The Zero Kilometer Death March monument serves as the starting point of the Death March in 1942.
This can be easily accessed upon arrival in Mariveles since it is near a tricycle terminal and a branch of Jollibee. Anyone can access this place because there are no entrance fees for this place.
The silent white obelisk stand as mute reminders of the path taken after the Fall of Bataan by nearly 75,000 soldiers, both Philippine and American. 138 Death March markers in all, from Bataan to Tarlac.
Each KM is marked by an obelisk: 97 in the province of Bataan alone, 33 in Pampanga, and 8 in Tarlac, to the gates of the former Camp O’Donnell – now the Capas National Shrine.
