hi rommel.. there are commercial buses plying manila-bataan route. You can take the bus up to balanga city and from there hire another vehicle that would bring you to the shrine. I am just not sure if there are available transpo you can hire from the foot of the mountain. If there are any, tricycles are the only means they may have in that area.

If I may just ask…please e-mail me your comments and suggestions on how we may improve our services/facilities. Thanks. My email add is lilyputian67@yahoo.com

Thanks and I hope you will enjoy your visit to Mt. Samat.

hi ann…i am glad that you enjoyed your visit to Mt. Samat. I just would like you to know that the elevator at the memorial cross is in good working condition as of this date. however, the elevator is only available on certain hours of the day..in order to allow the machine to “rest” for some time and prevent any damages as well. Unfortunately, we have restricted the usage of the stairs in going up the cross for safety reasons.

the last time i’ve been to Mt. Samat was 1996. i love the view from the top of the cross. my aunt used to work as a teacher in Philippine Refugee Processing Center (Morong, Bataan). and i’ve spent several summer vacations there, that’s why Bataan has a special place in my heart. i love the beaches because they’re free — just bring your own towel and food and you’re on a frolicking adventure. oh and back to Mt. Samat, if you guys are scared of heights — haha — you’re in for the ride of your life! imagine a spiral concrete that’s a little too tilted you’d feel your lunch lurching sideways. but the the view from the top is all worth it. i don’t mind if the elevator’s not working anymore. half the fun is climbing the stairs anyway. but for veterans who want to see this landmark, of course the elevator should be fixed. after all this place of remembrance was made for them.

Hi there! We’re planning to go on an excursion this weekend to Mt. Samat. Just want to ask two questions: One, Aside from Mt. Samat, are there other cultural places we can visit there in Bataan or on our way there from Manila? And two, are there picnic grounds there where we could possibly take our meal? Thanks a lot for the help! I hope you get to read this message soon.

hello dahonpalay…your comment is noted. ACtually we have enough air conditioners in the museum to keep the place comfortably cool, kaso nga lang, this quarter, may mga problema sa aming budget kaya napending ang pagpaparepair ng air con. But rest assured na bibigyan namin ng kaukulang atensyon ang bagay na ito. Salamat sa paalala…
