Ormocanon isug na, kani adto pa!



Though short-lived, this unit earned the distinction of having fired the first shot against the Japanese.

On June 16, 1942, the group ambushed a truck carrying Japanese troops at Tigbao, Tacloban. Teraza was killed in August that same year in an engagement against superior enemy force in San Antonio, Palo.

The guerilla leader Lt. Blas E. Miranda, operating in Ormoc, met the same problems as Erfe with Col. Kangleon. As in other areas, several guerilla units spontaneously took shape after orders to surrender were defied. In Palompon, former school supervisor Saturnino Mari formed a group, while in Merida, Pfc. Escolastico Geneston followed suit.In Albuera, Sgt. Conrado J. Daffon operated a unit.
