Located at the hilltop of Morong in Bataan, 2 1/2 hours drive from Manila via SCTex (or 182 kms), passing thru Subic Bay Freeport Zone or via Dinalupihan toll exit and Roman Highway, the 365-ha forest reserve that is called BTPI is transformed as an eco-tourism destination or nature park with its panoramic view of Bataan mountains and the majestic South China Sea offering leisure and adventure sports activities such as basketball, badminton, tennis, swimming,airsoft battleground, trailblazing, mountain biking, football or soccer and obstacle course. Having been the site of the former Philippine Refugee Processing Center (PRPC), where over 400,000 "boat people" had gone to escape the oppressive socio-political conflicts in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and the rest of Indochina during its 14-year existence from 1980 - 1994, the newly renovated nature's paradise offers visit to the heritage and cultural structures and monuments built by the former occupants such as the Indochinese map (a stone marker), an image of Buddha, a refugee boat, a replica of the Bayon Temple and That Luang Temple, an image of the Virgin Mary whose features are similar to a Chinese, a replica of Laos' Pha That Luang monument, a Viet Memorial Monument, and a replica of the Angkor Wat. They also left behind their cuisine that some residents enjoy to this day. Among these dishes are: long bread meat sandwich, ban mai and the noodle soup, hu tieu, which can be served sweet or spicy. A few snack houses in Morong still serve these Vietnamese fares as specialties. At the heart of all these is the presence of high-tech agriculture and aquaculture park focusing on biotechnology in partnership with the country's top scientists and agriculturists. The park plays host to small and medium enterprises developing high-value indigenous products and generate sufficient quality employment. A center for eco-tourism, leisure destination, sports, training and seminars, facilities include: convention center and accommodation (three air-conditioned conference rooms at 50-75 pax capacity with multi-purpose hall that can accommodate 150 persons, four air-conditioned guest rooms with capacity of 22 persons plus twelve furnished dorm units with capacity of six persons per unit, dormitory with capacity of 130 persons with 29 rooms, housing for family outings, social function hall with 250 seat capacity, chapel of St. Francis of Assisi, sports and athletics (gym, covered court, tennis court, badminton court, basketball court, obstacle course, kiddie pool, children's playground, picnic area and gazebo, shrines and monuments.

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”.
