Treasures from the past...Palawan Special Battalion WW2 Memorial Museum

Oct 21,2013 
While waiting for a friend and her sister to arrive we decided a quick visit to a near by museum which was owned by RET. vice admiral MENDOZA.The museum has a number of original war memorabilia. Pored over the items in each room. Heartwarming to know about the heroism of the residents during World War II.It’s just a 10-minute drive from the airport. Inside the property is a sort of warehouse which features museum pieces with historical value dating back to World War II in the Philippines. Near the entrance, you will find an old willy’s jeep mounted with a machine gun

You can have pictures taken complete with uniform.

for a small museum it is very informative for a price of P30

The young lady who is the curator escorted us around was very knowledgeable and informative

ask her anything she'll give you an answer :)

 It is known as kalis in the southern Philippines. The kris is famous for its distinctive wavy blade, although many have straight blades as well.

while touring the museum i asked the lady how is the owner related to the actor way back 90's heartthrob Matthew mendoza we found out that he was the grandson of ret.vice admiral mendoza :)and while we were chatting with the lady about Matthew we heard a familiar voice outside, guess who???...
