The Freedom Fighters of Northern Luzon: An Untold Story

by Cesar P. Pobre, Phillip Kimpo Jr.

Here is a story of the Filipinos in World War II, which is not about their defeat and tragic death march in Bataan. Hitherto untold, it is a riveting historical episode of glorious victories and battles of Tangadan, San Fernando, Cervantes, Bessang pass, Lepanto-Mankayan, Mayaoyao, Loo Valley-Tocucan and other places. It is about Filipino warriors of the Ilocos, the Cordilleras, and the Cagayan Valley. Though outnumbered, outgunned and cut off from the rest of the world, they fought in the most critical, the most hazardous and the most decisive parts of the Philippine war zone, and routed the Japanese armed forces, neutralizing well over fifty thousand banzai-charging soldiers of the Land of the Rising Sun.
