The Balangiga Bells

The whole of Eastern Samar Is commemorating its historic Battle joined by local patriots Of Balangiga and neighboring towns On September 28 1901, the only battle won By fighting Filipinos against the Americans That we call now the Balangiga Encounter of1901  This heroic act in that part of Samar Placed the Balangiganons and the Waray townspeople In the realm of historic significance All for independence and democracy The final return of the Balangiga Bells Brought in a global laurel to this very remote town That has now stood more prouder yet humble For the ultimate sacrifice by their forebears For love of country and people.
