Visit the Surrender Site Marker
monina_c Says: This is a sad little site which needed to be visited by people who tour Bataan. It is located on the back lot of a public elementary school in the center of the city. The location of the tableau is purported to be the location where on April 9 1942, Maj. Gen. Edward King met...
Visit the Bataan Tourism Center
monina_c Says: It's worth your while to visit the Bataan Tourism Center for information and a glimpse of the arts and crafts of the province. The staff is very helpful and informative and always willing to share the wealth of information they have regarding their home province. Their...

Crown Royale Hotel: Not fit for royalty
roychin Says: Room was dingy and musty. It was too late to change hotels because my company booked and paid for my stay there. 2 night stay was more than enough. Their towels looked like they were used to clean the floors. I'd rate the staff average. Some were accomodating but some,...
Crown Royale Hotel: Hotel Within the City
i-s-a Says: This is a small hotel situated within the city proper. Good location as Balanga is the capital of Bataan. Trasport for the rest of Bataan towns is concentrated here.Amenities are okay but the function rooms are a bit small. Their Family KTV Rooms are popular especially...

cyndymc Says: Dayrit's was our original choice for lunch, but we somehow got "lost" because of a wrong turn and found it only after we have already eaten lunch. We had wanted to try their steak or crispy pata...I guess, we were spared a heavy dose of cholesterol this traveltime:-)But we...
Red Ribbon: Free Cakes With Meals!
cyndymc Says: After our walkout at Max's Restaurant, we crossed the street and went to Central Plaza Mall. There were many choices to go to for our late lunch, but we opted to go to Red Ribbon to have light meal with heavy dessert.Red Ribbon used to sell only cakes and pastries. Then, it...
Max's Restaurant: The House That Fried Chicken Built
cyndymc Says: We intended to have lunch at Max's Restaurant to try their new dish, Chicken BBQ. Max's has been known throughout the country for their famous crispy outside, tender inside fried chicken. When it introduced other local dishes like lumpiang sariwa, karekare, sinigang, crispy...
cyndymc Says: As in most towns and cities in the provinces, tricycle is the main mode of transportation going around. I noticed that there is a tricycle terminal infront of the City Water District, just across the Central Plaza Mall, and beside the city hall.
cyndymc Says: It is most convenient to go to & around Balanga City in your own car/vehicle. From Metro Manila, drive through the Northern Luzon Expressway (NLEX); exit at Dau Toll Plaza; proceed to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX); exit at Dinalupihan; proceed to Roman...
As the name implies, Central Plaza Mall is centrally located in the city, just across the City Hall, City Plaza and Balanga Church. It is small compared to malls in Metro manila, but it houses many shops/boutiques, cinema, restaurants/fastfood, even "tiangge" stalls for cell phone batteries/accessories.
What to buy: You can buy footwear, clothes, accessories, school supplies & stationery, gift items, medicine, food, groceries, etc.
What to pay: Depends on what you'll buy.

Address: Balanga City, Bataan
cyndymc Says: At the Central Plaza Mall, the food attendant at Red Ribbon patiently gave me directions on how to go to the ladies' restroom in the mall. The security guard of the mall also left his post (but we told him to go back lest he be reprimanded by his superiors) to show my...
traditional X'mas tree and Belen
mlt_t Says: every x'mas season it is traditional to put up decors and lights. this time they'd really thought what to build for people to watch and see while passing by the street. Too bad I didn't capture the life size angels along the streets... when I drop by here. Next time.
If ever you will have to renew your passport, please I beg of you do not suffer the same fate that I did. I let Sky Trans Travel and Tours (Balanga Bataan) to handle my passport renewal. I paid them more than double the required processing fee for passport renewal. Iwas planning to attend the the SINO-PEC convention in China this coming October 2006. But my hopes turned to be a harrowing experience. Since Sep. 02, the date I gave them my passport but to date (Sep 25) they had given me the run around and empty promises when will I get my renewed passport.
So To All Folk Out There Be careful with This Travel Agency!

Balanga City, Capital of Bataan Province
It was many years since my last visit to Balanga City, when I stood as wedding sponsor to my former staff. Whenever we go North, we just pass by parts of Balanga through Roman Superhighway, but this...
