Every year the family drives to Matnog, the ferry port to Samar on the North Shore of the San Bernardino Strait. Studying the route I saw the indicator for this marker and decided this time to find it.

These are images of my visit to the Palsabangon, WWII Historical Marker on 2025-05-15.

The concept and research for this project was by Capt. Gerardo B. Lontok (RES) PA., who perhaps is a relative of the web master Gerry Lontok.
