published on May 2, 2008

Built from 1922 to 1932, the Malinta Tunnel has a main lateral of 835 feet long and 24 feet wide. Originally an arsenal and underground hospital, its unique location beneath the Malinta Hills made it an ideal bomb-proof headquarters for Filipino and American soldiers during the Second World War. Experience the thrills of the Malinta Tunnel in a light and sound show that last for 30 minutes. Dubbed as the Malinta Experience, the show was written by National Artist Lamberto Avellana, and was depicted in sculptures by National Artist Napoleon Abueva.
