They also celebrate Bataan Death March. Yearly yata may run sila to commemorate the march.

Parang mga acropolis lang yung mga old buildings na nasira...

hey...I just noticed that in accordance to Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere's ideology of ousting anything non-Asian from the occupied territories, that they had replaced the original engraved letters above the colonnade from English to Tagalog.
