Bataan is a one-stop destination for tourists

Bataan has lots to offer local and foreign tourists. It is transforming itself into a university town, a center for political, economic social and cultural interaction in the Asia-Pacific Region in 2020.

I barely recognized Balanga City. I was there more than 20 years ago. If I didn’t have a tour guide with me, I would have been lost and not find my way around like I used to. I am sad, though, that there is no more Joyous Fishpond Resort and Restaurant and in its place is a downscaled Tangway Restaurant that still serves the comfort food that Joyous used to serve and more. I enjoyed the stewed chicken (sinigang) with ayo leaves as souring ingredient. The crispy shrimp is now nilasing na hipon and tasted as yummy.
