[Summary] => For our first presentation for the Year 2016 in our talk show “Straight from the Sky,” my fellow authors of the coffee table book “The War in Cebu,” namely, Dr. Resil Mojares and Prof. Jobers Bersales, will talk about this very successful coffee table book which was formally launched last Dec. 8th at the Ayala Activity Center in what I dubbed as the most successful book launched in Cebu.

[Title] => 70 years ago, the US liberated Cebu!
[Summary] => 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.

[Title] => US veteran soldiers visit Buhisan caves
[Summary] => Many may just disregard the caves in Barangay Buhisan, Cebu City. But for a group of foreign soldiers and war veterans, the sites are not just historical but also mean a lot to a number of families and organizations.

[Summary] => 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.

[Title] => There was no battle in Talisay 57 years ago!
[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.

[Summary] => I just had a show with Prof. Fernando “Perry” Fajardo for our 11th anniversary on Straight from the Sky where he bewailed the reality that the Philippines (which unfortunately includes Cebu, hahaha!) needed to boost its image as a good investment destination. We’ve known this all along.
