The event, held last July 10 to 11, featured Philippine Scouts exhibit a Old Fort MacArthur Days Living History event recieve outstanding compliments by its visitors.

The exhibit featured Philippine scout re-enactors, a field camp, field gear and armaments used by Filipino and American soldiers in World War II. Posters with historical information about the Philippine Scouts were made available, providing the public with an interesting account of the lives of the defenders of Bataan.

The exhibit was hosted by the Lt. Alexander Nininger Chapter of the Philippine Scouts Heritage Society, which is based in Los Angeles, California.

Along with the Philippine Scouts exhibits, there were other re-enactor groups that exhibited Pacific War, Philippine themes such as the American Nurses group that were in Bataan, Corregidor and Manila during the War.
