribute something. It takes two to tango you know! It is not only the groom-to-be's fault!

    I've been to Morong in the north which is just south of Olongapo.

    Corregidor Island is famous for its WWII history and it's to the south of Bataan. I think you can get a boat there from Mariveles. Also you can get a ferry from Manila to Mariveles should you be heading towards that part of the province which will half the distance in comparison with land travel. If you like beaches, there's the Camaya Coast (below).

    No problem Abigail. If you're close to Zambales and have a couple of days spare, I'd strongly suggest going there if you like scenery. It's beautiful on a sunny day.
