On the same provice, a memorial were erected on a mountain top to comemorate the fallen Filipino and American soldiers who fought for the freedom of the Philippines. Standing 93m (302 ft), this monument was completed in 1970 dominating the skyline of the province that can be seen 50 kilometers away in Metro Manila on a clear day.
