Summary: We are blessed to have a pure-blooded Bantoanon and an illustrious member of the Perez clan writing about the historic episodes of World War II. Nestor Famatigan Sr. is a gifted man with such patience and perception to put in black and white the Battle of Sibuyan Sea and the heroic saga of the mopping-up operations of some islands in Romblon Province. This famous battle between the American planes and the Japanese armada was the turning point of the war. As vividly described in this book, this battle ensured the defeat of Japan's naval forces. Nestor's outstanding work of recording history is his great legacy to future generations. Without his personal account and painstaking research, these events would be forgotten and lost forever. This well-written and thoroughly documented book pays tribute to the heroism of those Romblomanons who fought against the rampant cruelties of the occupying forces. These Romblomanons helped pave the way for Gen. Douglas MacArthur to fulfill his promise: "I shall return." --Foreword of the book.
