The Base Hospital was transferred to this town on 27 May 1945, bringing it closer to the frontline where the battle casualties and medical cases were tremendously heavy. Headquarters was installed at the municipal hall, while big tents set up on the town plaza, and on the market site as well as the big residential houses bordering the town plaza, were utilized as hospital wards. Manned at the height of the campaign by 881 military and civilian personnel, this hospital was biggest installation of its kind in the country during the Philippine liberation campaign. (English)
