roads in the world to Calbayog.

family. The colonial house holds art treasures from
all over the world which were given to the Marcos

Marcos, her husband and her children. We also enjoy

In World War II the American general Mc Arthur fulfilled
here his promise of "I shall return" On
this coast was a heavy sea battle with the Japanese
fleet. Under heavy resistance the American and Filipino
troops landed here on the beach. Because of the many
casualties and wounded and the blood that was spilt
here, the beach is called "Red Beach'' More then
30.000 Americans and 60.000 Japanese soldiers lost
their lives here. In memory of the landing of the
troops many heads of states have placed items of remembrance
to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice of so many.
