13THCONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC ) OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 Third Regular Session 1 Introduced by Senator Ralph G. Recto EXPLANATORY NOTE The First District of Leyte coniprises the Municipalities of Alangalang, Babatngon, Palo, San Miguel, Sta. Fe, Tanaua, Tolosa and the City ofTacloban, the capital ofthe province and the acknowledged Regional Center of Region 8. The request for two additional branches is to address the growing demand for the immediate resolution of cases which presently clog the docklets and slow down the dispensation of justice in the area. The Leyteiios deserve expenditous resolutions of their legal problems. The density of cases being distributed among the five (5) courts is contributory to the slow disposition of cases and to the administration of justice in general. Hence, this bill seeks to create two (2) additional Regional Trial Court branches in the Eighth Judicial Region in Eastern Visayas, particularly in the City of Tacloban, Province of Leyte, in addition to the five (5) branches thereof in the First District ofthe aforementioned province. It is hoped that this proposal will greatly reduce the burden of the existing courts. In view thereof, the immediate passage of this bill is 13THCONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC ) OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 Third Regular Session ) Introduced by Senator Ralph G.

Ignacio Josue's Memories of the Invasion of Leyte – Samar
Ignacio Josue’s Memories of the invasion of Leyte – Samar Tacloban Oct 24 – Oct 31 – Nov 9 1944 1. Arrive Leyte Bay Oct 24,1944 (D+4). Plenty of Jap air activity. One dived into a LST (Landing Ship Tank) making a huge fire. A Jap bomber tried to bomb and strafe a Liberty ship, was hit and dove straight down in the bay. 2. While we were trying to land on Oct 25 (D+5), 3 Jap bombers (Betty’s) came flying parallel to and left of our LST 552. Our gunners opened up putting the last plane in flames. The second plane swerved up and then down for us, letting go of its bombs and strafing us. I was OD (Officer of the Deck) and at the bridge with Captain Jenkins. I dove down to the floor with the Captain on top of me. I felt a stinging sensation on my left ankle. One of the bombs hit us amidships on the left side shaking the boat considerably. The other bomb missed us on the right side by not more than 5 yards, throwing up a spout of water which practically drenched us in the bridge. When we got up, there was fire on the spot where the bomb had hit. There was some confusion as the water system did not work for a while. As I watched, I saw Lieutenant Blankenship trying to fan out with his shirt or coat the flames coming out of a burning truck. I thought for a while he had gone crazy, but I was later informed that he was trying to save a man underneath the truck then in flames.
