Tuloy natin ang byahe mula dito sa Villa Verde Trails Pangasinan papuntang Banaue Ifugao.
Bibisitahin natin ang Yamashita Shrine | Kiangan Shrine.
General Yamashita and his remaining forces were pressured by the unrelenting onslaught of the combined United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) and the Philippine guerrilla movement in Kiangan’s forested and once-entrenched Nabuilaguian Hill. Following almost a month of bombardment, General Yamashita and his troops were eventually cornered and captured by the operatives from the “A” Company, 11th Infantry, USAFIP-NL in Kiangan, Ifugao. The USAFIP-NL which captured General Yamashita consisted of Igorot fighters.
On 02 September 1945, the World War II ended when General Yamashita was captured. The captured general and his soldiers were then airlifted to Baguio City the next day where he formally signed the surrender documents before American Forces in Camp John Hay on September 3, 1945. The fall of General Yamashita is commemorated every 2nd of September as “Victory Day”, marking the liberation of the Philippines from the oppressive Japanese rule.
