Balanga City

Balanga City Balanga City sits at the heart of Bataan Peninsula. Being the province’s capital, it represents Bataan’s politics, society, culture, and economy.

When the Dominican missionaries landed in the coasts of Balanga, they found a prosperous community that serves as the heart of Bataan Peninsula. The Spanish conquerors transformed it into a pueblo in 1714. Even then, Balanga never ceased to be the province’s capital. During the peak of World War II, Balanga made an indelible mark in history as one of the places where valiant Filipino and American

soldiers fought against the advancing Japanese forces. It was in Balanga where the historic surrender of the Americans to the Japanese took place. Its fields became camps of guerillas recuperating from battle, while its streets witnessed the infamous Death March. However, like the rest of Bataan, Balanga rose from the rubles and terrors of war. It quickly recovered from its losses. Not long after peace is restored, it again functioned as the center of Bataan’s politics, society, culture, and economy. At the turn of year 2000, Balanga City made a remarkable leap from being a passive town to a city struggling to make a new legacy in the modern world. Since then, it began to reap many honors. To name a few, it is now the world’s first Tobacco-Free Generation City and United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) Learning City. With its rich opportunities, undisturbed environment, and vibrant culture, Balanga City shares to the world its gifts and inspirations. BALANGA UNIVERSITY TOWN 2020
