Barangay: Bacsil
City: San Fernando

History:

The place was originally a forest where bog trees and exotic plants grew. There were wild animals like carabaos, cows, deers, monkeys, and other wild animals. The people were mostly Isneg. With the coming of the First World War, people from the lowlands came to settle here. It was here where the last battle of San Fernando was fought during the Japanese occupation. To commemorate this historic event, The Bacsil Ridge Monument was built on this site. It is now one of the most visited places in the city.
