year when 75 years ago the most brutal and inhuman acts ever perpetrated on this planet by humans against their own kind had finally come to an end. I wrote about this in October, hoping something would be done in Cebu City to prepare for this milestone, the end of World War II. But it seems no one in city hall read it; therefore, this bold and direct letter to you, my dear Mayor Labella.
Will Cebu City commemorate this historic and pivotal event? I do not know, which is why I am boldly and directly addressing this to you, Mayor Edgar Labella, even if you are up to the neck with all kinds of problems besetting the city. Despite those problems, Mayor Ed, you should nonetheless take note of this milestone year. For the Talisay Landing was but a few hours only, intended mainly to free the second largest city in the Philippines, which you now head.
2. The city should honor the late Col. James Cushing, Col. Manuel Segura and the rest of the officers and men of the Cebu Area Command , Cebu’s unified guerrilla organization, by purchasing a lot where their headquarters was, in Tabunan and set up a park complete with a monument to their heroism and have it declared as a National Historical Monument or Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines .
