April 9's #RideForValor will have a service bus for participants from #MetroManila, for 1000 pesos. The registration fee is 850. That's fair. Versus unassisted Audax! 🤪

"The whole event is coordinated with the LGU of #Bataan, #Pampanga and #Tarlac. We have support from PNP and NDRRMC. We also have our own support motorcycle marshalls and pacers. We have hydration and medic trucks* for the convoy and we also have #bike mechanics."

My grandfathers left the Philippines before #WWII, though I think one of them, Mateo, lost a brother in the #Bataan Death March. Here is Mateo (blue dot) in 1927 when he was doing something with the U.S. military—“Member of the Master Gunner’s Office.” My grandfather was mysterious. He claimed that he was discharged from the army when he shot himself in the foot, but he had no injury. He claimed he wasn’t smart enough for an education, yet he wrote in beautiful script and taught in #Corregidor.

🇵🇭 #Filipinas se replantea reabrir la Central Nuclear de #Bataan en su transición del carbón hacia energías menos contaminantes.

⬛ Nunca llegó a funcionar por las preocupaciones derivadas de #Chernóbil.

🏛️El actual presidente, Bongbong Marcos, es hijo del dictador Ferdinand Marcos, que gobernó el país entre 1965 y 1986 e impulsó el proyecto de la Central Nuclear de Bataan.

📰 La historia completa se cuenta (en inglés) aquí: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/01/25/philippines-nuclear-marcos-climate-change/

A Japanese 3-pincer invasion force was launched from Taiwan, landing in Aparri, Vigan, and Lingayen. Soon after, landings were also made in the Bicol region. All these invasion troops on land marched toward #Manila. On 23 Dec 1941, MacArthur made the decision to declare #Manila an Open City, to transfer the #PH seat of power from #Manila to Corregidor Island, and implement War Plan Orange (WPO-3) directing all Filipino & American forces to make their stand in #Bataan.

Dec 24, 1941 #WWII 7,000 Japanese troops landed at Lamon Bay, Luzon, #Philippine Islands and marched toward Manila. Near Ligayen Gulf on the western side of Luzon, the 26th Filipino Cavalry initially held up the Japanese invaders, but were forced to withdraw after suffering heavy losses; meanwhile, the Japanese landed an additional 10,000 men at Lingayen Gulf. In Manila, General MacArthur met with various leaders to organize the retreat into the #Bataan peninsula. https://ww2db.com/battle_spec.php?battle_id=46
