Balanga Catholic Church Belfry, a ministration of Balanga, Bataan which formerly belonged to Abucay, became an independent missionary center in 1739. Rev. Benito Rivas, O.P., strengthened this church by fortifying its wall. Rev. Juan Antonio Vicente, O.P, on the other hand, roofed it with galvanized iron and decorated the interior. During the World War II it was used as the site for the Japanese artillery bombardment of Mt. Samat where Filipino and American forces took their last stand in Bataan. – wikipilipinas.org
