Senator Loren Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, today welcomed the return of the Balangiga Bells to the Philippines and said that it is a sign of goodwill and solidarity between the country and the United States.
On Tuesday, the Balangiga Bells, the three church bells that were taken by the US army in 1901 as war trophies from Balangiga town in Eastern Samar, were airlifted to the Philippine Air Force headquarters in Villamor Airbase.
The Election Registration Board (ERB) in Pandan, Antique upheld its decision on the validity of Senator Loren Legarda’s transfer of voter registration to Barangay Mag-aba in Pandan as it denied the Motion for Reconsideration (MR) filed by Arnold Z. Sastrado.
In its decision dated November 26, 2018, the ERB in Pandan denied the MR for “lack of merit.”
