The Bataan Death March Memorial stands not just as a structure of stone and steel —
but as a reminder of courage, sacrifice, and the price of peace.
Visiting memorial sites is an act of respect.
A silent “thank you” to heroes we never met —
but whose sacrifices built the country we live in today.
Learn history.
Feel it.
Honor it.
Carry it forward.

The Philippine and American flags are prominently displayed at the Zero Kilometer Death March Marker in Mariveles, Bataan, symbolizing the shared sacrifice of Filipino and American soldiers during the infamous 1942 forced march. The site, which marks the official starting point of the march, includes the flags alongside a white obelisk monument, representing the bravery of those who surrendered after the Battle of Bataan.
The area is adorned with both Philippine and American flags to honor the joint effort of the defenders. It features a plaque from the Filipino-American Memorial Endowment, Inc. (FAME).
This is where thousands of American and Filipino prisoners of war began their 65-mile (105 km) journey to Camp O'Donnell on April 10, 1942. Lest we Forget.🇺🇲🇵🇭

Situated at the fork of the Bagac-Mariveles road and A. Mabini Street, the Bagac Zero-km Bataan Death March marker, marks the starting point for the second group of soldiers on April 11, 1942. Bagac is the largest and mountainous town in Bataan where the 192nd Tank Battalion, a federalized Army National Guard unit, was among the US Army units that fought and surrendered in this area along with some Philippine Scouts.
The Bataan Death March in April 1942 began from two main points—Mariveles and Bagac in Bataan—where approximately 70,000 to 78,000 surrendered United States Armed Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) troops (Filipino and American) were forced to begin a brutal 102 to 120-kilometer trek. The Zero Kilometer markers in both towns stand today as solemn memorials to the start of this atrocity. Lest we Forget.🇺🇲🇵🇭
This Japanese Type 10 120mm anti-aircraft gun near Baluarte de San Diego in Intramuros is a significant World War II relic, likely salvaged from a battleship for land defense during the 1945 Battle of Manila. It symbolizes the final, brutal Japanese stand in the Walled City and acts as a memorial to the conflict. It is one of the few remaining large weapons from the intense fighting that saw Intramuros almost completely destroyed.
The weapon was utilized for its dual-purpose capability to defend against advancing American land,air and sea invasion, during the final defense of Manila.
Some suggests the artillery is oriented towards Manila Bay intended for allied ships.Other observations indicate it points eastward, covering potential land approaches like Luneta.

Battle of Manila 1945 at 80
Video by Yasuda Rain (for the Nilad Community)
Eighty years ago, the city of Manila—once among the most beautiful in Asia—was reduced to an inferno and a battlefield. Amid raging fires, relentless artillery and mortar barrages, and constant gunfire, civilians trapped in the crossfire struggled to flee as their city crumbled around them.
This short tribute video was created by Yasuda Rain of Renacimiento Manila for last year’s commemoration by the Nilad Community.
