The house was built by Roberto Laperal in the 1930s.The house is made of narra and yakal wood, designed in Victorian style with its wooden planks and gables and steep roof. The clan heads, Roberto and Victorina Laperal made the house as their vacation home. During WW2, the house was occupied by Japanese soldiers and was used as a garrison. The troops reportedly raped women, tortured and killed suspected spies working for the United States and their allies.The house transferred ownership after the death of the head of the Laperal clan. It was adequately maintained but despite being closed to the public over the years, it did not stop the persistent rumors of the unearthly sightings spotted near the house. The house withstood many natural and man-made casualties, such as the deadly earthquake in 1990 and many more. Chinese Filipino billionaire tycoon Lucio Tan purchased the property in 2007 but never stayed in the place during some of his trips to Baguio. He instead had it renovated and refurbished with proper maintenance then made it into a tourist attraction. From then on, the house was opened to public. In 2013, the tycoon’s Tan Yan Kee Foundation transformed the house to a Bamboo Foundation museum where Filipino artworks based on bamboo and wood.*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laperal_White_House

The Malinta Tunnel is a tunnel complex built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers on the island of Corregidor in the Philippines. It was initially used as a bomb-proof storage and personnel bunker, but was later equipped as a 1,000-bed hospital. The main tunnel, running east to west, is 831 feet (253 m) long, 24 feet (7.3 m) wide and 18 feet (5.5 m) high. Branching off from this main shaft are 13 lateral tunnels on the north side and 11 lateral tunnels on the south side. Each lateral averaged 160 feet (49 m) in length and 15 feet (4.6 m) in width.*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malinta_Tunnel

It was constructed in 1929 on the lands of the Ilusorio family as a family mansion with two storeys. It was made largely out of wood and painted red on the outside, giving it its name. The house was surrounded by large gardens filled with tamarind, camachile, and duhat trees. During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in 1942 the house was confiscated by the Imperial Japanese Army and used as barracks and became a place where local so-called comfort women were forced to work. Ghost hunters believe the house is haunted. The house was partially dismantled after 2014 and was in danger of collapse. In 2016, due to a feuding internal conflict between members of the Ilosorio family, the owner of the property, the heritage structure was demolished from its original Bulacan site and was said to be rebuilt in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan province. Before its demolition, it was Bulacan’s symbol of the savagery committed by Japanese soldiers.*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahay_na_Pula

Corregidor ( co-rie-he-door ) Island is located at the entrance of Manila Bay in the Philippines. In 1945, During this bloody war called the ‘Battle for the Recapture of Corregidor’, over 1,000 American and filipino soldiers died while a staggering 6,650 Japanese soldiers also lost their lives. It is estimated that over 3,000 Japanese soldiers Actually died by committing suicide, preferring that option to surrendering. This was one of the largest mass suicide in history.*https://aminoapps.com/c/paranormal/page/blog/ruins-of-hospital-in-corregidor-philippines/mojr_2KGHkuarDQ5LBjEmj7zRXa1kPlYL1

It is the oldest house in Tiaong, but long abandoned and decaying from disuse, a relic historied with elements of a colonial past and a war-time occupation by the Japanese, rebuilt from the damage wrought by the bombardment during the American liberation. Now it stands, a dying landmark, prey to vandals and petty thieves stripping it of wires, doors and metal scraps, lovers seeking a trysting place, treasure hunters still in search of Japanese caches of treasures. The imposing stone structure with the central garden sculpture built in 1927, is a testament of the efforts and conceptions of two men: Isidro Herrera and an architect of great renown in his time, Tomas Mapua. The garden sculpture of Elias – in the middle of the horseshoe-shaped pool – was inspired and drawn from Jose Rizal’s El Filibusterismo. The sculpture of the half-naked Elias, in his brawn and bravado, subduing the crocodile, holds frozen in time the smoldering rage of the filibusters against the Spanish dictatorship. Alas, for some, the crocodile has also stood as a symbol of the bourgeosie’s cruel greed, and Elias, the common man that takes up the struggle against the collective burgis.*http://www.stuartxchange.org/AncestralHouse.html

Clark Air Base Hospital was used during WW2 and the Vietnam War. It now lays abandoned inside the Clark Freeport Zone. Due to the number of soldiers that died in this hospital, the locals believe that it is haunted.  The neglected infrastructure provides some unusual acoustics, which, added to the darkness of the inner rooms, can easily lead one to think of supernatural phenomena.  Different sections of the hospital exist. Some have been reclaimed by squatters, but the sections that have been most ravaged by time and weather can be explored easily.*https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/clark-air-base-hospital

Prior to the Manila Film Center, the Philippines did not have an official national film archive which is why on January 1981, then first lady Imelda Marcos spearheaded the building of the first Manila Center. Under the supervision of Betty Benitez, the spouse of then Deputy MHS Minister Jose Conrado Benitez, they organized a group to pursue the project. Ramon M. Ignacio, Senior Technology Officer at the Technology Resource Center, conceptualized the project and its various components. He likewise prepared the feasibility study. Among the Film Center’s project components were: the 360-degree theater to show past and present historical and tourism scenes for future generations; the Film Financing/Loan Program to address funding of meritable films, the Filipino Film Archiving using Digital Storage (though was little known during those times); Film Database/Information system; Film Making and Blow Up Laboratory; Viewing rooms for the Board of Censors and other minor sub-components. However, despite the futuristic and concept creativity of Ignacio, only two of the project components were actually done. Unesco’s assistance was invaluable in the design of the archives, so they were asked to be consultants of the project. Several ocular visits were done by Unesco in 1981 where they were responsible for major consultations needed in the structure’s erection. The building was then designed to have two components which were the auditoria and archives. According to Hong, the foundation was set on reclaimed land near the Manila Bay. Since the deadline of the structure was tight, it required 4,000 workers, working in 3 shifts across 24 hours. One thousand workers constructed the lobby in 72 hours, a job which would normally entail six weeks of labor. The Film Center opened in 1982 costing an estimate of $25 million.

An accident occurred around 3:00 a.m. on November 17, 1981 during the construction of the Manila Film Center. The scaffolding collapsed, and at least 169 workers fell and were buried under quick-drying wet cement. A blanket of security was immediately imposed by the Marcos administration, and neither rescuers nor ambulances were permitted on the site until an official statement had been prepared. The rescuers were eventually permitted to go inside the accident site 9 hours after the collapse.*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila_Film_Center

During the Spanish times, a settlement was a place where there were about 200 families. Around this area, there were two settlements, San Vicente de Balanac and San Guillermo de Dalangdang. San Vicente de Balanac was along the coast and during summer, when the sea was calm and perfect for sailing, pirates would come and plunder settlement, taking along with them the women and children leaving behind them a trail of blood. San Guillermo de Dalangdang, however was at the foot of the Cordillera mountains, and during summer, when the fire trees were in bloom, the populace was attacked by headhunters who saw in the red flowers the fire trees as a sign of the gods asking for human offering. In 1759, an Augustinian priest, Fr. Jose Torres convinced the two settlements to come together to a place not so near the sea and not so near the mountains so they will not be plagued by their annual problems. They chose the area called Pindangan, meaning, a place where they dry fish, and this place, they built a church with San Guillermo, the Hermit, as the patron saint. In 1765, the newly assigned priest, however, suggested to the inhabitants that they replace the name Pindangan, toSan Fernando, after the Catholic King ofSpain, retaining San Guillermo as their patron saint. The name of the parish priest was Fr. Fernando Rey, Rey being the Spanish word for King. This was also the time of Diego Silang, as  know, Silang would travel to and fromManilaon his white horse and was killed onMay 28, 1763. When an earthquake destroyed the church at Pindangan, renamedSan Fernando, the parish priest decided not to rebuild in the same place because during the rainy season, the church would get flooded. There were two other sites where the church was transferred until it found its present place, and it is now called the Cathedral of St. William the Hermit, of the Diocese of San Fernando, La Union.*http://www.sanfernandocity.gov.ph/sfcsite/index.php/en/visiting-csf/tourist-destinations/130-pindangan-ruins
