Seventy years ago, the Victor II Attack Group of the Americal Division supported by the Seventh Fleet's Task Force 74 with 59 ships appeared off the coast of Talisay 6 kilometers from Cebu City for the much-awaited Liberation of Cebu. The Victor II Attack Group was formed in Tacloban City after the Leyte invasion and this was led by Maj. Gen. William "Hap" Arnold with the 132nd Infantry and some 14,000 US soldiers led by Col. Claude M. McQuarrie.

As promised, we will feature in this column today, the 67th year (sorry for the clerical error yesterday where I printed the 57th year) of the Battle of Gochan Hill, which until today still cannot be found in our local history books simply because of our Tagalog centric historians that gave accounts of World War II history from their own views and did not care that history was also being made throughout the rest of the Philippines.

                    [Summary] => 
We wrote about 57th anniversary of the Talisay Landing, which has been dubbed as the Liberation of Cebu as I was on my way to Alta Vista and listening to the radio reports over DySS where the reporter gave a blow-by-blow account of what was going on in the reenactment, which I wrote was totally inaccurate from what I’ve read in my history books.
