                    [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.

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.
