But it really is a sight to see when visiting Baguio. There were rumors of tours available to the public. Sadly, the rumors aren't true as it wasn't an option on our last visit. However, the gates are open for everyone to come in and enjoy the lush greenery (or brownery, depending on the season) surrounding the house. Just don't stray too far away from the gate - the house is still guarded by well-trained security with big guns who will not hesitate to use 'em if needed. It's been over 30 years since I last set eyes on this place. It's kinda nice to learn it hasn't changed. Some things are better left untouched.

He died here with thousands of American and Filipino POWs. Today, in the same location is this very peaceful place. Each tree was planted for each soldier who died here. The Capas National Shrine in Barangay Navy, Capas, Tarlac, Philippines was built by the Philippine government as a memorial to Allied soldiers who died at Camp O'Donnell at the end of the Bataan Death March during the Second World War. The site is a focus for commemorations on Valour Day, an annual observance held on 9 April--the anniversary of the surrender of US and Philippine forces to the Imperial Japan in 1942. There is also a memorial to the Czechs who died fighting alongside the Filipinos and US soldiers. The area where the Bataan Death March ended was proclaimed as "Capas National Shrine" by President Corazon Aquino on 7 December 1991. On 9 April 2003, a 70-metre obelisk and new memorial wall were unveiled on the grounds of the former interment camp. The obelisk is surrounded by a three-segmented, black marble wall engraved with the names of the Filipinos known to have died during the Death March. There are also statistics about the total numbers of prisoners and deaths, together with poems for peace. Nearby, there are three smaller memorials to the countries whose nationals died at the camp: the Philippines, the United States, and the Czech Republic (then Czechoslovakia). A few hundred meters from the Obelisk is a garden separated from the rest of the shrine by a creek that can be crossed via a hanging bridge. The relics of an old train and railings are also located in the shrine complex.
