21 Heroes: Gone but Never Forgotten


On 16 November 1943, Japanese military officials picked 21 servicemen and brought them to then barrio of Angad, east of the town of Bangued. Japanese soldiers tied each and every serviceman to all the posts inside a vacant bamboo and cogon house. Then they doused the whole house with gasoline and set it on fire along with the 21 servicemen.

This humble video pays tribute to the ultimate sacrifice these 21 heroes/martyrs suffered for the town of Bangued during World War II. They may be gone but never forgotten.
