    June 30, 2010 was a non-working holiday in the Philippines for the 2010 Presidential inauguration of the newly elected President of the Philippines. And while most of our countrymen were either on their TV sets for this and others, came to personally witness the inaugural (some from far away provinces), Philip Co aka Camousarus picked me up very early morning at my apartment.

    Our itinerary:
    Mt. Samat in Bataan, Philippines
    Subic Bay (Former US Pacific Naval Base)
    Olongapo City
    Clark AirBase (Former US Pacific Air Base)

    THE JOURNEY

    And off we go on an early morning ride.

    While Philip was driving, I enjoyed the sceneries:

    The Philippine Scouts was a military organization of the United States Army from 1901 to World War II. Made up of native Filipinos assigned to the US Army's Philippine Division. Mt Samat (War Plan Orange) Visit: WWII Memorial in Bataan, Philippines  MtSamat11signed

    At the time of USAFFE's formation, the unit consisted of 22,532 troops, of which 11,972 were Philippine Scouts. Source: Wikipedia “Philippine Scouts and U.S. Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE)”

    Along with the island fortress of Corregidor, Mount Samat was the site of the most vicious battle against the Japanese Imperial Army in 1942 during the Battle of Bataan.
    Suffering heavy losses against the Japanese all over Luzon, Filipino and American soldiers retreated to Bataan Peninsula to regroup for a last valiant but futile stand. This retreat to Bataan is part of a United States strategy known as War Plan Orange.

    WOW....just a beautiful country. Nothing like that around here, thats for sure. Beautiful monument as well, I cant think of a better way to celebrate the day off.

    My grandmothers first husband landed on Leyte (532 EBSR, 2 ESB) in 1944.

    Also, is that a Maxpedition Thermite Veripack in Foliage green I see on Philip's thigh?

    Yes, I'm wearing a NAVSOG cap I bought in Sangley a few years back when I went to the anniversary celebration. I rmember buying all the stocks at the ship store and by the time I arrived Manila I got to sell it to my friends. Laughing I bought the foliage thermite in Ebay. Next time, we'll try to look the km 0 marker which is a hour away and look for the final marker in Capas, Tarlac. Not sure if the final marker is there.

    Too bad we couldn't take pictures inside the museum as it was not allowed. Lots of bazzokas and crew served weapons in there.

    Stuka,

    I already told my brother-in-law to tell the guy in charge of the shrine that they should stop differentiating the entrance fee for a local and a foreigner. I told them it was discriminatory and it doesn't look good. I also complained that every move you make you have to pay for something. Next time let's bring a metal detector.

    Philip & Stuka,
    Some awesome photos. Yeah you guys looked like you needed some strong java! I thought that Philip was carrying a mini cannon (camera) in that circular pouch. Rolling Eyes I look forward to seeing all the places that you guys visited. Great to see some of the monuments. My Pop didn't get to the Pacific but my Uncle Charles did. He never talked about it so it must have taken many of his friends. Look forward to meeting you both. Bruce

    Philip,

    Yeah, glad your brother-in-law promised to look at it..also, don't forget to tell him to allow tourists to snap some photos in the underground war Museum. Next time we go mountain climbing around Samat and we bring metal detectors to find some WWII Relics. I was told there are jungle trails and beautiful waterfalls along the way for a break.

    Bruce,

    We went visiting these places aside from our common interests were mainly to check out interesting sites. Should you guys come for visits in the future, we know where to bring you Very Happy

    OLONGAPO CITY

    Olongapo, an urbanized city in the province of Zambales, Philippines and governed as a part of the United States Naval reservation.

    A poster design taken from “A life of Fighting” Philippine Marine Force Recon T-shirt; The shirt was designed by Pfc Peary Simores(RIP), a member of Force Recon Class 13 who were all killed when they were ambushed by Abu Sayyaf rebels in Basilan Island, Philippines.
    Mt Samat (War Plan Orange) Visit: WWII Memorial in Bataan, Philippines  Lifeoffightingsigned
    Pfc Simores designed this shirt prior to their deployment to Basilan. It was his own inscription and picture printed on the shirts. The pic was said to be taken during their Force Recon training. The message is simple but powerful. He was one of the 15 Force Recon Marines killed last week fighting the Abu Sayyaf members who beheaded their fellow Force Recon Marines last July 10, 2007 in an ambush in Basilan. Yep, they got them, even killing one of the commanders who led the beheading of the Marines. It was said in the news that some of his fellow Force Recon Marines have tears on their eyes when the message on his shirt was read during his wake.

    Here’s the photo of the T-Shirt

    Philip & Stuka,
    Excellent shopping guys. Philip looks like he wants to buy several differnt tactical Gear Max nylon products out of that one custom shop. Liked the challenge coins and the Naval specwar wooden signs. Now when you go looking for WW2 loot be sure that it is not the stuff that goes "boom" Shocked

    I look forward to seeing Olongapo City and tasting many of your differant varaties of snacks. The monkey under the table isn't one of them. tongue Have to scope out where the mahognany aircraft and helos are made as I know the 2 that my brother flew in Nam. It would be a good present for him on his 2nd retirement.
    Look forward to meeting both of you when I get over there. Bruce Cool

    Bruce,

    There's a Huey model up for sale but the camouflage is in modern times (read:grey). I think your brother would like his UH-1 in OD. I watched the 2am football game on tv and it ended at 4:30am and then picked up Stuka at 6:30am so needed the strong coffee to get by. We can sample the local delicacy in Angeles and have a few beers. If you guys are not up to the local food there are lots of American food in the area.

    Asking around now for that last Death march Marker in Tarlac...

    Hi Stuka,

    I'm new to the forum, but can't help notice the shirt of the Marine Recon. Where can I purchase one?

    Please advise thanks.

    Sorry, Sam...so busy making a living and just saw your post.
    Just in case you haven't found the shirt yet. You can check out at Marine Barracks in Fort Bonifacio or you may also check availability at the military shops around the barracks.
