Bataan’s history is rich. Going there would probably make us love our country more.
I have to agree with the term “rich”. I think all the places in our country are rich in history. 🙂
Yes, in terms of history and resources:) that’s all 🙂 how bout our economy?
We don’t really have a poor economy 🙂 Once we looks into the details clearly..
Hearing ” Bataan “, the first thing that flashback in my mind is the Death March… How many times I have read the included name of Bataan during the Japanese Period… A very historical place…
Which makes us love Bataan more! <3
