                    [Summary] => KIANGAN, Ifugao — This little known highland town does not have much to offer such as tourist spots. But its people were teeming with pride of history yesterday.


Unknown to most Filipinos, it was in Kiangan where Japanese Maj. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, the so-called "Tiger of Malaya," surrendered to US forces, virtually ending the Second World War.

Kiangan’s Lt. Santiago Balajo, perhaps the oldest living World War II veteran at 95, recalled that they jumped with joy when Yamashita, who had his last defense here, finally gave up.
