 How the battle went in Bataan
The difference between the campaigns was that the Americans retreated to Bataan, whereas the Japanese forces retreated to the mountains around Baguio where large units could not be used to their best advantage.
Delaying actions were fought to permit withdrawal to Bataan, the bloodiest of which was fought by the 11th and 21st Divisions on the Porac-Guagua line.
The first defensive in Bataan was the Hermosa-Dinalupihan line, where on 6 January 1942 the 71st Division, the American 31st Infantry Regiment and the 26th Cavalry Regiment fought off the pursuing enemy.

Morong, Bataan (1 Dec.) -- The spirit of volunteerism is very much alive in the quiet and peaceful town of Morong, Bataan, especially in the protection and conservation of the "pawikan", an endangered marine specie.
In her speech at the recent pawikan festival held in Nagbalayong, Rosalie V. Ona, provincial science and technology officer of Bataan and president of UNLAD-PRRM, said that the project is called community-based because it is owned by the community and local residents are very much involved in all activities aimed at pawikan conservation.
Acena explained that while the whole coastline of Morong is the nesting area of pawikan, the center was established in Nagbalayong because it is where the heaviest concentration of the pawikan is located.

As far as Bataan Representative Antonino Roman is concerned, the controversy over the BNPP was a case of apples and oranges.
Roman said that the BNPP and a gas-fired power generation facility were two completely different things, and the conversion of the Bataan plant was an idea that residents of Morong, Bataan, were "very cautious" about.
Bataan Governor Enrique Garcia, on the other hand, said that converting the Bataan plant to a gas-fired plant would rescue the BNPP from deterioration.

In the case at bench, however, it can not be argued that the subject matter of the resolution of the municipality of Morong merely temporarily affects the people of Morong for it directs a permanent rule of conduct or government.
Considering the lasting changes that will be wrought in the social, political, and economic existence of the people of Morong by the inclusion of their municipality in the Subic Special Economic Zone, it is but logical to hear their voice on the matter via an initiative.
It is not material that the decision of the municipality of Morong for the inclusion came in the form of a resolution for what matters is its enduring effect on the welfare of the people of Morong.

The research site was Morong, Bataan Province, Philippines, a low endemic area, where since 1990 the malaria study group of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) in Manila has been undertaking intensive socio-behavioural and prevalence studies of malaria in order to define basic factors underlying malaria persistence.
The focus of this research was to evaluate the new or current malaria drug packaging system used in Morong and to investigate the socio-behavioural factors involved in compliance to malaria chemotherapy.
Qualitative results showed that in Morong new ideas about malaria have been incorporated into pre-existing belief systems and because of this the results of health education appear to have been unpredictable.

MORONG, Bataan—The mayor of this fourth-class town lamented that the Bataan Technological Park Inc. here has turned into a white elephant despite the millions of pesos that the government has spent for the development of the area.
Mayor Burt Linao said he was saddened by the fact that very little development efforts have occurred at the techno-park despite the hype it experienced when former President Fidel Ramos envisioned the techno-park would become the country’s Silicon Valley.
Linao said the Bases Conversion Development Authority has spent P40 million for the development of the area but it remains impoverished although the entire territory of Morong was declared an economic zone to hasten the transformation of the town into a regional hub.
