Description

This book contains the biography of Mayor Catalino Gabot Hermosilla, Sr., a Filipino politician, who was the mayor of Ormoc, Leyte, Philippines during World War II from 1941 to 1943 during the occupation of Ormoc by the Imperial Japanese military. His term of office was characterized by danger in the hands of the occupying military force where he demonstrated uncommon valor with the skillful and diplomatic handling of the affairs of the government under the yoke of the oppressors while cuddling with his Filipino brother-in-arms who were fighting the Japanese as guerilla warriors in the town and around the hills of Ormoc while at the same time, "played ball with the enemy" in order to save lives and protect the population under the detriment of his own safety...a fete that he later called "walking on a tight rope." It also contain numerous historical accounts and records of Ormoc that is a "must read" to every fellow Ormocanon. Mario Yrastorza Hermosilla, MBA-TM Author
