Zc957. Although the Tourist Office of the Umingan Town did not know whether the town had a WWII memorial or not, I found this Memorial. It did not have any plaque or description. The two gun barrels are interesting. Could they be from Japanese tanks or artillery? The Imperial Japanese Army had a tank division defending this area.

Zc944. 181116 Villa Verde hike, middle section 064. I’m advancing along the Villa Verde Trail/Road along a ridge that runs towards or connects to Hill 1053; it is now mostly Lahar material. The Villa Verde Trail follows the watershed boundary between two rivers. Right and south is the head water of the Cabalisian River which drains to the right and south and remember the new bridge was built to cross it at the start of the Villa Verde Trail, Pangasinan End. To the left and north is the headwaters of the Ambayabang River, it starts in part at Malico, hooks to the north, then makes another large curve to the left and flows south into the Agno River. In this picture I am looking forward, to the east.

Zc943. 181116 Villa Verde hike, middle section 063. I met another vehicle; this one is actually a barangay Malico vehicle on a government mission to San Nicias, its parent Municipality. This is the first time in several decades they could drive directly to Town Hall. Before the Villa Verde Trail was opened again, they had to drive south to San Jose, Nueva Ecija thru the Balete Pass and then back up to San Nicolas, on this side of the Caraballo Mountain Spur.

Zc941. 181116 Villa Verde hike, middle section 053. I met this car, had a family in it and it came from Malico. I asked the driver whether one could drive all the way to Malico. He said yes, that helped me make the decision to do it later, I made an album of that drive, click here:

Zc949. 181116 Villa Verde hike, middle section 083. Hill 1053 is in sight, the mountains in back are the Caraballo Mountains Spur that runs down to San Jose, Nueva Ecija. On the east side of the spur is Highway 5 going north thru Balete/Dalton Pass to Santa Fe, Nueva Viscaya and Cagayan Valley Region. Now this road project, the new Pangasinan – Nueva Viscaya Road along the old Villa Verde Trail will be a shortcut to the Cagayan Region from the Central Luzon Plains.
