The Long Forgotten Century-Old American Cemetery

by Nomadicasian for Rus in Urbe    October 25, 2008

Baguio City – An American cemetery that served as a resting place of WWII veterans and other unknown war heroes had been left unattended for a long time. The cemetery with one tombstone still standing alongside untrimmed grasses had become a graze land where animals of the locals feed.

The cemetery is such in a sorry state because the authorities concerned no longer give much attention to the preservation of the place. Every November of the year, cemeteries in the Philippines are being cleaned of its dirty surrounding in remembrance of the dead.
