MSOpinion Battle of Bessang Pass: Rape of Manila (Part 1) “Only the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. and the late President Fidel V. Ramos recognized Bessang Pass”
“Only the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. and the late President Fidel V. Ramos recognized Bessang Pass”
There was a time when the Fall of Bataan and the Fall of Corregidor were celebrated separately, but were soon marked as a Day of Valor , my gulay! I am now quoting official sources on that battle, which took almost 5 1/2 months forcing the forces of Yamashita to retreat to the Cordilleras when the Americans started landing in the Philippines when then General Douglas MacArthur fulfilled his promise, “I shall return.”
“Bessang Pass was a stronghold of the Japanese imperial forces under Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, known as the “Tiger of Malaya” and conqueror of Singapore. It was part of the triangular defense of General Yamashita in the north, namely the Balete Pass, Villaverde Trail and Bessang Pass, guarding the Ifugao-Northern Luzon borders.
“The units of the USAFIP-NL that fought at the battle were the 121st, 15th, 66th, the Provisional battalion, and the 122nd Field Artillery. They faced the 73rd Infantry and the 76th Infantry, part of the 19th Division led by Lt. General Yoshiharui Ozaki.
