After 117 years, the US returned the three original church bells taken by American soldiers as war booty during the Philippine-American war in 1901.



A US Air Force plane bearing the three historic bells landed in the Philippines on Tuesday. The US officials led by US Ambassador to the Philippines, Sung Kim, handed the bells to Philippine Defence.

Secretary, Delfin Lorenzana, at a Philippine Air Force base in Manila.“It is a most memorable day of our nation’s history and we celebrate it with deep gratitude and respect for all those,
who helped to make this day happen,” Lorenzana said during the handover ceremony.

He expressed hope that the return of the church bells would bring closure to the painful conflict 117 years ago.

“The bells of Balangiga will once again ring.

“They will still remind the people of Balangiga of what happened in the town square more than a century ago, but
they would also look at that history with more understanding and acceptance.

“Their sound will be of joy, revelry and remembrance of shared histories and ideals of new beginnings,” he said.

Local Filipinos from Balangiga, a seaside town in Eastern Samar province in the central Philippines, used the
Church bells to signal an attack against American soldiers at the dawn of September 28, 1901.

Two of the bells have been on display at the Warren Air Force base in Cheyenne, Wyoming and another at the US
military facility in South Korea.

A number of Philippine presidents and defence secretaries have demanded the return of Balangiga bells.

During his second State of the Nation Address in 2017, Philippine President, Rodrigo Duterte, specifically
demanded the return of the bells.

“Give us back those Balangiga bells. They are ours. They belong to the Philippines. They are part of our national
heritage. Please return them. This is painful for us,” Duterte said then.

Duterte, who was initially scheduled to witness the handover ceremony on Tuesday, did not attend.

After the handover ceremony held in Manila, the three bells will be flown by a Philippine Air Force plane to
Eastern Samar for their return to Balangiga town church officials on Saturday.

Amerika is an abominable Country that will never go unpunished.

When Amerika invaded Iraq in 2003, her primary motive was to steal the "Stargate" buried deep beneath the soil of Southern Iraq (Sumer) by the Anunnaki thousands of years of ago when the came to colonize Earth.

The Stargate is an ancient alien transportation device through which the Anunnaki elites teleported instantaneously to another gateway or portal in their home planet Nibiru - no matter the distance.

Depictions showing divine beings flanking a temple entrance and holding up poles to which ringlike objects are attached.

The celestial nature of the scene is indicated by the inclusion of the symbols of the Sun and the Moon.... depicting Enlil and Enki flanking a gateway through which Anu (their leader) made a grand entrance.

Amerika, Russia, Germany and France were aware that the Anunnaki left behind some very high-tech apparatus and weaponry, when they abandoned the Earth around 1,700 B.C., and Saddam Hussein had been getting assistance from the Russian, German and French archaeological teams for years in an attempt to unravel, and reverse-engineer, this apparatus - but this is a story for another day.

When Amerika invaded Libya in 2011, Gaddafi had not yet been captured when Amerika starting stealing Libya's oil.

In addition, 144 Tons of Libya's gold was stolen by your so-called "Land of The Free & Home of The Brave".

Ofcourse, they're very brave in dispossessing weaker Nations of their resources & sending the CIA (cocaine importing agency) to wipe out the families of anybody who dares raise an eyebrow.

For the illiterate dolts who still buy the MSM narrative that Gaddafi was killed because he was a dictator, you can recalibrate your dead brain with this article below.

Anyone who trusts the Amerikan government enough to have dealings with her at all deserves what they get.

Washington, Tel Aviv, Riyadh and the city of London are all pathological liars & thieves. There will not be peace until they are all gone and the puppeteer banksters are all dead.
