Ba' TAN.
In the Philippines it's called Bah tah AHN.
The History Channel has made other pronunciation mistakes as well, which tells me their historian is some military guy who was too busy getting clubbed by the opposing force to learn the correct pronunciations of the area, or else is a scholar who had never visited the area to learn such nuances.
Americans say "GOO dah" cheese Germans say "GOU dah" The Dutch say "HOU dah"
