From grim decay to growth and beauty,
Let no one ever know my pain,
But I have done my humble duty.
During the 1st 160km Bataan Death March Ultra, I wasn't able to reach Camp O' Donnell and the Capas National Shrine. We decided to pass by the shrine on our way to Sta. Juliana.
The area where the Bataan Death March ended was proclaimed by President Corazon Aquino as Capas National Shrine on 7 December 1991. The shrine encompasses 54 hectares of parkland, 35 hectares of which have been planted with rows of trees to represent each of the deceased.
To all BDM160km Ultra Runners good luck, respect the race and respect the memory of our brave soldiers.
