This is not a scenic Bataan drive. The purpose is remembrance. Begin at Kilometer Zero in Mariveles, travel north to the Bataan World War II Museum in Balanga and then climb toward Mt. Samat National Shrine and its museum. Finish at the World War II Last Stand Memorial in Dinalupihan. The distance between stops is part of the story: Bataan's history unfolded across an entire peninsula.
