Two of the Balangiga Bells in Wyoming.
Two “campanas colgante”, church bells from the Church of San Lorenzo de Martir in a brick
enclosure erected for their protection by the USAF in 1967. With ownership asserted by the
“Roman Catholic Church of the Parish of Balangiga”, and with the bells part of the cultural
heritage of the Philippines and baptized and considered parishioners by their church, the “Bells
of Balangiga” have become a subject of rancor and misunderstanding between friends.
