The World Map

















Bataan

Provincial seal of BataanBataan is a province of the Philippines occupying the whole of Bataan Peninsula on Luzon. The province is part of the Central Luzon region. The capital of Bataan is Balanga City and is bordered by the provinces of Zambales and Pampanga to the north. The peninsula faces South China Sea to the west and encloses its arm, Manila Bay, to the east.

The Battle of Bataan is famous in history as one of the last stands of American and Filipino soldiers before they were overwhelmed by the Japanese forces in World War II. The Bataan Death March was named for this province, where the infamous march started.

Family Day

On a Saturday last week, the whole family was up early. It was housecleaning day. Great! No, I would rather think it as family day.
After an early breakfast, we started the general cleaning. Ellen and Mike scrubbed the floor, applied floor wax on it, dusted all the furniture, and arranged the books on the shelves. Nina and Danny decorated the Living room and changed the curtains. Jean and Gail emptied the garbage pails and the garbage into the community garbage container. Father cleaned the canal and fixed the broken fence. Mother burned leaves and twigs. She also watered the plants. I washed the dirty clothes and Father cooked a savory supper for his tired and hungry family. Yes! Father does the cooking on Saturdays. I love Saturdays.
