On May 2, 2011 at the Bataan Technology Park (the former Philippine Refugee Processing Center) in Morong, Bataan, a shrine commemorating the 1981 visit of Pope John Paul II (the pontiff celebrated Mass here on February 21) was inaugurated as a joint project of the Diocese of Balanga and the state-owned BTP. The centerpiece of the new shrine is a statue depicting Pope John Paul II on a boat with a refugee. It was executed by Laguna sculpture Conrado Balubayan, who was commissioned by retired Commodore Amado Sanglay, vice president and chief operating officer of BTP. The shrine stands beside other sacred temples and monuments built by the refugees. On May 1, 2011, Pope John Paul II was beatified at the Vatican, the last major step before canonization or sainthood, following which he can be publicly venerated with the title ”Blessed”.

Clark Parade Ground
Clark, Pampanga
Originally this area was called "Pati" by the Aetas and was then a treeless pastureland. In 1897, during the revolution against Spain, Kapampangan katipuneros used this area as a gathering point for staging attacks against Spanish detachments and patrols. Later a Spanish army outpost was established here but was abandoned in mid 1898 when the Spaniards were defeated by the Filipinos. During the Filipino-American war of 1899-1906, Filipino revolutionary guerillas used this same area to stage successful attacks against American soldiers. It was successfully used by Filipino attackers as a convenient escape route from American pursuers. To put an end to heavy losses on American lives and supplies, and provide a safe grazing land for cavalry horses, the U.S. 5th Cavalry Regiment established a camp here on November 1, 1902 and named it "Fort Stotensburg". It was officially declared as a U. S. Military Reservation by President Theodore Roosevelt on September 1, 1903.
