A SNEAK PEAK

A Sneak Peak into Mariveles

Mariveles is a first-rate, industrial municipality, which lies in the extreme north-west corner of the peninsula of Bataan, overlooking the smooth waters of Manila Bay and the historic Island of Corregidor.
The economy of this town is characterised by the Bataan Economic Zone which is a large industrial complex that attracts overseas investors and offers thousands of residents of the town a job opportunity.
Mariveles has a unique geographical positioning with a mountainous terrain, the Mariveles Mountain Range, which is dramatic in cliffs and forests that will be juxtaposed with the metallic factories in the city.
The port of the municipality is also one of the main arteries in the trade of the Philippines itself, as it is the location where manufactured goods and raw materials are exchanged to make the national market.
The historical importance of Mariveles is so great that it was the place where the Allied soldiers stood last before the Fall of Bataan in 1942, and where the Bataan Death March started.
