The narrow outlet separates the peninsula from Corregidor Island and Cavite to the south. The provinces of Zambales and Pampanga form common boundaries to the north. About 80% of Bataan is mountainous or hilly with Mount Mariveles and Mount Natib dominating the interior. Most of the agricultural portion of Bataan is in the north and east. The province experiences two pronounced seasons; dry from November until April and the wet from May to October. During World War II it was the scene of heavy fighting between Allied and Japanese forces from January 6, 1942, to April 9, 1942. Bataan fell to Japan on April 9 and was retaken by an American force on February 17, 1945. HISTORY Several villages in the coastal plains of Bataan were already thriving communities when Spanish missionaries found them in the 1570s. Bataan, then known as Vatan, was part of the vast Capampangan Empire that included what now are the provinces of Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, and some portions of Bulacan, Zambales and Pangasinan, These coastal villages were inhabited by natives who were predominantly fishermen, farmers and craftsmen. Meanwhile, the hillsides were inhabited by nomadic Aeta tribes. Bataan was established in 1754 by Governor General Pedro Manuel Arandia. Before this, the region was divided into two parts: the Corregimiento of Mariveles and the Province of Pampanga. The towns of Mariveles, Bagac, Morong and Maragondon, Cavite comprised the Corregimiento of Mariveles that was under the jurisdiction of the Recollect Order of the Roman Catholic Church. The province of Pampanga included the towns of Orion, Pilar, Balanga, Abucay, Samal, Orani, Llana Hermosa and San Juan de Dinalupihan. The latter group was under the charge of the Dominican Order. Limay, the twelfth town of Bataan, was named only in 1917. Long before the outbreak of Word War II, Bataan already earned herself a secure place in the history of the Philippines. The prince of Filipino printers, Tomas Pinpin, a native of Abucay, who either authored or co-authored some of the oldest books in the Philippines and printed them himself between 1610 to 1639 in the printing press located inside the Abucay Catholic Church. In 1647, the plundering Dutch Naval forces were resisted in Bataan, the defenders ultimately chose the glory of death to the ignominy of surrender. Bataan was among the first provinces to rise in revolt against Spanish tyranny. Two of her sons, Pablo Tecson and Tomas del Rosario, figured prominently in the Malolos Convention in 1898, and were instrumental in ensuring that the Filipinos enjoyed religious freedom. Cayetano Arellano of Orion became the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Revolutionary Government, and later on became the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. When the Pacific War broke out in 1941, the selection of the peninsula as the locale of the last defensive stand by the USAFFE against the invading Japanese forces brought fame and infamy to Bataan. The loss of life and property cannot be estimated. Bataan then became the symbol of valor and tenacity in its hopeless stand against the much superior invading Japanese Imperial Forces. Today, a national landmark called the Shrine of Valor (Dambana ng Kagitingan) stands majestically on top of the Mt. Samat in Pilar as testimony to the gallantry and sacrifices of the men and women who with their blood, tears, and sweat made the grounds of Bataan hallow. People, Culture and the Arts Most of the 424,000 people living in Bataan are Tagalogs. Kapampangans comprise a significant minority of less than 10% and are concentrated in the municipalities adjoining the province of Pampanga. Recent rapid industrialization has lured thousands of people from other provinces to settle within Bataan. The province of Bataan has always been linked closely to the culture and economy of Manila. Much of what the province produces is exported to Manila. The primary traditional industry of Bataan is fishing. It is the home of thousands of fishermen whose industry has spawned a unique craft of net and fishtrap making. Nets produced in Bataan take on various forms and shapes like the panli, kalukutok, pambonot, pansiliw, panitig, mananacag hipon, panglusong, hila-hila, kitang, pangapak, bintol, salambaw, dala, bating, pangalabaw and the gulgureta. Each net type responds to various needs and uses. There are also various fishtraps like the saluhin, paclang, aguila, panghipon and pangalalo. The province exports the excess of its fish catch and the town of Orion is famous for its tuyo (dried fish). Orani used to have large tracts of nipa groves, which used to produce a native beverage called tuba. Tuba is still produced but in smaller quantities and primarily for local consumption. Events and Holidays Feast Days and Festivals Feast days, or "fiesta", as more popularly known, are always good memories to cherish. A lot of activities are in store for the entertainment of the people. There are fairs, carnivals, bargain shops, craft shops, amateur singing and dancing contests, musical shows, beauty pageants, and even a Miss Gay contest to the delight of the audience because of the hilarious and crazy antics of the contestants. On the eve of a fiesta there is often a "serenata" (brass band) exhibition or contest in the plaza. On the big day, drum and bugle bands would march on the streets with the "karakol" or street dancing lively strutting along their wake. Flores de Mayo (May) A daily devotion to the Virgin Mary by offering flowers throughout the month. Highlighted with "santacruzan" or "sagala", a parade of beautiful Bataeña debutantes participate in full regale amidst flowers. Holy Week (March-April) Holy Week is another awaited holiday for there are lots of activities and events held in church or in the town plaza. Starting from Ash Wednesday that ushers in the season of Lent, "kubols" are set up in every barangay for the "pabasa", wherein the life and passion of Jesus Christ is read through chanting by devotees on all hours of the day. A week-long activity, from "Linggo ng Palaspas" (Palm Sunday) to "salubong" (Easter Sunday), is prepared in church. On Maundy Thursday, "pagulong" starts in preparation for the "penitensiya" the next day. Some devotees do the "Bisita Iglesia" and read the Station of the Cross on different parishes. Early on Good Friday people would flock the town plaza or main streets to watch the "penitensiya" (flagellants) and the "senakulo", a passion play depicting the sufferings of Jesus Christ. In the towns of Orani and Samal you can see the real crucifixion of a devotee. At twelve noon, the "Siete Palabras" (Seven Last Words) is chanted in church. At night is the "libing" or burial of Jesus Christ, one of the most attended procession in the province. On Easter Sunday is the "salubong" or "alleluia", another procession celebrating the meeting of the Risen Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Bataan Day (April 9) The Bataan Day Celebration is an annual event of the province. War veterans and their families travel from all over the country to Mount Samat every April 9 to reminisce the past and celebrate the bravery of our soldiers who offered their lives for freedom. Prior to the big day, the Provincial Government and the Provincial Tourism Office sponsor activities like a photo contest and exhibit, quiz bees, beauty pageants, trade fairs, and a drum and bugle competition/exhibition. Paskuhan sa Mabatang (December) Christmas is a much-awaited season for everyone. In Mabatang, Abucay the joys of Christmas is extended to the streets. Every "sitio" in the barangay is lavishly adorned and lighted to the obvious delight of everyone.

More Related Indormation BATAAN- Historical Tours BATAAN rings a chord in the heart of every Filipino. It is a symbol of democracy and freedom- a memorial to the galiant Filipino-American de3fenders of Bataan wqho fought decesive battles that delayed timetable of the well-equipped and better trained a Japanese Imperial forces, and changed the course of history in the Pacific. Obscure and relatively unknown before World War II, Bataan was founded in 1754 by Governor General Pedro Manuel Arandia. The region was divided in two parts- The Corregimiento of Mariveles which was under the jurisdiction of the Recollect Order of the Roman Catholic Church. The province of Pampanga. Th towns of Mariveles, Bogac, Morong, and Maragondong, Cavite comprised the Corregimiento of Mariveles which was under the jurisdiction of the Recollect Order of the Roman Catholic Church. The province of Pampanga included the towns of Orion, Pila0r, Balanga, Abucay, Samal, Orani, Liana Hermosa and San Juan de Dinalupihan. The group was under the charge of the Dominican Order. The Dominicans founded Abucay on June 10, 1588, Samal on April 30, 1641, Orion April 30, 1667, Orani and Balanga on April 21, 1714, Liana Hermosa May 8, 1756 and Pilar March 10, 1901. The three towns on the western side-Mariveles, Bagac and Morong were founded by the Franciscans about 1578. Bataan has more than its share of significant historical events: in 1574, the dreded Chinese Limahong used Lusong point at the western side of Bataan as a landing place; in 1647, the Dutch Naval Forces perpetrated the Abucay Massacre; and the Bataan ;Death March to Capas, Tarlac start in the municipalities of Mariveles and Bagac. Today touching commemorative shrines are dedeicated to the memory of those who resisted the Japanese occupation- ba bayonet thrust into the ground with a helmet symbolically slung over the the rifle butt to mark the start of the Death March; and the imposing “Dambana ng Kagitingan” on top of Mt. Samat in Pilar, Bataan. Bataan is a province faced with a challenge. It is on the verge of becoming both an extensive industrialization hub hub a tourist haven which may well be the equivalent of the dynamic force it exuded in its heroic past.
